Dirsensei Web Directory Blog

Well its been quite a while since we have written something on our blog. While revisiting the directory section at Digital Point, I saw some interesting posts from both new and old members but the rest are still the same old crap of link baits and self promotions. The same “Same Ol, Same Ol Crap” in the directory world.

Anyway, I saw some posts there that really got my eye on it. Some web directories have gained sitelinks. Wow !!! Amazing !!! A very big applaud and my heartfelt congratulations to some of these deserving directory owners who have continuously and tirelessly made their sites worth to be on the top echelons of the directory industry.

To start with, what are sitelinks ? Are they Authority Sites or in the league of DMOZ, Joe Ant, Yahoo or Business.com ? These are extra links that are dynamically generated by Google and give them to deserving websites. Not all sites gain sitelinks, and the process of how this is generated is that “I don’t have a hell of an idea”. But what wonders me in frustration is how come some undeserving web directories have gained these sitelinks while some informative and managed sites didn’t gain these so called additional links. What’s behind these “BULL”. There are web directories that are well managed and contents are very informative and I was wondering how on earth that this did not dynamically generate extra links for deserving ones while a few of mediocre directories attained it. I don’t wanna name names as most of these directories deserved it, while some really don’t. Does some of the web directories with site links have editorial integrity ? I don’t think so.

To be continued…..

Dirsensei Web Directory Blog contacted Rand Fishkin a couple of weeks ago about some remaining issues that are happening or ongoing. Their group went to San Marcos and Rand needed a vacation. After that much needed rest and a quality time spent, he immediately replied and sent this to us in a very timely manner. He also made an unbiased review of Dirsensei Web Directory and gave me some hints about editorial integrity that I surely would keep in mind. Thank You Rand and SEOMOZ for that time and I certainly appreciate it.

Dirsensei Web Directory Blog: Thanks for accepting an interview from Dirsensei Web Directory Blog. We hope we could clarify some issues clearly between you and the directory industry but first of all let me ask about your recent trip, Was it for business or about that much needed holiday?

Rand Fishkin: I took off with my fiancèe for Vegas, met up with my grandparents and drove out to Arizona and Utah to see and hike some canyons - it was a terrific time, and a well needed vacation. Next week I’m off to Montrèal to keynote a conference.

Dirsensei Web Directory Blog: To clarify some top issues, when you gave Aviva Directory as an example at your Whiteboard Friday, Why did Aviva came to mind and not some other web directory and what are the search terms that Aviva should rank ?

Rand Fishkin: Aviva’s done a great job of branding themselves and they’ve sent SEOmoz some traffic recently, so I had seen them in our referrals. In terms of specific phrases that Aviva really should be ranking for, I had ID’d a bunch, but here’s a few of them - Go to Avivadirectory, choose something like http://www.avivadirectory.com/Recreation/Motorcycles/ - it’s linked to on the home page. Do some searches:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q…irectory+aviva
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q…ory+racewayatv

Here’s a page that got tons of links - http://www.avivadirectory.com/blogger-law/

Now look at its rankings:
http://www.google.com/search?q=aviva…+needs+to+know

Here’s another one:
http://www.google.com/search?q=aviva+information

and another
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q…ory+blog+aviva

and another
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q…ectories+aviva
(targeting this page - http://www.avivadirectory.com/strongest-directories/)

Dirsensei Web Directory Blog: Do you still believe that in spite of the fact that Aviva Web Directory, who has close to a million links and have an authority status, does the search engines has less trust on it ?

Rand Fishkin: Since Aviva was grouped in with many of the 60+ directories who lost rankings, traffic and pages in Google last week, I’d say that absolutely, the search engines have a trust issue with those domains and Aviva specifically.

Dirsensei Web Directory Blog: As an SEO professional who has attended a lot of SEO conferences do you think Aviva should reconsider on doing some more work for its optimization ?

Rand Fishkin: I’m not sure that it’s optimization that’s a problem for them. From what I can see, Jeff has done a great job building a very good site. The problem is how Google, specifically, perceives directories that sell links - and also how they perceive some of the link building tactics Aviva has used to get PR into its own site. I’m not speaking of the social media work, which is terrific, but of some of the other avenues they’ve used for link acquisition.

Dirsensei Web Directory Blog: We go now on another topic which is web directories that floats around and more popping out daily. You know very well that there are some quality directories out there that are worthy for end users or submitters, In your opinion how would you determine a site if its quality or not. Would content be an issue? Do you still think the methodology you choose to judge a quality of a directory is correct? There are lots of directories which are blazing in SERPs for every imaginable keyword and have little content. Are they quality directories? This question is also asked by our dear friend John Rang of Best Internet Resource.

