Modes of categorization
Websites are often
categorized using hundreds of modes. The most common of them here all
are location, language and specialization. These sites along with other
modes like age and gender, are explicit categorization criteria. With
the growing importance just to search engine rankings and traffic
rankings, the focus has shifted towards keywords too in scenario. Few
web directories have started classify the websites based on keywords
and have started using tags to fetch website results based on keywords.
Most
of the web directories right other than those that are open sourced
operates on a paid basis. The fee charged may be a one-time fee that
for account creation or on an exchange basis where the directories
demand posting of the back-links within the website content, blogs or
articles. These back links redirect back to the original web directory
so that in turn earns them more traffic and, hence, a growing page rank.
Paid Directories
Considering
the huge amount of traffic that web directories garner, it has become a
trend for third party websites to pay to the web directories for their
inclusion in the listings. These paid inclusions are also known as bid
for position web directories. Such bid for position inclusions rake in
a lot of profit for the directories which are sometimes equivalent to
the profits brought in by advertisements.
