Directory listing and open site explorer

[Shuffled]

As per my previous post regarding my new client. I am dissecting all the previous seo companies docs and basically there are hundreds of directory listings on paper however site explorer does not show any.

my question is this does site explorer not list directories site or are they worthless?

OSE doesn't show all the links.  Just because its not listed doesn't mean its not relevant.  I have a couple of websites that have links from the BBB and those are not listed in the explorer.

thank you is there any way of showing every backlink?

If you don't see them in OpenSiteExplorer, you could maybe try MagesticSEO to see if you can see them there.

If you don't see them in Magestic, you could actually visit the directory to see if your site is listed.

Also, Google Webmaster Tools does list links to your site under Traffic > Links to Your Site.

Hope this helps.
