DirectoryWorld.net is quite an anomaly in the directory industry. Many webmasters prefer directories with “Search Engine Friendly” urls, but you won’t find them here. This does not seem to effect DirectoryWorld’s search engine rank one bit, as it appears on the first page of Google for the keyword “web directory.” Also, Google refers about 32% of all traffic to directoryworld.net and the popular keywords “web directory” and “directory” account for 30% of all search engine traffic. Who would have guessed, a web directory that requires payment or a reciprocal link and does not have search engine friendly urls is actually ranking well in Google. And for those who care, this web directory does have inner pagerank. Hmmm. Just something for directory owners to think about.