Rand Fishkin: I’d tell John that a directory can be incredibly valuable as a link and as a website. Look at sites like Librarian’s Internet Index, the Salt Lake County Library Resource Links Directory, or the resources directory on Education World . These have a very different feel to them than many of the SEO-targeted, junk directories that you see marketed on Digitalpoint or in other SEO arenas. The quality of the sites they link to, the process for application, the staff who’s considering them, the content on the rest of the site - all of these factor contribute to how they’ll be perceived by the engines.

Dirsensei Web Directory Blog: What’s your opinion about bidding directories and how does Google in your own opinion view this since it is a relatively new phenomenon in the directory market. By checking some listings in a bid directory yourself, does it have useful content or are these primarily aimed at paid links only as any gambling site or a non content site can be included as long as they have the necessary amount to place a bid. Do you think that Google is aware of this?

Rand Fishkin: I actually don’t have much experience with bidding directories, so I’m probably not a good resource to ask about this topic. However, I would say that if you’re considering a purchase on one of them, ask yourself if Matt Cutts, were he to personally visit the site, want to count links from it in the ranking algorithm. If you can solidly answer yes, go for it. If you’ve got reservations, it might not be the best investment.

Dirsensei Web Directory Blog: Matt Cutts says - backlinks from .edu & .gov are treated like any other links from a trusted site by Google. But it seems you and Bob Mutch consider them as having special values . Can you please explain why is it so? Also, Matt and his Google SE team has taken the feed-back on Paid links seriously and there is a major over-haul of Algorithm looming. I guess they will discount the flow of links juice on paid links and they would no longer affect SERPs. As most SEOs rely on those type of links - do you think this would affect the majority of the SEO community? Question by John Rang.

Rand Fishkin: I would say that almost without exception, links from .edu and .gov sites provide more value than most other links. The problem is that folks assume it’s “because” they’re on .edu and .gov domains - that’s not why Bob and myself recommend them. Rather, it’s because nearly every .edu and .gov domain is well-trusted, well-ranked and provides good link value. The same can’t be said of any other commercially available domain extensions.

Dirsensei Web Directory Blog: Why is SEOMOZ’s quality directory list private? If it is public-then other directory owners could look up to them and try to improve their own directories. This would in turn help everyone in a broader perspective. Also, are there any improvements for SEOMOZ Page Strength Tool now or in the future ?

Rand Fishkin: The link directory is one of the services that we felt added a lot of value to premium content. I agree that if it were out in the open, it might have more of a community benefit - we’ll certainly consider that going forward. As for Page Strength - we made a recent upgrade about 35 days ago, and reports coming through now have an average accuracy of above 80% - while that’s not great, and we’re always trying to get better, it’s a good step up from the 60% accuracies we were seeing back in June & July. We’ve recently made an investment in more hardware and data-capture abilities, and we’ll probably have another large upgrade sometime in October or November that I hope will bring us close to 95% accuracy.

Dirsensei Web Directory Blog: There are sites I will pick randomly from Aviva’s Strongest Directory List. Would you take the time to review each one and give yuor view on them ? In just a few words or a sentence. Sorry for the long list but I asked for 25 originally and limited it to 20.

Rand Fishkin: Sadly, I don’t have the time to go through these, but I will check out DirSensei.

My first take is that the design is spiffy - I’m a fan of the samurai theme Checking out the new links page, the sites that have been added recently certainly look to be of very high quality, with the possible exception of something like the Peak Level Directory (which looks at first glance like it might be a bit fishy, but I didn’t dig deep, so that’s just a gut feeling).

I checked out a few of the categories linked-to on the home page like relationships - I found this site - active relationships - linked to from that page, and that got me a little concerned, because it looks like pure spam. One of the big ways that engines devalue and penalize directories is by looking at who they link to, and if this site is an indication of other bad stuff that might be in the directory, I’d be a bit worried.

The last thing I’ll check is some rankings - searches like this, this and this make me think that Google is giving a healthy amount of respect to the directory. I don’t think there’s any penalty on it as of right now.

It has been the 3rd day now since all this fuzz started of some called A Glitch, while others called it A Penalty but whatever it is Google sure did clean house recently most of it coming from the directory industry and the long thread of battles at Digital Point.
Why ?

