You are absolutely right. There is no way of stopping people from registering in the "wrong" categories. However, very few people actually do that. Still, the NetInsert directory, does require some monitoring by humans. Based on our experience so far about 99% of all submissions are relevant and accurate. Only a few times have we deleted a page from the directory. Only one time did we have to block a page (a deleted page may be readded instantly, a blocked page can not be added to the directory again). This proves our hypothesis that the best editor of a web page is the web page owner himself, simply because he or she has the best understanding of what the web page is all about. In a comparison to ODP the NetInsert directory would thus require 99% less editors to manage. In addition NetInsert offers instant submission in a category and geographical area of your own choice, using your own words for the title, a description, and keywords. NetInsert also continuously polls all pages in the directory to keep it updated and accurate. Broken links are guaranteed to be removed within 4 polling cycles (one polling cycle is currently 4 days). We believe that NetInsert is the first 2nd generation web directory, or a "web directory engine" as we would like to put it. We can run it very cost efficiently, while still offering a premier directory service. Regarding traffic, NetInsert is still in a build up phase, and we can not offer the kind of traffic you would expect from Google or ODP. However, registering with NetInsert may still prove to be a valid investment if the general idea behind the directory is embraced by a larger audience in the future. |

i think this format has a chance to work. as we know from these forums nobody can police the directories for spamming as well as the webmasters and seo people using them. i suggest a solid and evolving method to report spammers and sites that try to take advantage of the directory. |

I went ahead and added a site to the directory...It is not that much work and I feel it could really pay off if people start to hear about NetInsert.com, plus I am the only site listed in my category  |

Okay, I thought I'd give it a test run and so I typed in "restaurant" as a search (one of my clients is a major restaurant chain). No results. Tried to browse through the directory - Business -> Food & Beverage. Okay, I have my directory I want to submit the site to. Read at the bottom of the page, to submit a URL just type into the box at the top of the page and click "Insert". Problem: There is no field or Insert button. I figure I have to drill down maybe, but the only categories are Beverages, Manufacturing and Catering. So I click Beverages just to see .. and presto, there's an Insert field. Now what am I supposed to do? The top-level restaurants category doesn't allow you to submit a URL to it, and the sub-level cat's are innappropriate ... ? |

kevsh, try emailing them. They are very responsive to questions like yours. Don't you wish it was the same with some of those OTHER directories?  On this page it states, "If the above case studies does not provide any guidance for selecting a directory and category for your web page, you are welcome to email information about the page to NetInsert, and we will try to assist you in indexing the web page." |

The other day I added my site. I went back yesterday to see if I had been indexed. I accidently typed in InsertNet.com instead of NetInsert.com, MAN was I suprised! Bob |

Is there a reason for that domain? I got a bit of a laugh out of it though  |
