rfgdxm1 - many would go to the Y directory if they wanted to look at a directory page.

I doubt that you and I will ever agree on this point, as you make it every time the subject comes up.

If the SERPs were for the query "sites about widgets" I wouldn't argue that it was relevant.

If the query is simply "widgets" then the most relevant would be pages about widgets, not lists of "sites about widgets", nor pages with "widgets for sale".

As long as G insists that directory pages are relevant, there will be many made for adsense directory pages showing up in the SERPs, a common problem if what we read on these boards is accurate.

Heck, I've got some of them myself. Perhaps you do to?

Finally, if you had read my entire post, and not quoted completely out of context, you would have seen that I stated that overall the SERPs were not bad, just different.
