I love directories, for a lot of reasons. The biggest one is that they do make me a few bucks just by putting up a new one. Now my problem is that I tend to overdo it and end up with more directories than I can spend my time promoting and keeping updated. My latest directory is a free general directory and it is taking too much of my time just reviewing the submitted sites. Plus seriously looking at actually opening not one, but two more directories! Today I decided that before I opened up any more directories, I would sell off three (3) of my present directories.
I put up a sales thread on several forums to sell these directories. One of the threads is at digital point forums and within a half hour of putting it up, I had sold one of the directories. So that leaves me with two directories I want to sell off asap. One directory is my oldest bidding directory that because of hosting problems, not once but twice can you believe it, was down and up and down and finally back up. In all that, the directory lost all page rank, it was a page rank 3, and finally got back some page rank to end up now with a page rank of one. I looked at this directory very close and decided that I really did not want to promote it as hard as I do my other two. And with that, I put it up for sale. And at a fire sale price! Go to digital point and see the last two directories still for sale and if you like, purchase one or both. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1066621#post9505563

There is now a rumor floating around that DMOZ may sell out to BOTW!
Shoemoney has posted this on his blog: http://www.shoemoney.com/2008/09/13/botw-in-talks-to-take-over-dmoz-from-aol/
Jeremy Shoemaker, of the popular Shoemoney blog, posted that the owners of Best of the Web Directory are in talks to buy Dmoz from AOL and that a “deal could be reached fairly soon.”
It is unknown whether a sale would change Google’s use of Dmoz for its own directory or would prompt Google to reconsider how much weight it gives the sites linked within Dmoz. For those who don’t know, Google is still relatively cozy with Dmoz in that it maintains a Google Directory that is a duplicate copy of the dmoz.org content. Dmoz also is still considered a great place for your site to be listed to gain premium Google link power that helps your PageRank.
Over the last year Google has made it clear they don’t like the selling of links from anywhere, especially directories. Google has also made clear that it considers the selling of inclusion in a directory tantamount to selling links. Many directories have experienced a severe lowering of their PageRank that have effectively made links (and inclusion) less valuable to potential buyers.
Since Dmoz is a free directory with moderators who decide whether a site is included or not, Google still gives their coveted Google juice to sites listed in Dmoz.
A listing in BOTW.org is not free. It charges a hefty $249.99 review fee which is a prerequisite for inclusion. BOTW makes the point in bold font that their review for inclusion is not a guarantee of inclusion in their BOTW Submit Terms of Service. Apparently Google believes there is enough editorial value in these reviews because BOTW.org still has good PageRank within its categories.
However, Google has penalized many other directories that charge for inclusion reviews. Many website owners feel that even the appearance of selling links leads to PageRank reduction. BOTW is an old, established directory with lots of quality listings similar to Yahoo, which also sells inclusion reviews and suffers no repercussions from Google either.
So how do you feel about this? Is it for the best for both directories? Will they merge and only be one directory? So many questions and few answers so far!
