What is the mission of the web directory?  
    The mission of all of our web directories is to save busy industry professionals time by linking them to  meaningful and useful online resources. Our average user has limited time to spend online and relies on our sites to provide them with a quick guide to what's online.  
What sites are included in the Web Directory?  
    The sites included in the web directory are selected by our editors as useful sites for industry professionals. We do not allow companies to pay to be included in the database. We do accept sponsorships for categories, however even these links are reviewed by our editors for relevancy and usefulness and sponsor links are always clearly marked.  
  What criteria determine whether a site is included in the directory?  
    You will notice that the number of sites in the web directory is limited. After spending an hour browsing from the web directory an executive should have a good sense of the industry resources the Internet has to offer. Our editors scour the web looking for meaningful and useful sites that satisfy the mission of the directory and selected sites are reviewed to determine if they meet the mission. Since our average user is online for a limited number of hours each month, we are careful not to not overload him/her with thousands of pages of links.  
  Is the web directory the same as a search engine like Yahoo or Google?  
    No - we are not running a search engine. Search engines are compiled by automated software programs that attempt to link you with information based on search terms. While they play an important role on the Internet, search engines will return millions and millions of links to sites that may or may not be related to your needs. In addition, the top results that are returned by a search engine are often advertisements disguised as links. Because study after study has proven that users seldom view results past the first 3 - 5 pages returned by a search engine, we have attempted to keep each category in the directory to a limited number of 'useful sites'.  
  When I enter a term into the search box - exactly what am I searching?  
    You are only searching our directory of sites. the number of sites included in the directory is limited by design. Often your search is better performed on a major search engine so if our directory comes up empty you will be given an opportunity to click over to a major search engine.
