Einternetindex Directory
About two weeks ago we announced a contest that was going to be about the best newcomer directory of the first half of 2007. Just a few days ago the procedure was finished, and the voting has announced a winner. This is Einternetindex directory.
The first impression someone gets is a nice design, original, above all, which provides easy navigation through the directory. As someone starts doing so, he can see that every top category is followed by a content rich article, along with the subcategories. This will help a lot the directory’s ranking on search engines, bringing enough traffic thus giving value to all links listed there.
Einternetindex directory has some mods installed, such as listing details, providing info about every listing, link popularity count, PS and other useful stuff. It also has the valuable deep link mod, giving the submitter the opportunity to choose between a variety of submission options. The newsfeed on the homepage provides the visitor with latest news, giving the site a portal taste. Owner has obviously invested enough on this directory and what we can see is a great result.
But features do not stop here. There is also a blog implemented within the directory. Latest news about Einternetindex are being posted there along with WP themes and phpld templates, making Einternetindex a valuable resource.
So far so good, but what are the points we didn’t like?
First of all we were surprised to see the submission fees. It is a bit expensive, with its prices at the level of an established PR 5 directory. Of course hard work and plenty of time was spent to build this directory, so I am pretty sure that it will achieve a pretty good value for money ratio very soon. So in fact submitters pay up front the value Einternetindex will get within the next couple of months. We have no reason not to trust the owner, so we will just do so.
The other thing is that while reviewing the site, we got some errors, with some pages taking too long to load or even not loading at all. Some of them returned an error message. Probably the owner is working on his code, and we happened to visit at that time. And if this is the result of his try to make a better directory then we are happy to see them.
Overall we have visited a great site, a newborn which is already reaching adulthood, showing everyone what are the qualities a directory must have.
Congratulations!!!
