Site Review: Jasmine Business Web Directory

Web directory review

Jasmine Web Directory is an online business web directory where you can get your online business listed after being reviewed by editors. Jasmine does not just accept any website; sites submitted must be high quality. Sites with spam, grammatical problems, or that are poor quality are rejected, meaning that web surfers don't have to wade through a pile of spammy sites to find your business.

There are benefits to having a business listing in directories like Jasmine. Search engines rank websites by relevant links; the more quality links to your site, the more likely a search engine is to find your site. Google is in the process of weeding out low quality sites; therefore, having your business listed on a high quality site like Jasmine becomes more and more important to improve visibility. Many sites are set up so that search engines cannot use their links to find your site; however, Jasmine is 100% SEO friendly.

Jasmine is w3 css friendly, which allows you to make your listing as user friendly as possible. That means that it can be presented in different styles so that your readers can see the site the way they want to. The directory is also html friendly and can post your thumbnail to the site so that people can see a small snapshot of your screen. You can also post five deep URL's -- that means that if you want to highlight different products or services or direct people to a popular page, you can.

Jasmine's business directories are organized into several different categories -- Arts & Humanities, Business & Offline Marketing, Computers & Technology, Health & Fitness, Home & Garden, Internet & Online Marketing, Kids & Teens, News & Politics, People & Society, Recreation & Sports, Regions & Travel, Science & Reference, and Shopping & e-commerce. Each section, such as Internet & Online Marketing, has practical tips for users to get the most out of their experience. There are further subcategories -- for instance, in the Internet & Online Marketing category, there are the following subcategories: Auctions, Blogs, Discussion Boards, e-Commerce, Forums, Internet Marketing, Online Advertising, Online Payments, Online Security, Personal Webpages, Search Engines, SEO, Spam Block, Web Design Services, Web Directories, and Web Hosting Services. Each of these sections also contains practical advice for both the surfer and the prospective business.

There are two categories. The first is Express Review for a one-time fee of $9. You will only pay once and will get listed forever. The review of your website takes place as a priority and is usually completed in 24 hours. Your listing will appear above all standard listings. You can enter a detailed product package. Standard listings are $5 and are done on a first come first served basis. Listings appear below all express listings in a non-emphasized display manner. Redirects will not be accepted.
