what does that offer to the user?

I totally agree, nothing, I've been seeing this for quite some time now for my trade's widgets and it is nearly always the same two Chinese directory sites that Google seems to love listing links over and over again. For one search term the other day about the first 14-15 results were solely for these two sites.

Yes, the pages are actually semi-pertinent for large, wholesale bulk buyers but totally useless for Joe Public or even Joe B&M tradesman.
