We don't (or at least shouldn't) do things for PR. You should do it because it will bring relevant visitors to your website first and foremost.

Good advice, but mind clarifing? Do users actually use directories to find what they need?
Submitting to directories is a week of hard work and i'm not sure they equal classified ads like a newspaper in being used by consumers.
So my questions are:
1 ) Do users utilize directories?
2) Are they still considered valuable at increasing PR?

Thanks for the time Incrediblehelp!

What's a good point?

That PR has no impact on a website's sucess?
or
That most web users perfer to use small directories instead of magor search engines like Google or Yahoo?

PR does matter. It is used by Google and by Yahoo. I certainly agree that content is far more valuable, but PR gets that content looked at alittle closer.

In fact our site provides an extensive Pet Advice Center
Pet Advice Center
We actually have several pet care books integrated into our free information for our pet supply custmers. Not to mention Pet Product Reviews.

My question is valid & you do not hear many Modorators talking about directories much lately.

Do users use directories and can they still assist with pr?

Most directories I have submited to have "0" PR on the page I submit to and most of the dietctories look way too shakey for any user to bother utilizing.

Please view this more still as a question and not just an opinion. If it has a defensive tone that is because incrediblehelp's replies are usually meant to be more hostile then helpful (no offense incrediblehelp, but scan through the list of your post).

The good point is the exact comment I quoted, that a web directory is highly resourceful in SEO.

It is to have such information.
I am sending my site immediately.
I personally believe that PR would not be a matter of concern here.
That's right if it had PR10 then may be it would have been costly.

Given the recent demolishing of paid directories by Google this thread should be sent to the pits!

It have been always obvious that you should continiously try to get links for driving traffic to your site. But do you mean with your statement that PR is not important? I hope not.
