All web directories have lost PR??????

All web directories have lost PR??????

I have done multiple check and all my checks shows that web directories have lost their PR.

Anyone can confirm/has an explanation on this???

Google throws away all web directories?

 

you should have discussed this at directory section mate, this is general chat section..

btw my directory hasn't lost, it is still PR2, besides, it was 3 a year ago..

 

Just checked a couple - one had lost PR (shoing N/A), the other still had PR 4.

 

my google toolbar shows they all still have page rank

 

Perhaps there are some changes. Lately Google PR has been fussy these past days and I suggest you not to worry about it till it settles down.

 

not really. I have seen many of them got promotions
Their PR actually increased a lot.

 

I think Google will eventually start to dislike directories as a lot of people sell links, abuse directories.

 

quality directories kept their PR.
however, directories that accept all submission without reviewing them gonna get penalized by Google, that what i;ve red from Matt cutts blog.

 

I have 3 directories, 1 lost but the others are fine ...

 

My google toolbar is still showing PR's to lots of directories...and also, I own a directory which is still PR3.

 

Nope.. All my directories remains in same PR.

 

Some of directories have good PR.

 

Most of new directories were created on Old domain names and few were junk . Now only quality maintained directories have page ranks . I have few good list and all of them are well ranked now also .

 

My directories remnants within same Page Rank.

 

Glad I saw this thread, its exactly what was on my mind.

I just wrote a series of two posts on my blog about why exactly directories are dead and why/how they're being replaced by bookmarking sites.

Basically, directories aren't relevant to the internet anymore. Search technology made them partially obsolete, but social bookmarking is really what kills them.

Bookmarking sites are just like large directories that allow chat and voting. Google hates manipulated results, and they love democratic voting. Add this in with the way that every blogger will gladly post Digg & Reddit buttons on their post and there's just no way that directories can keep up in the long run.

 

Mine are the same and bid directories

 

I own a pagerank 5 directory.
It has been up and running for 2 years now.
I wont give away the link so it wont be considered that I am advertising it.
I get arround 2000 UV/day and about 7000 hits/day .
I can say that quality links that are submited get arround 100-200 hits every month from my directory. People submit to it, because its pagerank and inner pr categories.
along the 2 years, it got arround 30 000 links submited and arround 2000 featured, so anyone can conclude that the website sold links. Although, I was never penalised by google, having ALL, and I mean ALL my pages/link indexed, submitting propper sitemaps.
So I can say, clients get what they are looking for, when submiting to me .
Refering to your post, my thought is that 80% of directories are irelevant, and needs to be deleted, but not all .
Ontopic, refering to the first thread, it didnt lost its PR, hoping on the next update on a PR6.

Then again, its only my thoughts ...
Maybe the directory business will be gone soon.
Though, I cant figure the day when people wont submit to dmoz, business dir, yahoo, etc .

Cheers.

P.S. Sorry for my english

 

Wait it will bounce back if you did not do any thing wrong

 

Billions of Directories had caused spam and net result is pg loss.

 

i dont think so that all directories loosing their grip..but some of them loosing their ranking due to less quality.
