The Open Directory Project

A general directory is a directory that contains numerous categories and sub-categories for a variety of subjects and topics.  A quality directory is one that is updated and maintained on a regular basis.

The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a vast, global community of volunteer editors.

Being listing in The ODP definitely has it's advantages.

While other popular directories are now requiring fees to be listed, The ODP has remained a source to submit your web site to be reviewed and listed -- for free. There is no fee at all to submit your site to The Open Directory Project and according to their web site, there never will be.

Google, one of the worlds most popular search engines, supplies results for The Open Directory Project in the Google Directory. The ODP also offers directory results to some of the largest search engines, directories and portals including Netscape Search, AOL Search, Lycos, HotBot and DirectHit, to name a few.

A Few Ways To Increase Web Site Visibility:

  • Seek Advertising Partners

  • Get Listed In Directories

  • Develop Your Own Directory

How Can Web Site Design Affect Search Engine Optimization & Corresponding Rankings?

  • Directory editors will actually review your site and be critical of issues that you might not be.

  • Search engine spiders can't see what you and I see so they must rely on the specific algorithms set for them. Some of these algorithms are going to depend on design issues in your web site.

  • When directories or spiders become confused or slowed down because of design issues, your page becomes less relevant.

Your Web Site Graphics Can Even Affect Your Traffic and Rankings!

Avoid:

  • Heavy Graphics

  • Slow Loading Graphics

  • Flash and Animated Graphics

Include Quality Content In Your Web Site!

  • Your visitors are looking for information!

  • Today's search engines want to provide their searchers with web pages that offer exactly what that searcher is seeking to find.

  • By theory, the more information that is found in a web site about specific products or services, the more relevant that web site is going to be to a searcher looking for information.

Choose Your Hosting Service Carefully

  • Make sure that you have a unique I.P. address for each of your sites.

  • A quality hosting service should allow you twenty-four hour access to your files.

  • You should have the ability to up-load files at YOUR convenience.

  • Technical assistance should available at least during business hours on normal occasions.

  • You should be guaranteed 99.9% up-time.

  • Avoid free or very cheap web hosting and services that require pop-ups or advertising.
