Thanks Rosalind for the feedback.

I hope you didn’t misunderstand. I’m not really seeking directory links, I am more interested in the directory business.

I don’t know the size of the markets I am in relative to other markets. But, I think I could at least a hundred “quality” websites that solve real problems that are not well represented in the SERPs to fill the directory with.

I actually work in four different areas and have done so for years. I watch every one of the major sites in those areas. No one has built a directory or even a new links page in years.

I too have avoided adding a directory or even a links page to any of my sites because of all the “directories are dead and may even hurt your site” information that floats around the internet.

However, I don’t understand how some people preach the importance of getting links in quality directories while others preach that directories are dead and it is a waste of time to build one.

Is this an opportunity or should I look somewhere else?
