Trendy Directories : Countdown Has Begun ?
Probably SE engineers and CEO's are asking themselves 
the same question.
Directory frenzy begun when Google announced his PR 
mechanism, slower in the beginning but extremely 
accelerated lately.
Keeping the same trend it's very accurate to say than in 
6 months, with continuously improved automated tools 
for submitting, the quantity of links to be considered by 
crawlers will grow, artificially, extremely.
And the content itself will be almost the same while the 
services provided by directories to visitors (others than 
submitting webmasters) are practically null.
There is one axiom, one question and one estimation :
The axiom :
Search engines will degrade and penalize some but not 
all directories.
The question :
Will this happen on automated algorithmic bases or a 
human rating will be involved ?
This question is linked to the definition of "bad 
neighborhood" and "link farm". The algorithm will 
decide that a directory has over a certain % links to "bad 
sites" and penalize it ?
Let's take a look at DMOZ : based on this algorithm 
Google will need to penalize DMOZ because is crowded 
with dead links and forbidden content (due to corrupt 
editors).
So we may think that a "kind" of human rating will be 
added in the equation. Because it's obvious that an "AI" 
can't judge the value of content, especially related to the 
usefulness towards live people.
The estimation
In my opinion all automated directories will be 
penalized. If the submission isn't human rated or 
approved than the directory will be blacklisted.
Also all the directories based on the same principles : 
approving links without providing any content/human 
intervention, will be penalized.
The "paid" directories, which contains a handful a 
"selected" links, will not be penalized but their 
usefulness as real traffic are questionable and , 
probably, the PR benefits will be degraded a little.
The "big" directories, counted on the fingers of a hand, 
will stay with the same weight. Nothing new here :D big 
guys are always friends.
