    Hi!

    As many[/all?...] of you know, these days Google is working on the periodical PR* update. This update seems to be a radical one.
    There are web/bid directories which are already "suffering" - here is an example: www.bigweblinks.com

    As I know, at a certain point, bigweblinks.com has PR6...

    What about your directory?...

    *Page Rank

    For me, the revelation of these non web directory friendly times is the PR6 www.nextdir.com with a few PR4 internal pages.

    So what did you expect?
    bigweblinks pr was mostly achieved due to aggressive advertising campaign on hundreds of websites.
    Then it was stopped all and we know why.
    So what could be the result if thousands links just dissappeared?
    Not a surprise at all.

    But big surprise for all those 11-17 years old trolls, I'm sure :D

    Yeah, life goes on. And show must go on!
    There's no sense to stop and cry a river over single or few penalised websites.
    Just leave it and go into something next or completely new.
    I'm sure this is the story of the owner of bigweblinks and some owners of other directories, also of me personally.

    It seems like the people that are worry the most are non directory owner.

    Thanks Brian

    got pr 0, but my directory is completely human-manged, so it's different and more alive than directories with prs

    PR is just a secondary element with the directory industry, Primary aspect is quality of service and support- not to mention the usability of the directory.
