The greatest hurdle here is directing users to the site in the first place. The complete review does not advertise, and so users find the site by word of mouth or, more commonly, via search engines. Stability is a rare quality on the internet, and rarer still among search engines. Infoseek was once one of the best on the web, with pages generally listed within a day or two of being submitted, but it is now a pedestrian second-tier site. Almost all pages from the complete review can be found there.
Directories have helped attract users, especially to the Author pages.
The efficient and comprehensive Open Directory is still the place to go. Despite repeated submissions Yahoo has failed to accept any more Author pages from the complete review . One of the distinguishing features of the complete review is the many links to other reviews and information about books under review that are provided. Amazingly, there has been very little interest in submitting links to the complete review . Similarly surprising is a general unwillingness to place links to the complete review on other sites.
