The web directory market over the last year has gone through a new revolution with innovations and improvments happening daily, a web directory today is not just a directory with websites listed in categories but a comprehensive portal where an end-user gets whatever he is looking for in terms of finding the best sites for his business to new and articles on the new things.

Amongst the emerging web directories today, Ripen Apples.com is probably the most funkiest directories that has brought it self into the attention of all the viewers and listers due to its funky design , an embedded blog with latest articles on web directory industry, news feeds from News resource and site resources that gives you access to some extra cool modules for your web directory to make it look stand out.

Among all the other features that Ripen Apples has as a web directory, what distinguishes it from other directories is the special unique feature of its alternative phpLD payment system. The system is great and unique in a sense that it helps a directory owner by not letting any unpaid submission to come through the administrative panel due to a smart Paypal IPN integration, this means any one who doesn’t pay for a submission and submits a website his submission will not appear in the administrative panel. The other smart tool in this payment system helps the submitter to make his submission cost-effective by paying for only the number of deeplinks he wants and not like in other directories where regardless of the number of deeplinks you submit you have to pay an exact amount. You can see how it works on the submit page of the directory where a submitter is allowed yearly and permanent listing plans. The best thing is that this payment system can work side by side with your old conventional payment system if you plan to implement it along with the current one in use.

Ripen Apples is being heavily promoted on the other hand and tends to provide the end user with the maximum return on investment and help in boost of serp’s. It has a unique directory structure with the most relevant categories and has become a very popular resource among the directory owners and users because of the great mod’s it developed uniquely for the web directory industry.It has a good Alexa Ranking and is surely going to gain a good PR in the coming update if we take into account the promotion it is undergoing through. Among some mod’s that are included in the directory are multiple listing and multiple category mod, deep links mod, coupon code mod, disable top-level categories mod etc. The alternative payment system mod is also available for other directory owners.

The directory is just more than a directory and a very good resource for everyone, and according to me it is the funkiest directory in the market which has alot to offer like the other good directories in the market.
