Joeant - Google still hates them.

What's wrong with Joeant. Old directory... moreover, one of the first paid directory.

Google punished them for selling links last October and situation still bad. Only some parts of website indexed, most pages with 0 pagerank.

I think that Google should be more tolerate especially to old sites.

There was a point in the past where they were serious about creating a true resource, at one point I even joined as an editor. In recent times it has become a garden variety pay for inclusion directory. Well done google.

Google is against paid links. This directory is not the only one that was slammed, there are plenty of others that got the hammer from Google. This is not new news, I would say the clean up started several months back.

Business.com is a search engine friendly name to began with, however it doesn't matter when it comes down to directories. Note that I said plenty of directories were hit and not all. Google knows a lot, but it's not all knowledgeable as everyone has overly feared I would say 99.9% of the time.
