Directories are holding their own. According to web-directories.ws directories are healthy and mostly growing…

Here are the latest stats of PR, based on the 10,000+ directories in the database. Without getting into any real math it appears that PR is up across the board, except for the NA category.

Directories in Web-Directories.ws Database

The following table is a comparison before and after the latest PR update.

The size of the directory sample has grown by 14% so anything above that would be considered an increase. There seems to be a particular significant increase in PR5 and PR7 directories. PR2, PR3, PR4 and PR6s stayed about the same. The percentage amount of PR0s decreased and the number of N/A directories decreased substantially.

Factors that may affect these numbers:

• Many of the directories are experiencing their first real PR update, in which they have been around long enough to rise from N/A or PR0. In this respect it should be expected that the numbers increase.
• Most of our submissions come from brand new directories, meaning that we are constantly adding new PR0 and N/A to our database.
• The directory data contains a couple of categories that are not directories (social media & press releases). The PR8s and PR9s often fall into these categories so these numbers are not anything to get excited about.
