We have been busy  over the last couple of months.  Web-Directories.ws now has 18,000 directory listings.

We have been aggressively researching directories.  Mostly from Google.  We have concentrated on adding regional sites.  Most of the recent additions this time around came from Canada.  We just finished a research project for Canadian city directories.  Here is a link to the Canadian directory listings.

Over the last 6 months we have added thousands of new directories. Most of these have been regional and niche directories.  We have reached this new number despite our effort to concentrate on quality rather than quantity.  Thousands of directories have been deleted,  Many inappropriate, parked or otherwise dead directories are gone. We attacked the listings in various manual and automated manners to clean it up. We have stopped listing large networks of directories along with most .info directories.

As a result, the number of general directories has not increased.   The number of free directories has actually gone done.  Here is our free directory list that now has 2700 listings.
