How big is your directories sub category? Not a directory of directories, or directory lists. I talking about general topic web directories with a directories sub-category. How many directory listings do you have? 200? 400? 600? 1000? 2000? more? How big is yours? Do you know of any big ones?
Times have changed I believe, nore more Directory Spongiform Encephalopathy An old directory had 22 My new one: 2 At least now you no longer see the web directory as a top level category
Although not many sub-categories to manage, I think you might need to try and manage a little better.: ex:http://kahuki.com/arts_humanities/art_history/ (first site listed) Creed I only have several hundred. far from the biggest. Dir Journal has quite an extensive set of sub-categories.
I'm wondering about the number of actual listings in durectories sub-categories and not the sub-cats themselves.
Depends.. The Main Cats are around 30 and the sub cats range from 4 to over 50 and so on... Currently 25809 sites listed in 4929 categories at http://KingBloom.Com
That is something that I have to work on. I do add, but you obviously know my recent road-block which will last 4-6 weeks. =/
DirJournal sure has an extensive list of sub-cats...However, while browsing through the site the other day, I came across some empty ones...If I am not mistaken, Aviva had some empty subcats too that Jeff got rid off...
I guess I am confused about what you are really asking. Are you asking the total number of listings in the directory as a whole, or the number of listings within a subcategory of that directory. If the later is the case its gonna be really hard to come up with a number unless we are referring to one specific sub cat. I would say that of my nearly 26,000 listings in my directory as a whole, the largest number of listings within one sub cat is my Shopping and Services sub cat with 4300+ listings. The next highest is Health and Fitness with 2350+ then Transportation and Travel with 2350+ The lowest number I have is Weird Stuff with 22 Hope this helps!
I wrote a script for Jeff quite a ways back to specifically check for this, because he did indeed want to eliminate any empty categories which I do believe he did. I remember giving it to Bruce as well. I don't know where I have it, but if you wanted it I could try and find it for you. R
Raises hand I'd like to know how many directories are listed under the directories sub category of some of the general directories outr there. I'm not looking for total number of subcategories, just the number of listing found under the directories sub cat.
AMRAY has about 65 in main Directories, 17 in Miscellaneous and 48 in niche Categories. Keeping in mind directories come and go it's very hard to have solid numbers in that particular Category. Plus you want to be selective who gets in there and stays fastreplies
