Directory world updates
Jan 26th, 2008 by Chetan Bhawani
Sorry for the absense of posts in this blog since a few months as there were many clashes against directories by search engines, and also i was stuck up with studies.
But anyways going to keep the blog updating by news from the directory world. The major things that lately happened in the directory world are like update of scripts, directory penalization etc.
PhpLD script has released the new version update regarded to be v3.3 in which the major change seen is the article mod in categories. As the directories were hit by search engines for paid links and no content.. The “content is king” concept is implemented in this script.
Couple of days back, there was a buzz all over the directory forums that avivadirectory.com was back into good positions in SERPs after it was penalized and was gradually getting de-indexed in google. There might be some tricks used by Jeff to get back.. He told he might share the trick with other directory owners who have faced penalization.
The MSN girafa thumbnails that are generally used by directory owners in their directories, have been disabled by the MSN guys, so they will not be connected and displayed in your directories, if you are having the MSN girafa code for thumbnails in directories.. You can replace them by snap.com’s thumbnails services.
Posting this through mobile, so can not elaborate more about these stories..
Good luck to all the dir owners.

Well this is old news… I tried the Snap snapshots and they were annoying, so I have contacted the guys at Girafa, and they have a free service for directories for up to 2000 snapshots a day. If you want to use their free service and keep your directory the same as it was, go to:
