There are a few about, but not many. All directories that had good PR got penalized badly, but we all know why that is and its their own fault for selling PR. Directories are dead, despite what owners say and its bcos their in denial.

Nobody searches them, people want targeted and local search, all these clones cant even get that right, never mind do local - god, Google cant even do local search, so what chance has the rest got.

The publishing industry is a tough, tough game and watch many more shut down. The big companies won it years ago, and that ended any chance of webmaster clones achieving any minor success.

Many survived on sales of PR, bcos other directories basically traded it or bought it. Thinking was if they got high PR. they could sell that to the next one - who also wanted PR. Its nuts, not business at all and now they lost bcos Google caught them at it. PR is a joke and even after the many hundreds of posts on forums, people will still build the stupid things and keep trading PR.

Ive never searched a general directory and never will. Most are contentless anyway so whats the point in even visiting them. Searchers want more and are very fussy where they search.


General directories are NOT for searchers - their built to take money from other directory submitters. They do not get real searchers and thus are low traffic senders.
