Same ol, same ol tyres being kicked around the directory garage, round n round we go again. sometimes I think people focus to much on what others are doing rather than worrying about their own sites. Hope all have been well.v
I agree this assessment and with Nima's original post. This issue has been bugging me over the last 2 months and has gotten much worst. Very few people are creating new good directories anymore. Why create 1 good directory when you can create 100 bad ones. From my experience, almost all of these directories are still crap years later. If people use a category dump then they should spend some time to personalize it. Google has no use for duplicate content. I think it is time to start spreading the word about this issue. On Web-Directories.ws, I have already started noting the directories that share the same category structure with hundreds of other directories. I will also blog about it. I am glad I am not the only one that feels that this is potentially harmful for the directory industry. Let's get the work out.
Web-Directories.ws is the best new directory I've seen in ages It actually has content that is useful rather than the usual collection of random links
Where are the directories?, where have they been It seems that there's almost nothing left in quality directory sites...
Of course it matters. In most cases directory with higer PR will rank better for keywords in its content. I said in most cases... Whatever people think these days....directory submissions will still get you well ranked if you are patient enough. You will not see real results after three months. But a year or two and it ads up ! Directories are still strong if you submit for long term effect !
