Why is it that no one in this industry will ever admit that it is driven by back links and that without Google it dies. Why all this mindless prattle about niche directories and traffic. I takes years and years to build a community and a lot more dedication and effort than it takes to set up and run a directory.

Why cant we just admit that our industry exists by the grace and favour extended to us by Google? What is so difficult about recognising the fact that we have a responsibility and obligation to both Google and the wider community to strip the dross out of the search results and to make ourselves useful. What we need to do is to identify and get rid of the professional spammers and scammers. Those fast talking types who have a strangle hold on this industry and once that's done everything will start to look bright and rosy again.

I have a good idea who I am talking about. So do you and so does our mutual friend at Vilesilencer. But you guys don't like this sort of talk, do you? Why not?
