Hello fellow directory owners A while ago, I signed in yahoo messenger and a msg popped up! As I was in invisible mode so did not expect any msg; felt a little disturbed! Later I checked minutely! Oh ! Its Aditya (DP id aditya_sfs,); who always remains in mood to send some offlines! Should I read it or not! Will it be worthy enough to read it! I started thinking. Out of curiosity I clicked the link and I find it really useful topic to share with you guys! And Thanks to you Aditya Here is the link: What Makes a Good Web Directory, and Why Google Penalized Dozens of Bad Ones by Rand Fishkin I hope you will find it useful and a discussion will be more fruitful to help building and expand directory as an industry
didnt read the whole of it, but interesting read and gr8 find! have bookmarked it for tomorrow! especially at a time when there are so many depressing threads around! M.
I tooo got this from Aditya.. this is really a worth to read for all directory owners to make the directory business again boom healthily... in long term perspective...
directory owners should read this too: Why SEOmoz Needs A “For Entertainment Purposes Only†Disclaimer"
Nice find Urlstand!!! You have to admit that Rand's nailed it with that post. He touches on every element that makes a GREAT directory!!
why people like follow google? now i think WWW owner must follow google guidelines, how about yahoo? msn? or another search engines? now we have alexa, after that we follow alexa rules
