Oops, that was "chart porn" not "porn chat".

Is this section still being used?

I wasn't sure about the quality of some of them (ex. porn chat). I've seen better lists of directories!

I disagree about directory submissions. They can be great, but don't submit to just any directory. A great resource for good directories, many free, is info.vilesilencer.com. If you are just planning to spam a bunch of sites to directories, be prepared to only see your links accepted on the lowest quality directories. If you are writing a thoughtful title and description for a high quality resource on the web, you'll have the better directories accept your resource. Some directories charge for the review process, and people like Matt Cutts have said this is perfectly fine so long as there is a high level of editorial policy.

So as I pour though some of the diagnostics data for over 100,000 pages of my site I see thousands of page title that "could" be changed. Could this cause some lost traffic for a while due to the big changes?

Another good reason to switch to Xenforo if you have to pay to have and SEO Friendly site. Thanks for your response. I have already switched 2 from vBulletin to Xenforo, so this is a good reason for #3.

If the user experience awesome, and people are staying on your site and looking around, great. If you think the 100,000 pages will make search engines love you, machines can never provide the love users can give you.

To me, asking if you should submit to directories is like asking if you should post on forums or comment on blogs. Not all directories are the same. There are some well maintained directories, and many times over the years the submissions to these directories help rankings.

Interesting that the Link Acquisition Tool in labs here on Seomoz points a user of that tool to lots of directories.

One person that has maintained a wonderful directory list for almost 10 years now is Dan over at info.vilesilencer.com and great place to start if you want to include some smaller but well maintained directories in your SEO (and lists the larger ones too).

I've got quite a few overly dynamic URLs reported like this one

Anyone know the quick fix to this problem?

While this isn't an exact answer, I find rural area websites are most likely to be in pre-2000 website design spectrum. I did a little look at websites in Spruce Pine, NC and they need some work!
