Is this Directory Guide by SEOmoz still accurate?

[Marcus_Miller]

Sounds good, directories are still an easy win for smaller or niche sites where there is not much discussion out there. II am working on a site for a carpet manufacturer, not a hot topic in the blogosphere for some reason.

[beeneeb]

Awesome!  Thanks for the update!  I've been using the Open Site Explorer to find high ranking directory lists.  However, it would be nice to have an experienced source for that info.

Rand states "We plan to have an updated version ready to launch in the next 60 days." posted on the 6th June - so Early August 2011 looks to be the target re-launch date.

Hi,

Could we also divide the directory by country?

The existing directory list is very US centric. I can understand why of course, but if we could also put together a UK list that would be great!

If you don't ask you don't get!

It's been about 60 days, how close is this to reality?

[randfish]

Not too close, unfortunately. We have the project specs and Justin Briggs from Distilled is working with Cyrus and Casey at Moz to finish the feature, but getting it onto the site soon will be challenging. My best guess is late September or early October, but will cross fingers that we see it sooner.

Just thought I'd revisit this discussion to see if there's been any movement.  Any updates for us at all?

[lsujoe]

Hey Rand, Just curious, any update on this?

[davebrown1975]

Me again

Any news on the planned replacement? Would love to have an hint as to whats in store

[JonathanSmith]

Well remembered David...I am also keenly awaiting the update

[RyanSat]

Please give us the top 10/20 at least. It has been too late. We can wait for the perfection, but please give us a stop gap solution.

[bekyed]

Yes I am waiting for the updated directory list too.

[Francisco_Meza]

Yeah, I heard that too. He is having a company do it for us. I'll send him a message through twitter.

[randfish]

Since the full-fledged version is very significant, I've asked the team to come up with a mimimum solution; possibly just another list without comment/submissions functionality. I hope to have that up very soon (possibly even just as an Excel download or Google Docs accessible with a password.

[Francisco_Meza]

Thanks for updating this directory. I can't believe there were over 2,000 people who viewed my post.

Just wanted to leave a quick note saying that SEOmoz has upgraded our Link Directory! You can view a post Cyrus wrote with more information about the directory update and link building via directories at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/seo-link-directory-best-practices

[AdenBrands]

I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. Just to make sure im not going to post to any directories ( apart from DMOZ ) until Rand and the team get back to us all!

[KeriMorgret]

Hi! We updated this directory in late September. See the post at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/seo-link-directory-best-practices for more information.

[joesk]

Just found this post while searching the forums and wondering if the new list ever became available?

[KeriMorgret]

Hi Joseph,

The new list became available in late September of last year. See my previous post above that has a link to the blog post Cyrus made with some more information.
