A website that features information regarding other websites on the net that has been gathered and categorized . Similar in concept to a search engine but the sites are hand picked and are not ranked.
is a directory, unlike a search engine with its robots and spiders, is created and maintained by humans. The URL's of sites must be submitted and then reviewers organize each URL into a specific category or categories. Excite, Magellan, and Yahoo (although Yahoo has recently incorporated a search engine) are examples of directories (please see the "Introduction to the Web: Search Tools" handout for more information).
A directory of links to Internet sites. These directories may be searchable. Links to other sites are gathered and sorted by category. Examples of directory sites are About.com and Yahoo.
A database maintained at a Web Site that maintains information on Web Sites and/or Pages. Similar to a Search Engine but may be specific to a market, industry, etc.
Directories are searchable indexes that are organized by subject, by category and by sub-categories and are hierarchical in nature (LookSmart and Yahoo are examples). Directories will not list your URL unless you register it with them through submission and generally they accept only one listing per company (usually your home or main page).
A web page consisting mostly of categorized links to other web pages. World Wide Web directories include, Yahoo, Lycos, and Open Directory.

A directory is a list of websites which are categorised and indexed according to categories or topics. These directories are compiled by human editors who check and approve the listings, in contrast to the pure automated Search Engines where websites are indexed via automatic crawlers and software. Each directory listing contains a short description of its contents. Many directories are free of charge but in others a pay for inclusion programme is offered which helps to speed up the process of getting a website included and categorised. A strong directory listing is very useful in Search Engine Marketing because of the strong backlink value to your website.

a manual way to index sites on the internet. While a search engine indexes the internet with automatic computer programs, a directory is a list of sites laboriously compiled by hand. The main example is www.yahoo.com. Since they are done manually they usually index no more than 1% of the internet. Directories are thus much easier to use than search engines, but they can produce limited results. However, topic-specific directories (like www.bcca.org/~cvoogt) can be quite thorough.

A web site that lists other websites and a brief description of them. Directories are structured by category. Searches of the directory return results based on the summary information contained within the directory as the web sites listed are not spidered. Directories have different criteria for accepting submissions, some require payment or a link back, but others will allow you to submit your website for free.
Such as Yahoo (Websites - not search), Dmoz and GoGuides. Usually submissions are moderated by human editors and used by search engines (especially Google) as secondary/proof results. Google uses Dmoz results to feeds it directory and holds sites with a place in higher esteem.
A website that list other websites in their various categories.
While search engines are automated software programs, directories are created by humans. A directory (such as Yahoo) employs hundreds of reviewers who categorize web pages into specific categories. Unlike a search engine, quality control is paramount, and many sites simply do not 'make the grade.'
A SE with a hierarchical structure. Directories have a tree-like structure with fixed categories, and the user needs to choose the most appropriate one. The first directories relied on human operators to ensure fitness within a category.
A compilation of websites that is categorized and sorted by a topic. Within every directory listing you will find an informative description of each site. When a site is listed on a popular directory, the site's link popularity will increase. There are two different types of directories, (1) organic and (2) spider built directories. In an organic listing the directories are put together by people who accept or deny the site that has requested placement in the directory. In a spider built directory, a spider (also known as a crawler) follows a URL's hyperlinks to certain web pages and puts the relevant hyperlinks into its directory.
A human-edited or software-generated list of Web sites, arranged by topic.
Human editors groups websites into categories and provide site descriptions or edit descriptions that are submitted to them. With a directory, picking the right category and composing a description rich in key phrases will ensure maximum visibility. A goof example of this is the ODP - Open Directory Project

The data store used by Cisco Unity, which contains information about subscribers, distribution lists, and locations. Cisco Unity stores data in either the Exchange 5.5 directory or Active Directory. During setup, you specify one Exchange server (the partner Exchange server) through which Cisco Unity communicates with other Exchange servers in the network. If the partner server is Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003, Cisco Unity uses Active Directory. If the partner server is Exchange 5.5, Cisco Unity uses the Exchange 5.5 directory. If your network consists of Exchange 5.5 and either Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 servers, the partner Exchange server must be Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003, which means that Cisco Unity stores data in Active Directory. Almost all of the information about subscriber accounts and other Cisco Unity objects is stored in a SQL database on the Cisco Unity server, rather than in the directory. However, a minimal amount of information about subscribers, distribution lists, and locations is also still stored in the directory, primarily to support Unified Messaging and networking.
This is a website list whose entries are compiled by and reviewed by human editors. Usually directories are organized by subject category. The DMOZ Open Directory Project is the largest human-edited directory on the web.

The most popular directories are dmoz and Yahoo. A human directory editor will visit your site, review it and add it to the directory. Directories store a short description (20 words) of your site. Surfers can navigate the directory categories to find sites. Surfers can also enter search phrases to find sites.

Users can navigate through the categories to locate information. Most directories offer searching options too.
A type of search engine that employs human editors to review and select the sites that are returned in search listings for popular queries. Many search engines (such as Yahoo!) use human editors to handpick results for popular queries and Google's automated selection results to fill in as results for less popular queries.

Unlike spidering search engines (like Google), many directories are compiled by human editors who approve listings. The human-involved process obtaining directories listings is far different than with obtaining listings in spider-built search indexes or paid search-advertising engines. In some cases, pay for inclusion is offered for expedited listings in directories such as Yahoo! And LookSmart. The Open Directory Project, on the other hand, is meant to always be free.
