They're dead Jim. Directories are dead.

Okay directories maybe not completely dead but on life support. See I got a referral from ODP/Dmoz the other day and the event was so unusual I thought I would write about it. Way back when, I remember getting 30 hits a day directly from Dmoz the day after my listing in Dmoz went live. Good times.
I think across all my sites the only general directories that send traffic are the occasional Dmoz hit and the occasional JoeAnt hit. Even the remaining directories devoted to my niche, that are still hanging on, hardly send traffic to me anymore and they all used to be good reliable sources. I know the directories I run still get traffic and still send traffic but I wonder for how long that will continue.
