Explain this Directory
The Community and Services Directory is a place
where you can list your site. Of course, your site must offer
a valuable service in some way to the community.
What makes this
directory so useful
Searchable Resource
Our users don't need to wade through dozens of
other people's links just to get to yours. The sites listed in
our directory are completely searchable. This includes your
sites title, description, and url.
Who decides the order
the sites are listed in?
You do!
The Community and Services Directory has in place
a totally unique algorithm that determines the order in which our
sites are listed. The algorithm gives priority to those sites
which are most similar to Job Search Express, and most useful to our
users. It makes sense that our uses want to see your site high
up in the list if it's useful to them.
The way it works is like this. We track the
searchers our users perform, and the sites which they click through
to. We also record the amount of traffic we receive from your
site. All these figures are calculated together to determine
how relevant your site is considered to our users.
So how do you get your site onto our first page?
Simple. The secret is traffic. Place a link to Job
Search Express prominently on your site. If we receive a
significant traffic flow from your site, we'll assume your users are
interested in the sorts of things our site has to offer. This
moves your site up the list. As your site moves higher up in
our directory, it's more likely to be clicked on. Once again,
we determine that your site must be more relevant to our users, so
it has a doubling effect.
The algorithm is completely automated, and
statistically based. Our editors play no part in determining
the order in which sites are listed in our directory.
In effect, you're completely in control of how
high up in our directory your site is listed. Now that you
won't find anywhere else!
Site Administration
The Community and Services Directory is fully
automated. You can update the directory stats, or your site
details in the sections below.
Where do I link to?
In order to have any respectable position at all
in The Community and Services Directory, you'll need to provide a
link prominently on your site.
Remember, the more prominent the link is on your
site, the higher up you're likely to appear in our directory.
- Title: Job Search Express
URL: http://jobsearchexpress.com
Description:
Your job search center. Free job search engine, job listings,
employment, resume, careers services, and job search forum. Find a
job in 15 seconds!
Do you need the actual HTML code?
Why is my site listed
without a link?
This means your site has "lapsed". The
traffic flows from and to your site seemed to have stopped, and so
the listing of your site has been placed into "stasis".
This probably means that the link on your site to
Job Search Express no longer exists, or is too obscure. Try
making the link more prominent. That's the best way to get
listed higher in our directory.
You can activate your link again in our directory
simply by clicking on the link on your site to Job Search Express.
Why is my site buried
several pages down
So, you're listed in The Community and Services
Directory but you're not on page 1 as you expected?
Remember, YOU have the power to determine how
high up in the directory you're listed. Make your link to Job
Search Express more prominent, larger, or towards the top of the
page. That way, our relevancy algorithm will view your site as
more relevant, and you'll steadily move up in the directory.
Now, any changes you make will take time to be
reflected. So if you're new to the directory, or you've just
changed the link back on your site, check back in a couple of weeks
to see how well all of your good work has paid off.
How can people find my site?
There are three ways people can find you.
If you're a recent site, you can be found on the
What's New page.
Secondly, people can find you by searching.
If the term they're searching for exists in your site's title,
description, or URL, your site will be listed.
Thirdly, in the
List All Sites section.
How do I update my stats?
Have you recently changed your link to Job Search
Express, or you're new to The Community and Services Directory?

How do I delete my site?

How do I change the details
