hi guys and girls if making a finance (credit cards specialised directory) which would be the categories, any advices/suggestions will be helpfull many thanks to you all
You will invariably end up making it up as you go along, and adapting and changing your categories to suit. I think the best advice is not to think it out too much in advance, but start with just a few broad categories. 10 is a good number. Don't create sub-categories until you get enough listings on a page to justify it. Otherwise you get into a usability nightmare where people have to go through lots of pages only to find very little at the end of their search. So, here's two categories: Card Issuers Consumer Advice Now you only have 8 others to think of before you can begin.
thanks obelia and kashem, Virtual Credit Card Provider and Prepaid Credit Card Provider can be made as subcategories for Card Issuers, now i have only 2 main categories Card Issuers and Consumer Advice, any other suggestions please guys. thanks
visit abilogic.com , there you'll find many financial categories. Change them a little bit, so that it'll not look like same.
i have set up now 12 main categories if permited i will list them now here : ==> Consumer Advice Credit Card Offers Credit Cards Issuers Credit Repair Credits Cards Processing Debt Management Insurance Services Mortgages Online Banking Prepaid Credit Cards Unsecured Loans Virtual Credit Cards <== what do you think please ?
Those 12 look pretty good to start with. Another thing you're bound to get an issue with is overlap, where someone has a site that could fit equally well in 2 or even several categories. You might see that with credit repair and debt management. There's really nothing you can do to prevent this situation, no matter how well you plan ahead. The fact is, people don't (or at least they shouldn't) build sites with fitting neatly into the categories of your directory in mind.
