    I guess people are more selective now since quite a lot are being offered at the same time.

    It seems people are not buying directories after 4/4 update.

    If Google's punishing website directories It's most likely because the directory in question is only a directory and nothing else. If you have the time and knowledge you could easily turn PHP Link Directory or simular into and information portal and website directory at the same time. Maybe something like www.allthewebsites.org [PR5]

    Anyone else have any Ideas?

    True, general directories are just too common now and so easy to set up. I would think that what is in demand is niche directory or one which is active.

    I've observed directories being sold in large quantities at one go. That sure drives the prices down...

    I'd only buy 'em if they have PR.. high ones. Otherwise my own would be quite easy

    yep because their traffic is less to nule. Those few visitors are mainly webmasters who click 0.5% of the time.