Exactly no one knows for sure at the moment as even the speaker for Google, Matt Cutts have not announced anything specific. All are speculations and assumptions right at the moment.

Is it Good or Bad ?

For the whole industry honestly it is a bad thing that is going on. There are sites that got affected which are good ones but there are no remorse for the bad apples that rot the whole industry. A perfect example for this is a PR6 Directory that has a bulging 5000 categories and sub categories that has no listings. It is primarily aimed at gaining strength without offering anything just passing Page Rank. A proclaimed Family Friendly with Gambling Links, Human Edited with 80% of the links as poor sites without valid constraints. So what does it offer actually ? Nothing in particular and it is intended to just rank and be beautiful to the eyes of webmasters not the end users.

You can argue with me anytime but its not really in the web directory definition. Then follows the rest of the other directories that boast of the same thing. Pathetic indeed and imagine these people spends most of the time in forums arguing or spamming to get the attention for their submission.

Spamming Thread No.1

Spamming Thread No.2

Now tell me if they don’t openly target buy/selling links in that thread. And if they get hit with a club they cry FOUL. Isn’t that the most moronic idea of the century ? Now call me one SOB if you can as that thread is just lame and the people involve in there are just hooking up their own herpes.

Looking For Faith

Faith is a Very Good Thing I believe in that personally. How would faith help you if you don’t even help yourself or help yourself with the deception again and again. Manipulating the SERPS and Site Indexing, Buying Links in High PR Irrelevant Sites, Outsmarting Google with their techniques and on and on. Don’t go overboard and get ahead of the pack while kicking the people around you “BULLIES”.

Spamming and More Spamming

This would never stop and they will look for ways and find to deceive the search engines again. Then they would cry, lament and shout that justice was not there. Openly they would say that they don’t sell links. Dude even a truckload of Holy Water would have no effect if you keep saying that.

Bidding Directories - Whatever they say in my book that is Gambling pure and simple.

So Where Are These Sites That Have Been Bombed By Google ?

Alive Web Directory - Former Authority Website

Uncover The Net - Former Authority Website

Aviva Web Directory

Directory Dumps

eWebPages Web Directory

Dirspace Directory

MingleOn Web Directory

FreeWebIndex

Big Web Links

Links Factory

Eonte Web Directory

Forplex Business Directory

Elegant Directory

Biz-Dir Business Directory

There are more which I have not yet looked at. Meanwhile these directories are not ranking for their own names and will look for more. Its only day 3 but we have yet to see what is there to happen in the coming days.

We have been following this Rand Fishkin and his SEOMOZ blog. More lies and more self publicity. His attacks on web directories especially Aviva has brought a popular debate on the internet and somewhat a war between SEO’s and Web Directory Owners. His latest publications of lies, deceit, self promotion ala Howard Stern and published at Smackdown Blog of Michael Vandemar had me puking. This Circus Clown Rand Fishkin is so great at making up excuses after excuses and would not stop. Just a simple “I am very sorry to Aviva Web Directory Owner” or an “I apologize to the Directory Industry” for creating this whole mess would be ok. But no he wants to create MORE popularity for himself and plays it like Howard Stern to go BIGTIME. A smart move that only a manipulative Street Mart Vendor in Asia can do this.

Here are his latest….by Rand Fishkin

So many points to try to address in this post, but I’ll do my best.

1) You are totally correct that I wrote a post marketing our list of directories addition to the premium content, but I’m not sure what’s wrong with that. I wasn’t attacking directories to make people sign up for membership - I was doing it because all our testing and link building over the past few years has been showing me that there really is a very, very tiny amount of value in general directory link building.

Give it a try! Go to a list like StrongestDirectories.com and buy links at all of those low-mid range general directories that market in people’s signatures at Digitalpoint and V7N. Make it for a moderately competitive market like “hvac training school” or similar. Let me know if buying all those directory links gets you any ranking - my experience has been that it just doesn’t provide good ranks, but if your experience is different and you want to champion the value of those general directories, I’d love to see some examples and would be happy to blog about the value if you can show it.

2) Is rankings a fair way to value links for rankings? In my opinion it is. We disagree on that, and that’s OK - John Scott, who’s a very smart SEO, and many other folks disagree as well. There are plenty of people on both sides of this issue, but my experience puts me heavily on the “good rankings = generally high value from links.” Poor rankings for many unique terms in a title tag and on a page can also often spell a penalty or dampening of some type. For directories, this has always set off red flags to me that Google doesn’t trust them because they’re linking out to some shady sites.

