New Directory Beta Launches

Another directory? So what? The net is flooded with them.

Yes, that's true. However very, very few look after both the needs of the user, webmaster and the needs of the search engines.

That's where Rubberstamped comes in. We're building a credible directory that categorizes sites based on human review. The webmaster gains a credible listing and doesn't have to wait weeks or months for approval, like they do in many free-to-list directories. The major search engines can crawl and use our data. The users get unique, fresh content with emphasis placed on the user experience.

We realize that time is valuable, so we won't waste yours. We offer a two day turnaround on Add URL requests. Often a lot quicker :)

Let's face it - we're not competing with the major search engines. End users aren't going to switch to general directories en-masse to do their searching - that's what Google, Yahoo, MSN and the other major engines are for. Instead, we're building a credible, third-party link citation service for search engines, and other machine based retrieval systems, to utilize. We're building a directory based on usability principles to better serve the end user. We're doing our bit for the semantic web. We're identifying hubs and authorities within web communities using our own mix of machine and human selection methodology. All sites are reviewed by humans, the link describes *exactly* what a user can do on the target site, and the site has been verified as being intended for end users.

We're going to be advertising heavily in the new year. We're going to build the best service of its' kind.

Stay tuned...
