With Zeal going down on March 28th it got me thinking a bit about directory’s.
Are they really of any value any more?
Check out the podcast!

nice job bro, i like the question/answer 😀
Another cool podcast. I agree with Andrea the Q/A style was pretty cool, especially since it covered multiple opinions on the topic. Nice job.
OMG David Naylor is FRICKING HILARIOUS!
nice video, looks like you got that hd cam wired

Good topic, and very well structured/ It was interesting to watch and listen to the varied opinions on directories. It beats webmasterradio. Time for seotv ?
Is anyone else having problems downloading this video?
Surprised I’m the first, but ah… where’d you get the girls?
Have you checked out Bob Mutch’s directory list? Very interesting system of appraisal:

Great video. Nice kitchen:-)
This was a great explanation of what directories are.
I’m not convinced that so called “scraper sites” do not gain value over time as they continue to focus on their niche and diverge from a source that might have seeded them initially.
I’ve also heard that as a spidering resource, directories are and will continue to be very important to the major search engines.
They are not link farms if they review each submission by definition.

Thanks for posting here.
Nice work
[…] The real debate here is whether you should submit to all the directories that you can find that meet our criteria, or just a few quality, possibly paid, directories. I’ve heard marketing guru Shoemoney recommend submitting to everything and anything going, the theory I guess being throw enough shoot and some will stick (the value of a link from many lower ranking directories seems negligible), but to me this seems a little too much like the old FFA pages (they’re still around!). I might do this for a MFA site, or small affiliate site, but for a ‘proper’ website I would be inclined to go for DMOZ, Yahoo and several good quality paid directories. Gathering low quality, essentially spammy, links too quickly seems negative to me. […]

[…] Shoemoney had an interview with some top SEO experts a while back and they believed that only Directories that sent traffic to your website were worth the money. You have to be you own judge as each site is different, but I like them for backlinks also. […]
