Death of the Directories?

I heard that now Google is not giving importance to Yahoo directories also. So indirectly google have convey a message to all webmaster that for them directory have no more importance and we should start see some more concrete and positive or may be we should start building websites which are purely for the visitors.

I don't think this is true. Yahoo's directory does have some value as a backlink. As all good directories do. But for $299 (or whatever the current price is), as a backlink, it's not worth this much money. So unless you're generating traffic from Yahoo's directory, this is probably not money well spent.

Directory Submissions is not as helpful as it used to, yet they still work and remain a valid tactic.


But you should submit your site to a fewrelevant directories of high quality.

DOMZ will be a great place to submit your sit but it usually takes long to get approved

I might be in the minority here but I don't know if I see the death of the directories any time soon. There is so much outdated information out there about link building and such that tell webmasters to submit to directories. New webmasters might be the sole reason that directories hang around for much longer than you think. They are the ones that don't recognize outdated info and will continue to focus on submitting to the directories. That said new or newer directories don't stand a chance.

I agree with the users here. Only NICHE directories have future. Or web directories like Traffup (which also provides free traffic)..
