We all know about Google’s latest change to the webmaster guidelines, where they removed directories as a good source of links. Having seen that, SEOs and webmasters ask themselves, if seeking links from directories is worth it anymore.

A WebmasterWorld thread has a large discussion around the topic. Old time memeber, pageoneresults, said:

But I still personally believe that some directories have value. Can I name which ones they are? Not really because I don’t think it is Yahoo or ODP or so on. I think it depends on the section you are in and the quality of that section. Of course, I believe Yahoo is top-notch in the directory space, but the value is way down from what it was years ago, in my opinion.

In any event, this is going to be a hot topic for the next few months. Join the discussion.
