In some instances, the top 25 out of 30 results will come from the same company, many of which have no relevance to the search terms. I spent many hours writing to the various directories and search engines trying to clear up some of the abuses and have had good success with that approach. Most of the problems were due to intentional spamming through the use of mirror sites and multiple listings in the same categories or directories. That was one of the main reasons that I applied to edit with the Open Directory Project. There is a lot of teamwork and problem solving that goes into building the Open Directory.
Great care is taken to ensure a high standard of fairness for the sites listed in the directory.
