Web Directory:
In today’s world when the word Computer is a household word; not to know of world wide web, www, or web technology as such is like being an uneducated.
Strictly speaking, in the modern world ignorance is no bliss. But human being has a limitation of preserving knowledge and remembering dates and statistics and other details – therefore for the new generation man Web is the answer.
Touches All aspects of Life:
Now coming to Web Directory, therefore, one can safely say that it can provide links to various web sites. It’s not a search engine as the word could suggests to many. Rather it can provide links to various other web sites and also segregate the links.
As we know, no stream of human life is now-a-day left untouched by computers and the web technology, therefore the utility of computer is not confined to scientists and technocrats alone. Just at the click of the mouse one is expected to get a host of information handy and hence the new generation man finds web directory useful both for information and entertainment.
Again, the web directory helps each individual chose his dose of information according to his appetite. For instance, one can get country specific or region specific information. The web directory that way helps in filtering the ocean of information to the net surfer according to his or her either personal or professional needs.
India specific:
Thus, for instance in India specific queries, you have listings in the name of various states. Most state sites are typically state-government sites ran and feed by government information. One basic criticism is that these sites are too goody goody in content and highlights only on government policies, programmes and tales about the success stories.
Some time these appear cooked up and far from truth. But nevertheless the state level listings are quite handy. These days in the context of regional or sub-regional sites in the came of small towns and ‘kasbas’ have also come up. Besides providing basic information about a little known sleepy township like Silchar in remote Cachar valley of Assam, the site on the township also provides many interesting information about the town, its community and political leaders etc. Such sites do well in terms of inviting good number of hits in the wake of introduction of various interactive programs on the site.
Other India based listings of sites that attract attention include the likes of education, art and culture, film, government, NGO organizations.
Utility for Ultras:
Web directory has proved useful to a host of categories of people from all walks of life – business, scientists, medicos, students, housewives, cops, ganglords, gamblers and insurgent outfits.
In Punjab, during the height of insurgency over a dozen web sites used to be run by the pro-Khalistani groups giving the movement a major publicity across the globe and round the clock.
Similarly, the northeastern insurgent group from Assam United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) if to the outside world was known only for the history of strife, most ardent sympathizers were surprised to read in media that a number of its leaders were living luxurious life abroad and running booming business. Realizing the significance of communication power in this information era, ULFA has only tried to streamline its propaganda machinery. Close on the heels of a severe jolt it suffered after security forces busted ULFA publicity cells at Nalbari and Shillong in October 2000, the militant group revamped the publicity campaign and started web-posting its newsletter ‘FREEDOM’ on the internet.
The worldwide home page created to “unmask the façade” of Indian democracy also dwelt at length on the organization’s aims and outlining the “qualifications” for becoming a member of the outfit. Rebutting the charges that its leaders were leading luxurious life abroad – especially in Bangladesh and parts of Thailand, the website blamed the government of India for making “false” allegations against ULFA vice chairman Pradip Gogoi and general secretary Anup Chetia.
It also charged the Centre with making use of “draconian laws” to crush “revolutionary movement” in Assam and other northeastern states.
Regarding “indiscriminate use of black laws”, the ULFA charges the Indian state machinery with “continuously violating basic fundamental human rights of the people of seven sister region although India is a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations”. The laws mentioned in the site include the National Security Act (NSA) of 1980, the Terrorists and Disruptive Activities Act (TADA) of 1985, the Armed Forces Special Power Act of 1958 (the highly provocative instrument in Manipur) and the Disturbed Areas Act. “These laws continue wit the concurrence of Indian judiciary and the Supreme Court and are means of crushing dissent and struggles,” ULFA had said. In reference to certain reports that Gogoi and Chetia were “residing in five star hotels” and running lucrative business, the ULFA propaganda machine accuses the government of having “surpassed even the ethics of Goebbel’s when both its leaders were “languishing behind bars”.
The timing was around 2000-2001 when Gogoi was imprisoned in Assam while Chetia was undergoing a prison sentence in a Dhaka jail.
Listings:
Thus the importance of Web Directory is understood quite clearly. Next it’s important to note how various web directories have distinct nature of listings. Most of the time, it’s a pure commercial consideration and depends on the price the web site operator coughs up.
Like we have Free Submission - there is no charge for such listings.
There are related links, reciprocal link (considered mainly for mutual interest and propagation).
Under the section for paid submission of links and listings, generally there’s a system of recurring payment – in various instalments while one-time payment system is also encouraged. There’s a system of detailed listings where the bigger versions of the content is made through. Affiliation links is also soon catchingup under which the directory runner can earn his due for referred customers the listed websites.
A typical web directory is not really meant for human being though it seeks to men’s thrist for news and information. In the home page one can see there are various categories and sub-categories under which website listings are there.
Basically the write up or the content should be such that it includes few keywords that highlight the respective category. That means the more the hit a content or an article receives, the purpose of a web directory is served.
Therefore, there is a floodgate of opportunity to make gold if you can run a good web site receiving maximum number of hits for various contents. It’s in this context, we must see the mushrooming number of interactive sites like voting.
The adult sites for fun and frolic is another pointer in case.
Among the general category, matrimonial sites are doing pretty well in the context of web directory functioning. So does home, entertainment, shopping etc.
Yahoo directory is one such important directory, so does few others like Business web directory, market directory and India catalog.
