MFA Diectories

Web Directories

I shouldn’t rag on directories but I’m in the mood to post something …

Recently I decided to add a few sites to some almost randomly selected directories.

My only criteria were quick and easy entry and relevant categories (with the latter proving the tougher of the two).

I couldn’t help but smile at the serious policies statements of these sometimes threadbare directories. Particularly: no MFA sites.

Clearly many of these general web directories were made for AdSense. Sure they are hoping some webmasters will pay for featured listings. But some are only charging a dollar. And they have AdSense code plastered all over their pages.

In this case the submitter is their content writer. By supplying site descriptions they are giving MediaBot words to read so that Google will display more than the PSAs that many of them were showing.

Excepting the directory creators who know what they are doing - e.g., pursuing tight niches - I wonder two years from now how many of these sites will have become parked domains.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about MFA Diectories. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
