Don't most of them deeper categories on that directory contain just RSS feeds probalby misleading Google into believing it offers unique content?
It's not the issue of directories. Many sites have the similar problem. Here most sites have grey PR on toolbar.
Couldn't agree more, problem is people who own directories don't tend to look further than this, if they did it would be pretty clear that it isn't solely directories that are suffering although I do think Google are putting the squeeze on.
Quote: do "site:directoryurl *** -blah" without the quotes again to see how many pages are supplemental. You many need to click on the "repeat the search with the omitted results included" link to see the full number of pages in the supplemental index. I don't understand the *** -blah part of this. Can someone please explain it? Thank you
