Shame Google ever came out with toolbar PageRank indicator, no one would have been the wiser and things would have been much different over the past few years! P.S. just submitted, thanks!

However itt ends to vary whether they are useful for traffic or not, and many seem to trade on the basis that they provide traffic (when that seems pretty unlikely). I've recently made a move into online dirs, but I wonder whether there is much benefit in having a blog aligned to your directory (like this one). Some like 'romow' seem to have a blog for each category, but even with all that content it still doesn't seem to be worth the high submission cost since deeper pages tend to have no PR (which appears to be a problem across most directories these days). This dir seems well setup with plenty of content, yet again very little pagerank it seems - is it just a lack of link-building or just that Google has it in for anything directory-shaped which is not an authority?
