a web directory or link directory is an online list or catalog of websites .

that is , it is a directory on the world wide web of ( all or part of ) the world wide web .

historically , directories typically listed entries on people or businesses , and their contact information ; such directories are still in use today .

a web directory includes entries about websites , including links to those websites , organized into categories and subcategories .

besides a link , each entry may include the title of the website , and a description of its contents .

in most web directories , the entries are about whole websites , rather than individual pages within them ( called " deep links " ) .

websites are often limited to inclusion in only a few categories .

there are two ways to find information on the web : by searching or browsing .

web directories provide links in a structured list to make browsing easier .

many web directories combine searching and browsing by providing a search engine to search the directory .

unlike search engines , which base results on a database of entries gathered automatically by web crawler , most web directories are built manually by human editors .

many web directories allow site owners to submit their site for inclusion , and have editors review submissions for fitness .

web directories may be general in scope , or limited to particular subjects or fields .

entries may be listed for free , or by paid submission ( meaning the site owner must pay to have his or her website listed ) .

rss directories are similar to web directories , but contain collections of rss feeds , instead of links to web sites .

a web directory is basically a collection of website links . the links are typically organized according to categories such as sports , history , travel , entertainment , and so on . each category typically has a number of subcategories . a person searching for information can browse by category or type a query in a search box . a web directory is sometimes referred to as a subject directory or link directory , and a good example is dmoz .
between 2000 and 2005 , search engines began providing an alternative to web directories . google was becoming increasingly popular . even yahoo , an early provider of search options , switched from the directory approach to web crawlers in 2002 . however , most internet users were still in love with web directories . as such , even google unveiled a directory option – google directory – which was actually a mirror of dmoz . by the year 2005 , internet users had warmed up to search engines , and the relative importance web directories began slowly going into decline .

here is a short video where i outline what i believe is the absolute easiest way to monetize a web directory using the online agency style marketing model .
we usually offer 3 levels of submission - paid listing ( one way listing , annual fee ) , sponsored listing ( priority position on the page for life ) and a website review option ( includes a free sponsored listing ) . occasionaly we may offer free submission to selected categorys within the web directory . the money you pay is for the time spent by our editors reviewing your site prior to inclusion in the moo web directory . having your site reviewed does not guarantee inclusion in the moo web directory . if your website is not accepted for inclusion then we will refund any fees and give you some feedback as to why it was not eligible for inclusion in the web directory . please read the web directory submission guidelines and terms of service prior to submitting to avoid disappointment .
not surprisingly , selling directory listings is often the default option when it comes to monetizing a directory website . it’s also one of the most challenging ways to monetize your directory site because anyone paying for a directory listing will want to see some kind of return on their investment .

directory submission tracker tool for website owners , bloggers and internet marketers . web directories can be sorted according to pr , age , ip and various other features .
one of the most exciting segment of the web directory industry , that seem to be experiencing a rapid growth is at present , is the bid for position web directory sector . bid for position directories are usually a scaled down version of a full web directory , often having far fewer categories , with link listed higher on a page , depending on how much the link owner bid . most bids for position directories display listing of the higher five or more bidders on the homepage .

the source and build directories form the basis of the split development directory environment . the source directory contains all editable files for your project—java source files , editable descriptor files , jsps , static content , and so forth . you create the source directory for an application by following the directory structure guidelines described in organizing java ee components in a split development directory .
one more very wide spread and profitable way to monetize a web directory is selling it . there are two kinds of business opportunity . first is to sell a web directory just after you made it . that service is in demand because there are people that do not like to spend their time coding , organizing and are willing to pay to get a ready - made directory . in that case a newly born web directory can cost ? ? dollars . the second way of monetizing from a directory is when the webmaster develops the directory up to the moment when it already has decent pr , traffic and good records of profit . in that case it can be sold for xxxx dollars or even more .

it goes without saying that a directory should have a blog too . in a lot of cases the blog comes first and the directory follows .

in a nutshell , web directories first emerged in order to enable people to quickly find info on the web . but then , the appearance of automated search indexing provided a cheaper and more efficient alternative to their manual - based directory listing . this caused many major directories to close down . however , web directories still have an important role to play in providing a reputable way of finding information . their uniqueness comes from the fact that the websites they list are verified by human beings — a fact which will always make them a first choice for those who are looking for reputable information on the web .
these are the ways of monetizing , but what concerns the amount of income from a web directory there is the following information . a web directory in general can earn huge profits , good and no profit at all . primarily it depends on the business approach and strategy . quality directories need the investment of time and money . that business is not something easy and it will take years of work if one wants to make profit with it . hence if you are willing to invest the time to make your directory unique and authoritative - it will become profitable
the internet is a moving target that constantly changes . in seconds , web sites and urls mutate or disappear altogether . this situation presents an obvious dilemma for a compiler of a directory of internet resources , because a paper directory may become outdated immediately after it is published . delmar publishers faces this problem by offering quarterly updates at its web site of new sites for the directory . for example , twenty - seven updates loaded in march were available at the publisher ' s web site at the beginning of july 1999 . this effort to offer online updates to the book is laudable . some other directories also have offered extensions to their printed text by supplying clickable urls on diskette or cd - rom for linking to updated sites on the web . these publications address the “moving target” dilemma with some energy and success .

i am starting directory listing business from today . your article was really helpful in making the decision .
according to wikipedia , it’s a “directory on the world wide web . it specializes in linking to other web sites and categorizing those links . ” it’s not a search engine and won’t display business listings based on keywords , so it’s not something that can be optimized with selected usage and placement of words . web directory entries , as opposed to other sites , aren’t found by web crawlers but instead by actual people . they’re categorized based on the entire site instead of a page with some keywords . there are different types of business directories . some have free submission , where you submit your link for no cost . others have a reciprocal link where if they link to you , they want you to link back to them . this includes putting a link on your site entitled “find us on x directory . ” some require paid submission . others are affiliate links , where the directory makes money by charging commission for business referrals .
the second most popular way to monetize is advertisement . it includes google adsense , yahoo , adbrite and chitika ads . in order to earn from ads on the web directory a smart strategy should be applied . the main group that visits the directories is webmasters who submit their web - sites . web masters are believed not to click on adsense , because they are aware of all these ads stunts . that is why web directories are believed not to generate any money from ads . it is not actually true , because many people put ads on the submission page and advertise the things that interest web - masters like seo or software . in that case webmasters do click and the profit from ads can cover the costs of running a directory and that is already significant achievement . what concerns niche directories they really can earn with the help of ads because they have the traffic not only from webmasters , but also from the target audience that is primarily interested in the specific area of the directory . if the ads on the directory add some additional information and are related to the niche topic of the directory then the ads will become popular and can bring a significant income .