3) Is it inaccurate to say that directory owners got upset with us? I’m pretty sure they did… Was there a lot of comment from non-directory owners in those threads? If so, I do apologize for my generalization - I just saw a bunch of links to directories in the signatures of the criticizing members.

4) Honestly there’s not a lot of “spin” going on. These are just topics that were on my mind. In fact, believe it or not, I had no idea that Jane was making a follow-up post on the subject. She’s had her own criticism aimed at some of her private projects on sites like Digg, so I think it was an issue close to her heart. In either case, I can say honestly that there’s no intention to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes - they were just subjects that were interesting to us (independently).

5) RealEstateWebmasters from 3.5 years ago - yeah, that was a total wrong-headed move. I think it was actually the start of my decision to go white hat. I hated the idea that I was hiding something and overall, I think it made me a better SEO. I do still apologize to anyone who was part of that (I think we got 3-4 links out of that and I tried to personally address all of those folks). After a couple months and some apologies, REWebmasters let me back in, which was very nice of them.

6) SOCEngine - you’re totally right on this. I think it provides no value - it’s a general directory with almost no value. I’ll ask the crew to shut it down - it has been barely operating the last couple years. We’ll just keep it in existence but kill the submissions so anyone who is listed now will continue to be listed.

As you’ll note, I haven’t promoted it at all in 3 years. It’s certainly not an income source for us in any meaningful way.

7) The personal attack seems very, very harsh here. I think the message is “don’t trust Rand or SEOmoz - they’re trying to pull a fast one on the SEO world.” I work really, really hard to try to do just the opposite, so obviously, I’m heartbroken to see this kind of post. I guess we can always work harder, though, and I’ll try to do that when I return from vacation.

In the meantime, please do consider responding to my email.

Best,
Rand

Sure Rand whatever Floats your Boat. But attacking web directories and not looking at your face if there are dirt in it and could look at others dirt is a prime example of HYPOCRISY at its BEST.

Continuously adding resourceful contents to our Web Directory is always a Top Priority. We have added a good amount of resourceful websites during the past months and are doing it on a day to day basis. Our editors are doing a very fine job in adding those and I must say that they are very well committed. New Categories have been added like Gas and Energy, Physics and some more in other Top Categories. Our long term plan is to add more resourceful topics on categories but not undervaluing it by immediately adding new categories without any content. Last month we launched a Page Rank Checker and this month we have added a new tool for our webmasters resource, The Google Keyword Position Tool.

RipenApples.com, a trusted friend of Dirsensei Web Directory, whose owner a young php programming genius had set up this tool for our web directory. The tool is a great resource for webmasters looking for or searching their specific keywords in Google. It simultaneously bring results in a 4 column orderly manner. It has choices in a drop down menu of any Google data center available and Google country extensions.  An indeed nice tool that can be used.

We hope to bring more tools to contribute to the webmasters resources on the world wide web and we are very proud of this contribution. Our primary aim is still the same and we hope to deliver the best resources that everyone can use. I would like to thank once again the staff and editors for their unending efforts of contribution and a Special Thanks to Anthony of RipenApples.com for his webmaster tool tailor made just for our directory.

Dirsensei has researched some of the most popular web directories number of categories, listings and its ratio. We have managed to sort the the list from 500 listings and above. We know that theres more but for now we can only gather this information. If anyone has any information on their directories or other directories with results and similar criteria please feel free to add or suggest it at the comment form.

Aviva Web Directory has top the listings of having more than 13,000 links listed across its directory followed by Sleek Directory with 4,000. While on the Ratio of Category/Links Aviva Web Directory has topped again with 8..81 Listings Average per Category and followed by Sleek Directory at 5.43 average and EwebPages at 4.12. As the largest categories in a directory belongs to Dirjournal Web Directory at 11,000 followed by Global Internet Index at 5,000.

Improvements is an ongoing process and has always been in included in our long term planning. Fresh contents and informational websites are added daily at Dirsensei Web Directory. Success is always our top priority, grandiose service to our clients are our everyday goal, safe searching and family friendly websites will always be a part of our commitment and we have joined a campaign for charity as part of our devotion and commitment for the community. Developments are necessary to bring out the best and this is part of our continous growth.

