    13000 links! I did n't even imagine that Jeff would have so many listings in his directory

    I feel that all directories together may have more listings than Dmoz!

    Stiff Upper List - http://www.stiffupperlist.co.uk
    Categories - 225
    Regular links - 699
    Ratio - 1 : 3.1

    I wonder, what is the ideal ratio from a submitter's point of view?

    Did you mean to say "listings", because there are many directories with over 10000 categories.

    Yes, listings numbers are also impressive. I just imagined time needed to plan, organize and create that much categories.

    Global Internet Index - www.gii.in
    No. of Categories - 5167

    However, I believe expending your categories and moving listings to more appropriate categories during the time is better option. Just my 2 cents.

    Interesting statistics, I like the raw data much better than the tools that may or may not be accurate. I hope you keep this updated for us. :)

    Nice stats. Now all you do is work out the sum of minimum price x active links. Starts to give you an impression of their superiority. Also highlights how prices could make or break you.
