Visit google and type in keywords such as "viable directories" or "list of directory sites" or "list of best directories" "list of directory" and so on. Carefully wade through the results and chose at least 100 you find most viable. For article directory, simply type in keywords such as "article directories" and "list of article directories" and so on.
2. Carefully read through rules of submission of each directory and note them down with their Page Rank. You must have installed Google Page Rank toolbar which you can download at http://toolbar.google.com/ to find the page rank of the visiting websites.
3. Spend a week to test-drive the directories you select by submitting a test website and an article to them and watch the results. Why should you do this? It will give you a leeway to fully separate the results-oriented directories and also use as testimonial when you're finally ready to roll out your new home based business.
