# Directory Link Evaluation
Use this skill to decide whether a directory, listing, association profile, citation site, or resource index is worth pursuing or keeping.
This skill is derived from Garrett French and Eric Ward's *Ultimate Guide to Link Building* and uses transformed guidance with durable book-topic references. Do not copy book prose into user outputs.
## Quick Start
1. Use the Contents table below to choose the smallest useful reference set.
2. Use `workflows/evaluate-directory-links.md` for a full evaluation pass.
3. Confirm the directory serves a real audience or market function.
4. Apply hard rejects before considering authority metrics.
5. Return submit, update, monitor, or reject recommendations with evidence.
