Web-Directories.ws has reached the 13,000 directory listing mark. We have reached this mark despite our effort to concentrate on quality rather than quantity. For many months the size of the database actually shrunk as we deleted hundreds of directories that were parked. We had to do a manual review as most of these do not get kicked out when we use the automated tool to validate links. We attacked the listings in various manual and automated manners to clean it up. The information is as current as it will ever get.

Just this week we added an additional 300 free directories to raise the total to 3000 free directories. We also added over a hundred article directories.

Over the last year we have added thousands of new niche and regional directories. These seem to be doing well based on our latest Pagerank statistics.

I would like to thank our increasing loyal users who send in directory reports to identify inappropriate and mis-categorized directories. Thank you and I hope to hear from you.
