it has more of my webpages in supplemental than in the actual index. I kid you not. I was doing some research on the performance of my directory and I found out this interesting thing, the pages in the normal index (which supposedly includes the supplemental) is less than the number of pages in the supplemental index! I must really have pissed off a lot of Google Engineers and their war-hounds . Please take a look at the screenshots taken at around the same time.

Normal Search: 3230 results

Supplemental Index Search: 3240 results!

Nice huh? Who out there can say that they have more pages in supplemental than the pages in the normal index? Does it defy physics and whatever laws? Yes, it does but that doesn’t bother Google at all. I guess this is what I deserve for making fun of Google and their brilliant and innovative engineers who has worked so hard to make the Internet what it is today – no different from 5 years ago except now we have YouTube on Google Searches. So Woe to those who defy Google, for Google will hunt them down one at a time and destroy them with their Google Attack Bots. Coming up next will be the Google apocalypse when all our webservers belong to them. Oh, I think I just peed in my pants.

The Problem With Directory Owners- Too Many Followers

Do you think what I said is wrong? I mean, look around you, in the forums and in the blogs, you would realize that the biggest problem facing the web directory market now is that everyone is copying each other. Speaking from personal experience, I am one of those blind followers. We sort of do what the industry leaders are doing. You know, they start bidding directories, we follow. They start blogs, we follow. They add this mod and that mod to their directory, we follow. Not only do we follow the industry leaders, we follow everyone else too. Someone think of a good and unique idea for directories, we follow. In the end, everyone is doing the exact same thing with no regards to the Directory Industry on the whole. Soon, it will be next to impossible to differentiate one directory from another.

It is also surprising that we (the directory owners) spend a lot of time in forums discussing about directories (actually is to copy what others are doing). However, the main important thing that directory owners should be doing is thinking of new ideas and working on our directories. I mean, other than promotion and marketing, nothing beats good unique directories and quality content right? So why aren’t we doing it? Simple, we follow. Directory owners gather at forums, so why not let’s all go and pat each other on the back? We do need the Pied Piper to save us all.
