Yes, end of post.
Just kidding. Well you have to look at what a directory is, it is basically a place where you can put a lot of links in hope of getting a nice page ranked site linking back to you. Well a lot of directories don't except affiliate sites, so if you are submitting an affiliate site for your best "mystery shopper review" good luck.
Just this last year Google pretty much denounced directories of having any relevancy at all. They didn't say it in those exact words, but if you can think for yourself then that is what they were getting at. This doesn't bother me a bit. A lot of directories are ugly, old and not fun to deal with. Especially DMOZ, the Godfather of Directories. Their process of choosing who to put in their directory is as difficult to figure out as the process as deciphering an ancient dead language.
So if directories are dead, I don't think I will cry tonight. I actually hope that DMOZ will start asking me to give them sites to include in their directory because nobody pays attention to them anymore. I will do what they have done to me for the last 5 years. Ignore them and tell them to try again.
Let me know what you think, do you agree or not agree.
