Claims that google may be manually decreasing the rankings of web directories

http://sphinn.com/story/4415

Seems to be a blog about it.

Heres your chance, have your say

Curious that some people have been pushing this story very hard with little evidence. Just directories? How about other types of sites that engage in certain behaviours?

Wouldn't be surprised if it's a competitor.....

is this story listed elsewhere aswell? can you pm me the link please, i love reading the replys from the people freaking out.

Well........we should not go for all directories or a lot of directories to submit our site it may be wastage of time and effort. We should focus on high quality, older directories having large amount of traffic and higher page rank to submit our site.

I agree .. quality matters not quantity for Google

I am not sure about it..but fact is obvious..that most of the webmasters using them for building smart three way links with no rational purpose for other websites. I mean just a exchange medium. Still directories do retain their value and there is nothing denial in the fact.