While we are busy doing all these we have forgotten to launch our new addition for our directory. The Page Rank Checker Tool is our new addition and has been doing well in terms of its functions. It was launch and added a week ago but we have never formally announced it and now takes the opportunity. The tool has a rolling content for checking the page rank and on the side has a drop down menu of all data centers. This tool was developed by our friend RipenApples.com and is working on some more.

We do certainly hope that this tool becomes a part of the growing number of tools and we would be glad to introduce more on the days to come. We hope everyone likes it and we would be coming out with more in the future.

Seomoz Rand Fishkin owner of a Seattle based search engine optimization company has been attacking the directory industry lately with his mild mannered antics. According to his statements at his White Board Friday Show, web directories are a waste of money that he gave an advice to one of his posters. So where does this all started ? How come Mr. Fishkin suddenly came out of the blue doing this outrageous attacks on web directory ? It all started on late May or early June when most of the directory owners were dissatisfied when Rand, without an announcement, made the tool from FREE to PAID. Its ok when something in advance should be announced after all he has made the tool free for some time already and announcing it would not be of much a difference since many people would really purchase it at a reasonable price. More story can be read Here. That tool by the way was popularized by Jeff Behrendt of Aviva Web Directory of his Strongest Directories List . Now let me ask you this, how many directory owners helped Mr. Fishkin popularized his SEOMOZ Tool Page. Does an average or normal website owner care about page strength of their website ? Is it right for Mr. Fishkin to attack the people who have helped him dearly promoting his tool ?The problem with Rand Fishkin, the revenge plot is very open and visible. He attacked Aviva and Jeff without even considering that the guy has helped a lot in promoting his tool even though its inaccurate. There is a fine line between quality directory and crap and I don’t disagree with that term but taking Aviva out as an example, whip it and say it lacks the credibility to rank in its own keyword search term just because an SEO expert has been published as a QBC is totally wrong. A follow up on this is telling the public that he is in constant contact with Jeff, indirectly telling the public that they are cool with each other while openly whipping Aviva and Kwik Goblin is definitely a poor show of a stand up comic for an SEO expert. In fact the term should be a Modern Day Backstabber.

However, there are always people who believe in justice. It is an honorable thing and a very friendly gesture that John Scott of V7N has defended Jeff in his absence. See other posts of Rand Fishkin and some followers in this Section of V7N Forums. In my opinion Rand should have taken his own site as an example rather than others. That is a noble thing to do. It is like in a party and you are the host, have invited some guest and openly you shoot the certain invited guest with an arrow in the limb then you say now we can have a toast.

Base on an article by John Rang of Best Internet Resource the subject also should cover what web directories should suppose to be like. Most web directories are primarily aimed at gaining attention through irrelevant modules, content or worse lacking QUALITY INFORMATIVE LISTINGS. So what are web directories definition in particular ? Most of the Top 50 in ranking SERPS for individual keywords for directories in general are mainly focused on gaining popularity through SEO and link building (buying high pr irrelevant sites) but lacking INSIDE INFORMATIVE CONTENT. If anybody has to look it up slowly and figure out what I mean, these web directories have highly huge categories gaining so much pages indexed without even having a single listing. Blank and Nada. Some of them populate it with NEWS FEEDS which in my opinion is very deceiving and these directories are primarily aimed at profiteering instead of the usual authentic ones who takes the real invested time adding quality content. While their site description says the best, quality, high standards or whatever BALONEY they can think of I find it amusing that when I visit an important category such as Reference, Health or Kids and Teens there are NO LISTINGS that an end user can benefit from. But wait, look at the most popular categories such as Internet, Computers, or Shopping and you will find the huge amount of sites that are listed. These people don’t take the time to improve their contents but rather take the time for them to appear in SERPS and TRAFFIC as they claim. Matt Cutts should know this too.

John Scott of V7N and Jeff Behrendt of Aviva has some perfect examples of web directories when it comes to adding quality content. Not mentioning the pioneers of quality sites such as Best of the Web, Clush, Alive, Uncover the Net, Wow Directory, Joe Ant, Romow and more. Special mention goes to C Reed of eWebPages who cooks Japanese Food perfectly while his directory is one prime example of a well edited and useful content web directory.

The other sites in the Top 50 genre ? Well they are just primarily aimed at gaining SERPS, PR and TRAFFIC for the purpose of selling links and profiting like vultures with no intention of nothing and yet they announce their directories as the GREATEST of THEM ALL and placing descriptions such as……. WELL WHATEVER. So Matt Cutts there are some here in this industry as well that needs your attention. Get the axe and chop them off to make way for those that are really deserving in that GENRE.
