Penalized Directories PR Restored

Anyone else noticing the PR being restored today on the bulk of directories that were penalized a couple of years ago?

 

PR raise to 7 from 5 for one of my sites.

 

uncoverthenet is back to pr5

 

Was awaken this morning by one friend who informed me that there was a PR update

Checked my directories - and was happy to find that -

I maintained the Greens for most of them - and some got + by one or two green pixels.

Was most happy - when I found that my almost 3 years directory - without any promotion, link-building became PR5 from PR4.

Never really worked on this directory and still maintaining PR4 + except on one occasion when it became PR3 one year back.

So much so for link-building...........

Although PR means nothing these days - still these is no harm in knowing others views on this and its impact on our industry.

So what about your directories ........... ?

 

Mate - here we are talking about only directories.

@DON

Google has lifted penalty on most directories - few weeks back.

My 2 penalized sites got PR3 each. Most others got PR4

 

Looks like most of the directories return from penalties. I still see some of them with PR0...

Happy New Year!

 

Good to hear that Google has lifted penalty on directories...May be they realised the importance of directories?

 

Mine gained one more green last night...I was talking to Rob and did a few searches.
eWebpages is PR4 (congrats Creed , you deserved it!), Alive is at 4 too and DirectoryDump got PR3.

Prosperous New Year wishes from the Big G, may be?

 

I think this thread should be sticky

 

www.dirwizard.com got PR2 from 0...

I think this PR update is very kind to directories and I am very happy to the result.

quite many penalized directories like alivedirectory.com got some green bar...

 

I have 4 web directories and the oldest of mine, also the first of mine to be penalised has seen pr return, thanks for bringing more recent attention to this.

Because the others i have had pr removed later, i wonder if the same will happen for those too but at a later date.

Its nice to see, serps penalisation undone, pr damage undone.

Lessons learned, god yeah, lol

Now if only we could get those .info networks to listen to our warnings then they might not have to go through what we went through, but they are not listening so i imagine a new wave of mass penalisation will sweep (tsunami style) on them unfortunately (for them) some time in the near future.

 

AMRAY Directory stays the same PR4.
It hasn't went back to PR6, meaning not everybody got amnesty.

Google pleads temporary insanity. We'll see how long this lasts ha!

 

Wouldn't be surprised if its short lived...

 

All mine have remained the same - no such luck

 

It could just be a rush of generosity flowing toward G 2010.

 

hahahah... the whole PR system is temporary insanity whereas current changes
is more like burst of madness.
