Google Pagerank Update and Directory Submission

by NetSmarter, 2007-10-27 00:05 (Web Traffic and SEO)

In late October 2007, Google updated its Toolbar Pagerank values after a longer than usual delay. Many websites have suffered a decrease in their Pagerank value, especially those that have participated in link selling and link farms. As a result, when submitting your websites to web directories, you should re-consider values of those directories. After the recent Google PR update, I checked the PR values of the most popular web directories, and found that a lot of them have their Pagerank value dropped.

Below is a list of web directories with a PR value at least 5 after the Google Pagerank Oct 2007 update:
