Q: What is the goal of Suggestlinks.org?
A: Suggestlinks.org is a human edited web directory that aims to showcase
the most popular websites on the Internet.
Q: What are some unique features of this web directory?
A: Web directories usually rank by traffic, alphabetical order or earlier submissions.
Suggestlinks.org ranks listings by the amount of dollars contributed to the listing.
Q: How is that a different reflection of popularity from other web directories?
A: A web directory usually equate number of clicks to popularity. For example, if more people
click on a listing, that particular listing tends to remain popular in that directory simply
because of its high ranking in the first place. This is hardly an accurate reflection of true
popularity on the Internet.
Theoretically, every website on the Internet
has a chance of becoming the most popular piece of virtual estate in cyber space.
Suggestlinks.org simply attempts to reflect that by ranking websites according to
the dollar amount contributed for that website. A major benefit of such a ranking system is
that suggestlinks.org provides some indication of the quality of traffic from a particular
website. This is the directory where advertisers will come looking for you!
Q: Does that mean an owner of a website with deep pockets can easily dominate a category?
Yes. In reality, owners with deep pockets are in a better position.
It is possible for a website to contribute a million dollars and stay in the No.1 position
for eternity but this is very unlikely.
A more likely scenario would be having a popular blog with a million visits a month
linking to suggestlinks.org.
As a result, the contributions increase steadily over time, keeping it in the No.1 position solidly.
Q: Wouldn't it be better to rank by points?
In the virtual world, it's easier to implement a point system such as voting.
However, votes are but variables in a database. They cost nothing, and therefore also
reflect very little. A visitor who would pay a dollar to support a website says so much more about a website
and the quality of its traffic.
In addition, for suggestlinks.org to achieve its goal, it must have a large enough sample
in its database for the data to mean anything. Therefore, the funds generated can be put to
good use by generating more traffic for the directory, which will attract new listings and
benefit all existing ones.
Q: How does the ranking system work?
All websites need to start somewhere, so we fix a low one-time fee of USD$29.90 for all new listings.
After that, anyone can add to the contribution to increase the ranking of a website.
In the long run, every dollar counts. That's why anyone can contribute starting from USD$1.00
onwards. If two listings have the same amount of contribution, suggestlinks.org will automatically
rank the earlier listing higher. To contribute to an existing listing, click on "[Increase Ranking]"
at the bottom of each listing.
Q: How can a listing encourage its visitors to contribute?
Webmasters can do so by directing traffic to this website using simple text links.
When visitors arrive, suggestlinks.org will promote the listing by displaying a promotional message
across all pages, encouraging a visitor to contribute and increase the ranking of a listing.
The message will be displayed to the visitor for up to 60 days before expiring. To get the HTML code
for the text link of a listing, click on "[Get Code]" beside each listing.
Suggestlinks.org also help by promoting the HTML link for all listings, making it available
publicly for visitors to use the text links and help increase the rankings of your website.
Q: Is deep linking allowed?
Yes, deep linking to specific pages or sub-domains are allowed.
Q: Why are there no featured links?
There isn't a need for featured links in this unique directory.
By default, the listing with the highest contribution stays at the top. Remember that
contributions can be made by anyone. Therefore, chances of a popular website staying
at the top is higher, which is somewhat similar to a featured link.
