This is a short review of Jasmine Business Directory located at: http://www.jasminedirectory.com/

In this short video users can learn the difference between what Google considers being a worthy web directory.

What takes apart this web directory from the crowd?

- Well, each main category and subcategory has its own unique article/description, making pages look more natural than just a bunch of hyperlinks.
- Relevant images in each category are also a nice touch.
- Each listing has its own details page featuring the website's screenshot, business address, contact information and other details. - The business address appears in a Google generated map (this is useful especially for businesses), which, again, sets Jasmine Web Directory apart from other directories.
- As soon as a website is listed, the details can be easily edited by its owner.
- An upgrade feature is also available for those who want to modify their listing for whatever reason.
- They reserve the right to edit a listing, or even move it to another category (if needed). This isn't something I see too often, because, let's face it, a web directory owner will list a website although the title uses the same keyword several times instead of refunding the review fee.
- They apply a high editorial discretion and I personally haven't seen spammy titles and descriptions, which is again a good consideration for a directory as Matt Cutts clearly stated Google's view about paid web directories.
- A rejection list is also made public.
