Best of the Web - Online Directory

Web directories are "search engines" that are powered by human beings, instead of just computers. Subject terms are hierarchically grouped, and may be searched just like automated search engines. The subject directories may be smaller than other searchable databases because of the human interaction involved, but this can make smaller... better.

Human editors can very often provide a better level of results. In addition to the direct traffic that a directory listing can provide, crawler based search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo often crawl directories, looking for new content. When the crawlers fumble upon your site, listed in a directory, with relevant websites - this can help your "organic" listings on the major search engines.

AVOID "link farms" - these are typically web directories that allow "FFA" listings (Free For All)... These directories often include many irrelevant websites in all directories, sometimes even porn. Linking to these sites is a very bad move on your part.

Best of the Web (BOTW.org) has been around since 1994, and has always been a "human edited" directory. Solid Cactus has negotiated a "nice price" for our customers...
