Jtrotta Web Directory
When we were asked to check out jtrotta web directory, the initial thought was, yes, another directory so what. But we did go and have a look. Unique header, Check. Good looking template, Check. A reasonably broad range of categories and sub-categories, Check. Well, it all looked ok at this point, but now we wanted to see if this directory had a unique selling point. Guess what? We found not only 1 but at least 3 unique things that jtrotta.com web Directory has that we have not seen in other directories.
Well the first thing that was a pleasant surprise was that there were not adverts plastered all over the site. Yes, not 1 advert was to be found on any page of the whole site to distract you from browsing the directory. The next thing was that there was not a whole bunch of links in the footer of every page. At this point, we thought wow! these guys have got it right! they are interested in looking out for the web surfer who just wants to browse and maybe find an interesting site or 2.
Now, the biggie - While we appreciate that in order for a site like this to survive, that they would need to charge for listings. They have what we consider to be a fairly unique approach for their listings. Firstly, they have a tiered pricing for listings - so the deeper the link from the homepage, the cheaper it is for a listing. The most interesting one is the payment model - you submit your site for free, and only whne your site has been reviewed and your listing approved do you pay. You actually get to see your site listing in the directory before you pay, and if you are not completely satisifed with where it is, or what the listing looks like, you can choose not to pay and your listing will expire.
Do you run a lot of websites and want to include them all in this directory? well, if you do, they even have a free submission service. You just need to tell them your site URL, main keyword and they will even write a description and put your site into the most appropriate category. Not a bad value added service wouldn’t you say.
The biggest categories in this directory are the Sports sites, travel sites and Arts and Entertainment.
