I have noticed today that the Lycos Directory listings no longer appear in the results when you do an ordinary search. This is annoying as I was receiving quite a lot of traffic from a particular listing.

I hope this is just temporary. Does anyone have any insight?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Dawlish.

Any idea how long this has been happening ?

If this is a permanent change, then I can't see that there is a lot of point of being in the directory. I couldn't even find anywhere on the site that you can use to search the directory.

Any ideas why they may have done this ?

May be this has something to do with it [webmasterworld.com...]

Hi everyone,
I noticed this too today but I'm sure it is because they are finally updating their directory. I shouldn't worry yourselves when they have finished you will start to see directory sites in the search results again. Its a shame for me because I finally made page 1 for a popular keyword, when it changes I'll be relegated again.

hehe, yesterday 8.15pm is my best guess looking at the logs. They do seem a little broke atm though, descriptions messed up.
