    Well, try googling it?
    Asking google?

    Or READ THIS:
    Google Directory is no longer available.

    We believe that Web Search is the fastest way to find the information you need on the web.

    If you prefer to browse a directory of the web, visit the Open Directory Project at dmoz.org

    OH, the above?
    You would have read the entire thing if you tried to go to google directory!
    Geesh.....

    Agree that, Google search is more powerful to any directory. No point for Google to having a directory. Hi David, for directory listing, I would suggested DMOZ or yahoo listing.

    Were you recently banned on DP and are trying to increase your post count again? I've not like many of your replies.

    To compare a Google to web directories in "power", is like comparing a body builder to an infant, you're stating the obvious (duh!). But what if web directories have thousands of editors which edits this sites and catalog them in a proper categories? Would sites in a web directories be more relevant to a search engines? Yes it would. A program vs. Human editors, Humans would win hands down, that is if there was millions of sites in a web directory and with thousands of human editors editing those sites, the truth is, most web directories are administered by one or a handful of editors that relies mostly by users submitting sites.

    Wasn't Yahoo directory a very powerful directory at one time, this is where you could find almost anything, then they got stupid or greedy, same with DMOZ.org where there editors a fraudulent (some) where they list there own sites or were paid to list other people sites that are poor quality.

    What is your experience with the two directories you've suggested, you recommended those two you must have some experience with them listing your sites don't you? What was the experience were like: Were they easy, fast, affordable, great service, what was it?

    First of all, I have no intend to increase no. of post. Thanks to feedback that, may i know why you don't like many of my relies? I only answer to those question I know.

    Would sites in a web directories be more relevant to a search engines? The answer is may be. The major weakness of directory which is not updated as fast as program, it is very depend on human submission, especially for new domain. The accuracy of human editing is very depended on the person experience and skill, when each person background is not standard, the directories result become irrelevant. Next, DMOZ volunteer is work according to their free time, when they free they will update more, when not free they will not even make single submission. Yes, they claim that they have millions of editor, but how many of them is in active for long time?

    Wasn't Yahoo directory a very powerful directory at one time, this is where you could find almost anything, then they got stupid or greedy, same with DMOZ.org
    It become less powerful, because their listing never improve, and finally it result fraudulent. I would feel good, when a listing allow us to make comment and report,

    What is your experience with the two directories you've suggested, So far none of my submission approve at DMOZ. I still suggested DMOZ and yahoo listing, mainly because it is free, high PR and play important roles to a website. I believe the listing at DMOZ will refer as source by most of the directories and others search engine.

    I think that the directory is no longer available that's why. There is a message on the site that says the directory is down if you had tried visiting it.
