Google says you should submit your site to a Directory

I thought I would point out google's webmaster guidelines located at

I don't know about other search engines, but this is what google says.

If you look under

When your site is ready

There's a point which says

Submit your site to relevant directories such as the Open Directory Project and Yahoo!, as well as to other industry-specific expert sites.

I wonder what google says about blog's for the people keen on getting their site in a blog.

 

They also say that paid reviews should have nofollow hooked up to the link, yet yahoo will take your money and not add a nofollow.

Google is full of duplicity, it happens when you are trying to talk out of both sides of your mouth.

 

LOL. exactly man.

Sometimes it confuses the webmaster.

 

I think Google is not in favor of general directories except Dmoz and yahoo

 

why not? human edited dirs are helping them to categorize sites

 

Yeah, why would gen directories not be good in google's eyes?

 

because they are basically massive links farms with little or no content

 

Submiting your website to DMOZ or Yahoo ... won't hurt

 

Gotta agree here, submit your site to as many directories as possible! There is more ways people find your website then just google!

 

I did this many months ago, and I'm still not listed. It's ridiculous. I wish there was a way to pay dmoz to make it get listed faster.....

 

i saw general words there . i did not any specific information
