Alive Directory is probably the one name that has been most heard of when it comes to a debate about a quality web directory that offers something unique and true value that matters most to the client that lists its site in this internet site resources central.

The web directory market is although not that mature and we only have a handful of directories that are aged but yet they fail to provide the clients the true value a quality directory should provide. Alive Directory is not that case, it started only in the end of 2005 as a web site resources directory and since than a never ending promotion, enhanced link building strategy and continuous efforts for quality service has made it the giant in the modern web directory industry making it an authority web directory that does promise quality service.

Speaking of the look and sleek, Alive Directory has been recently re-designed by one of the top-notch designers making it the most appealing directory with an easy user friendly navigation. On the other hand it provides great features like a Daily Listing Spotlight that gives the maximum exposure to one of the listings on daily basis, incorporation of a deep links mod that lets a lister submit the sub pages of their websites, a unique internet marketing blog focusing mainly on issues regarding directories with some good tips for the people in the industry and not to forget a web directory for blogs where only quality blogs are listed. These were just a few glimpses of Alive directory as a internet sites resource but if we come to talk about quality there is something that makes it stand alone amongst other similar directories, and that is the strict guideline of accepting websites. Since a website after being submitted has to pass through a tough editorial process in order to qualify for being listed into this directory we can judge how many quality sites can a normal average surfer find while browsing the directory. On the other hand it is one of the most high-traffic directory thus providing the listings maximum exposure( i.e targeted traffic=Business ). So if you have a business or a site that you think needs exposure and targeted traffic, make sure you submit to Alive Directory which is a comprehensive internet sites resource.

While the web industry market is going through a revolution and new directories are coming up each day, the market is going through a buzz but at the same time the number of quality resource directories is way low beyond the number of directories that emerge on the webosphere on daily basis. While a directory can better be judged on the basis of maturity and age there are some other unique qualities that a web directory should posses in order to qualify as a Quality web directory, which includes

• A unique category structure,
• Strict guidelines and accepting only quality sites and resources,
• A decent layout and design i.e easy navigation and user friendly
• Decent marketing strategy that brings only targetted traffic.

While other factors maybe involved such as how well it ranks in SERP’s and the Pagerank but for a quality directory i think the afro mentioned qualities backed up by a decent targetted traffic are the best medicine. While i was writing this article i came across a directory advertised in a directory resource site and i really liked its unique and clean design and not to mention the logo (truly going with the name Argus) and the more i went browsing the directory i was really impressed as i saw only quality sites listed in the Internet,Business and Shopping categories, in fact after fully reviewing the directory it qualifies the whole afro mentioned qualities i mentioned above for a web directory to be rated as a quality resource.

The other thing i liked about the site is the features that it provides like offering deep links for submission, a detailed category page with Alexa details, whois information etc and additional site resources. As a submitter the other good thing that i see is the Page rank specially in a web directory but i was happy to see Argus Vision Directory with a home page of Pr 6 and the most categories as PR 5. Definitely a quality resource directory and a must submit to if you have a quality site to list in.

A unique niche directory, probably the only and the best directory available for its niche that lists MySpace related website and resources is Myspace Links Directory. The directory lists only high quality myspace links and resources sites that are of a great value to the MySpace fans.

The directory has a nice sleek and attractive design and ranks very well in serp’s and provides healthy backlinks and a sufficient traffic to the listed sites. The directory is currently PR 5 with strong PR 4 sub pages, and that’s the reason behind decent traffic mostly coming from the search engines and listings brought by the owner in other directories.The Search Engine friendly category structure of the directory with unique descriptions on category pages makes it easy for the visitors to find the sites they are looking for.

The directory contains listing of MySpace Games, MySpace Resource Sites, MySpace Codes and the learning websites that helps MySpace fans to learn how to edit and customize their MySpace Profile and make it look appealing. Though the directory has a whole list of MySpace categories but it’s missing MySpace Proxy sites, which are listed by the users in Other MySpace Sites category.Hopefully in the next run the directory will have a category for proxy sites with same strong PR it has for other categories.

If you own a MySpace site make sure you’re listed in the only and the best MySpace Links Directory.
