Just a year old and having achieved vast accomplishments, we feel that Directory-Owners Forum and Resources site has established itself as the premium web directory owners community portal.
July 15, 2007 (Press Release) --
Directory-Owners.com was originally started as an unbiased forum for directory owners and users to share relevant information on the aspects of operating a web directory or web search engine. Other forums existed then and still do today but they are generalized and have a tendency to focus on "webmaster" topics and lose focus of directories and search engines. These other forums have a tendency to also be isolated to a particular directory script or are perhaps dominated by very biased and bullish members.
Directory-Owners has broken this mold and continues to attract members whom have become upset with the fact that they too want to learn and share even though they may disagree with the crowd. This is what has helped Directory-Owners grow at such a rapid pace. Owner and site admin Tom Cooper said, "Everyday I see posts on other forums and blogs where directory owners ask a simple question and literally get flamed due to the poster not being in the clique or because the poster is not running a certain type or brand of script. It's simply disgusting and childish that people get treated this way."
Directory-Owners is proud of the fact that we welcome all script authors, directory owners, and anyone in general whom wants to learn and share in an adult manner. We don't segregate, isolate or otherwise try to banish anyone from sharing in open dialogue on any topic related to directories and web search engines.
Over the course of the last year Directory-Owners has gone through lots of change which we feel helps to show and share even more relevance to our members. The site has gone from being a simple forum to more of a portal targeted at a very niche audience of directory owners and web search engine industry professionals and beginners.
To this point the site now has many features and tools outside of the forum itself. It is an ongoing development of each of these tools and areas with new ones being added on a regular basis. Of course all of it is completely free of charge.
New features and tools that have shown benefit to the site users include the Directory-Owners Directory (http://www.directory-owners.com/directory.php). This is simply more than a links directory. It allows any directory owner to list their own sites as well as download a CSV list of all listings. The directory includes a Review/Rating option for them to post code on their own site where users can review the directory. Our directory also is tied to our unique one of a kind Directory of the Month contest where anyone can cast a vote and it is strictly controlled and fully automated. Our ongoing Directory Contest give away great prizes such as high end Full versions of directory scripts, cash and lots of recognition. Unlike other contests in the same area...Directory-Owners contest are worth entering as you can actually win something of value that can be used to increase the value of your own site.
Two other very popular areas of the site are the MarketPlace (http://www.directory-owners.com/vbclassified.php) and the Template and Mods area (http://www.directory-owners.com/downloads.php). The marketplace allows for buy/sell/auction functions where the template and mods area is a ever growing gallery and download section for modifications and templates from many sources in one central place.
Recently the site launched an article area located at http://www.directory-owners.com/vbarticles.php where every single directory industry professional interview has been posted. Directory-Owners has one of, if no the biggest interview catalog. It is often imitated and copied as are other areas of the site. Included within the article section of the site are also areas covering SEO, and major search engines. Anyone can submit an article and the submission interface is very intuitive allowing graphics, sound, video and file attachment.
Directory-Owners has grown it's partnership with many industry leaders and professionals. One of the things that we constantly are on the look out for are new and upcoming script authors, and industry entrepreneurs. We like to offer our help in getting them known and to the next level of their expertise within the industry. To us, it's not about making ourselves money, but rather helping the community as a whole where we can all benefit.
Just a year old and having achieved vast accomplishments, we feel that Directory-Owners Forum and Resources site has established itself as the premium directory community portal. It's not about who you are, who you know, how many posts you have, or what your page rank is...it's about sharing, learning and contributing with the community
