Is this Directory Guide by SEOmoz still accurate?
-
This is good to gather the information. Let me know if this happens as i would like to have an input.
Cheers

It may also be an idea to have a List for UK results separate to the US one?
-
I like the idea of crowd sourcing the directory list. I agree with the "Dont take it down". Lets all be honest here... we mostly use the directory listings for one-way link building, and whether it actually sends traffic or not- dont really care. I know if it did send traffic, it would be crappy traffic.
I would be more than happy to contribute to a PRO generated list, only available to PRO members. That would be a nice perk, and a great value add. i think we all want to know what directories work for each other
This is probably the only place i would fee ok sharing. -
Yeah it's not great and is out of date, has broken links etc, but as with a lot of SEO advice is useful as a guide as to the sort of places you'd benefit from being listed in.
-
Did you create this.... I am up for this!!!
-
as others have suggested it might be an idea to make a directory we could all contribute to and maybe even sort it by country (doing a dynamical domain who is look up?)

I recently submitted to JoeAnt after looking at the SEOMoz directory list. The page I wanted to submit to had a SEOMoz page authority of 39/100 and about 5 links on the page, which looked promising enough to pay 39.99. The good thing about JoeAnt is you don't have to pay every year like other directories.
-
It may be a little out of date...but hey just proceed with caution! I always find that the seomoz juicy link finder is great for finding the more niche directories.
-
I'd second that! There is a lot of UK seos that use seomoz. That said - any volunteers?
-
I am starting a Google doc today, and will start populating directory links with information. Anyone that wants to help put the new list together, shoot me a personal message from my profile here and i will share the doc with you!
I will probably start a new Q&A post specifically for this so we can collaborate and have a dedicated section- so keep your eyes out and join the discussion.

I tried sending you an email and this is what I got: "This user is currently not accepting private messages"
-
I pose this question as an SEO newbie: I know I'm meant to handpick which directories I submit to and go for quality rather than quantity.
Problem: the site that's keeping me off top spot has got there by getting links from 500+ directories -- low-rent ones, at that.
Why does this tactic still work in 2011?
-
Maybe it could be a feature where Users could add and then vote up and down the directory to keep it fresh, relevant and up to date. Obviously you'd have to implement something to stop spammers...
That said, I've still got a couple of good niche links from the current list
-
As I mentioned above, I'm keen for a user generated one! I'd be willing to contribute!
-
I think a note or "warning" would suffice. There is still good info on there, it's just not as relevant as it was a year ago.
-
Very much looking forward to seeing a revised list. Any guestimate when one will be available?

Come on guys, Any chance pro members can get an up to date version?
-
Just FYI (as an update), I met last week with some folks and spec'd out a project to replace the directory list. We plan to have an updated version ready to launch in the next 60 days. It will be WAY better, have some very cool interactive functionality, and feature three sources - web, social + local directories (all of which will have subcategories, too).
I think this replacement will be awesome and can last for years to come.
-
Great News.
-
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.
