Frequently Asked
Questions
When will the first directory be available for
search and taking listings?
|
Which directories will be going
online first?
- Our plans are to launch GiftDirectory.com first, followed by
ShoppingDirectory.com, StoreDirectory.com,
TechnologyDirectory.com, SoftwareDirectory.com, BusinessDirectory.com, MedicalDirectory.com,
IndustryDirectory.com
|
How much traffic do you receive?
- We are not online so we are not
collecting traffic data However, we receive a steady stream
of inquiries and type-in traffic..
|
Will you guarantee results?
- We are not aware of any directory that
guarantees results, however, our listings are priced low
enough to assure a return on your advertising
dollars. We believe within 3
years your listing will be worth much more than you are
paying.
|
Will I be able to create the
wording of my advertisement ?
- Yes, with certain limitations, such as
normal
capitalization and punctuation, no profanity, obscenity or
other objectionable content. We will offer guidelines but ad
language will be your decision.
|
Will I be able to create my own advertisement
format?
- No. For ease of scanning and to maintain a
professional appearance ad formats will be standardized.
|
| Will I be able to update my ad?
|
Do you offer free links or reciprocal
links?
- No. Reciprocal links are slowly becoming a
form of search engine spam and will eventually be demoted
in importance. In the vast majority of cases reciprocal
links are irrelevant to the Website visitor. We don't offer
our services for free because people and businesses, such
as our employees, our mortgage company, the electric and
phone companies, all expect us to pay them.
|
If I get listed in DMOZ does that mean I'll be
automatically be listed in your directory?
- No. After our initial build we do not plan
to update from DMOZ.
|
If you are starting off with DMOZ contents how
will you be better?
- Our ads will be more detailed, more
business oriented, and you will control the contents of your
ad.
|
How do you plan to compete with the search
engines?
- Our plan is to be "the other search
tool", not in competition with the search engines but
as a second tool that should be checked to verify your
search engine results.
|
| Isn't a search engine better than a directory?
|
We received a bill from your
company. Why?
- You did not receive a bill from us. We
are not sending bills to anyone at this time.
- If you
received a bill the purports to be from DirectoryCompany.com
or one of its associated Web directories DON'T PAY IT. It's
not from us. Send us a copy of the bill to P.O. Box 99,
Mullica Hill, NJ 08062 so we can track down the fraud.
Include your email address so we can respond.
- Better yet, if you think you have been billed by us carefully check the bill
right now and you likely will
find the bill, in fact, is not from us. Although we are
building BusinessDirectory.com you should know that there
are literally 1000s of business directories.
-
When we do go online billing will be handled online by
credit card payment. If you believe you have a bill from us
on your credit card - you don't. You would have to use our
system and our system is not operational. So, double check
your bill.
|
We received a call from your
company. Why?
- We are NOT calling anyone. We will
not rely on direct telephone marketing. No one is currently
authorized to do any marketing on our behalf. People
sometimes hear the name of a directory and make the
connection in their mind to us. However, there are 100s of
business directories in this world. There is only one
BusinessDirectory.com and we are not soliciting business
through direct marketing at this time.
|
There's a problem with my
listing. How do I fix it?
- Again, we are not online so there are no
listings. We don't offer a PRINT DIRECTORY at this time, so
if the problem you are having relates to a print directory
you are confused and need to double check your information.
