Matt Cutts has caused quite a stir in the SEO world with his post on reporting sites that sell links. Now I have a clear opinion that this is not some darstadly plan of googles to dominate the world, but a genuine attempt to improve there SERP´s quality with a new algo tweak that tries to identify sites that sell links.

But does this mean that directories are out of business? I mean, who actually buys a yahoo directory listing for the traffic? Come on Matt thats a link that is purchased to manipulate SERP´s. And its in the google webmaster guidelines!

I see the idea as clearly correct, but a little more clarity in the simple question about the yahoo directory would surely help lots of webmasters understand what types of links can be purchased without the link condom no follow tag or not.
