What is a Directory Listing?

Directory listing or getting registered on an online Web Directory is not the same thing as getting listed in the search engines.

The key divergence within the search engine and a web directory is that a search engine spiders the Internet to look for new available web pages and then indexes those links according to the relevance it attaches to those links. Whereas in a web directory, you can submit your links manually under a suitable category. Then those links are re-examined by human editors and accepted or rejected according to what they think of your link.

The most easy example for a directory listing is the Joomla Extension Directory (JED) itself. It works on the principles stated above. JED allow you to list all the Open Source products for Joomla.

Benefits of Directory listings.
