Turkoc.com had been a recognized premium web directory which was powered by the Site Sift Listings directory script until it had fallen to the unfortunate experience of being hacked my some malicious Armenian crackers.
Attempts to port the listings over to a new directory management software system are currently being investigated by the Turkoc Premium Directory staff. However, while we are carefully considering several options and investigating such directory management software products for security as well as portability and feature evaluation has taken a bit longer than we have anticipated.
For these reasons we are using Turkoc Premium Directory Listings to showcase other fine web directories, link exchanges, search engine optimization tools, link building systems, online promotion techniques, online advertising PPC opportunities and web based marketing systems. We are sure that you will enjoy the variety, depth and professionalism of the included listings for other premium web directories, promotion information and online marketing resources.
In the meantime, we recommend that others stay away from the SSL directory script in order to avoid the same or similar outcome.

Directories and Traffic By Clare Lawrence
Submissions to directories can be an effective method to boost
your websites ranking.
Google the leading search engine places significant importance
to text links that contain key words (also known as anchor text
links)
Google places particular importance on links on pages of a
redial there.
Provided a directory has suitable categories and sufficient
content for Google to classify its theme then it’s probably
worth submitting to.
Paid versus free listing?
There are literally 100’s of free directories out there, so you
don’t have to pay.
The larger and more popular directories such as Yahoo do charge
and dependent on your budget this may be worthwhile,
particularly for e-commerce related sites.
Some free directories (my own):-
