Hmmmm, talk about taking a big hit? I'm glad I added a few of my sites when the directory was first started and it was cheap!!
I still don't understand why we need so many web directories. When did you last go to a Web directory to search for anything? I even don't go to Yahoo or dmoz for searching. Ok, yahoo finance is great
you dont search in directories google does and if the directory is strong your PR n/a site can be indexed first page through the directory as for alive i cant even think getting up in the morning and see my site goes down phpbb also went down http://www.digpagerank.com/index.php?url=http://www.phpbb.com&dc=18
Why don't we have these discussions after any updates and we actually know what is going on rather than speculating? things fluctuate going into an update.
I am not surprised, alive directory itself is one of the biggest link buyers around and is clearly using PageRank as a marketing tool.
It really doesn't matter as all the directories are getting hit. It's nt all abt the premium directories
It was PR 6 till yesterday... Is this a manual filter? If it were algorithm based, all of us will be hit soon Big question. How about the sites submitted to those? Will rankings be hurt? Anybody seen any changes in rankings ?
i see that aviva directory is pr 4 too. see http://www.avivadirectory.com/ edit: i have also checked http://www.directorydump.com/ . it's pr 4 which was pr 6 before
It's not just directories but sites across the spectrum. Everything from Blogs to the Washington Post.
