To me this is what matters--
Not to forget 30500 high quality and informative websites that visitors can find at Aviva.
I am really amazed at Rand Fishkin --his understanding of web directories or rather his lack of knowledge on them. The above screenshot is proof enough how Google views Aviva Directory -
a leader and an authority in its Niche.
Mr. Rand is just making himself a laughing stock among serious web community
Since when are directories supposed to rank?
I always understand --directories are there to provide quality information to browsers and help webmasters rank their websites.
It is true - a single directory is not enough to rank a website --but some quality directories like Aviva and all those on my list are enough to rank any site

Most of the time I have to Google --as I am adding --quality informative sites to my directory for better user service.
I hardly see
SEOMOZ rank for any term except theor own site title. How can some-one fool-around and charge $$$$$ from clients when he can't rank his own site
