The new generation of directories has arrived

Hi all,

After weeks of working with vert little sleep (and a lot of dreams about directories) I am proud to interduce you my new concept of directory:
Keywords directory

What is the difference?
* No longer categories tree - the user choose the keyword they want to list their site under. Of course they can choose several keywords and have multiple submission. For example if you have a website selling computers in LA, you can submit it under many keywords you like ('LA computer shop', 'buy computers' etc..." so you have more freedom than regular directory.

* Pricing - each keyword has a different price tag according to the popularity. At the moment new keywords that are not in the DB are free! many of them will stay free.

Give it a try and I will be happy to hear your thoughts about it.

 

hmm.... very very interesting concept. however, i don't know if this is maintainable if/when your directory grows beyond 'little'. so i'm not sure of the lifespan of your directory.

 

it looks similar to wordcloud

 

In the absence of a directory structure, isn't this a search engine?

 

Interesting will follow the progress closely
Well Done

 

I think the concept exist already in bigoole for example (the largest directory in the world )

 

A directory who's only method of browsing is through a search function is surly a search engine?

 

Indeed an interesting Idea.
Haven't seen many directories of such type.

 

a directory means that you are classifying sites according to some critera
- theme: the usual directory type
- keyword: this new kind of classification
or any other criteria.
a search engine crawls the sites and determines their themes and keywords for which they should rank.
search engines are based on algorithms while a directory is edited by humans.

 

Totally agreed. I think it's a kind of word cloud site

 

Very interesting Idea indeed. May be its more of a search engine than a directory looking. But you have put a lot of effort in it --no doubt about that. Kudos and best of luck.

 

not really...
In Bigoole it is more like search engine if you search for 'web directory'
you get: http://www.bigoole.com/search.php?q...h&search=Search+the+World's+Largest+Directory

while in Lola directory if you search for 'web directory' you will get
http://www.loladir.com/web_directory

As you will get in a regular directory.
The difference is that the category tree is invisible.

Anyway thanks for your comments

 

in a way yes - it use thw word cloud to display keywords, but there is more than that in it

 

I think yes, he also crawling sites now.

 

nice attempt, but like some has said, it is like Wordcloud and i just don't see how that will be valuable to customers since there is no way you can possibly pass high PR to ALL POSSIBLE KEYWORD pages....

but i wish u success nevertheless

 

Looks like a search engine to me - and am empty one at that...

 

I think everybody associates a search engine with a search form in an empty page

 

well it is not a search engine... it doesn't crawl any site...

 

Interesting idea, according to Wikipedia it isn't a directory:

"A web directory is not a search engine, and does not display lists of web pages based on keywords, instead it lists web sites by category and subcategory."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_directory

Good luck with it anyway

 

Well its definatly different ...

how much is cost? or is it by donation?

thx
