Here are updated statistics after Google’s latest PR update from the end of June. The stats were compiled from our database of over 12,000 web directories.

Directory PageRank Statistics as of July 7, 2009

Directory PageRank have been very strong over that last 2 Google updates.

The following factors may have affected these numbers:

• The N/A directories were reduced  because I manually cleaned up hundreds of dead directories.
• Most of our submissions that we get come from brand new directories, meaning that we are constantly adding new PR0 and N/A to our database.
• I often go out of my way to add large networks of directories that are stored on the same IP. More often than not these directories are still N/A or PR0 years after being created.  This time I added some of the networks but gave up because there were too many of them.
• Since many of the directories are add by the editor of this site, the results cannot be considered random. The results of any given date can be skewed by the types of directories that were added in the previous period.

As a result of the factors above, the statistics produced are more useful when looking at long-term trends rather than the results of individual PageRank updates.

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

 Here are the changes from the last update a month ago.
