Top Directories Directories are an excellent resource when it comes to searching for web sites. While search engines are able to list more sites, they often feature irrelevant results. Directories feature sites that have been reviewed by human editors and are categorized into topical and regional listings. This makes it easy to browse through a collection of similar sites to find the one you're looking for. 1) Yahoo! Directory Yahoo! is the original directory. Still one of the largest and most well known directories on the Internet, this site features both business and informational sites. Users can browse topical listings or regional listings. Hundreds of new sites are added daily. http://dir.yahoo.com/ 2) The Open Directory Project The Open Directory Project, also known as DMOZ, is the largest volunteer edited directory on the Internet. The joint effort of 1000's of editors from around the world, this site features several million listings in dozens of languages. Categories without an assigned editor feature an invitation to apply to edit that category. http://dmoz.org/ 3) Looksmart/Zeal Once known simply as Looksmart, this directory has split into two distinct sections. Zeal, a volunteer edited directory that features non-commercial listings and Looksmart, a commercial directory that requires site owners to pay a fee for each visitor delivered by the directory. http://search.looksmart.com/ • http://www.zeal.com/ 4) About.com About.com is a non-traditional directory that focuses on listing the highest quality sites rather than having the most comprehensive listing of sites.
