iGuides - Web Directory With A Promising Future

iGuides is a premium general directory, which tries to create a unique comprehensive platform of useful web resources for the net users. It’s worth noticing that the owner of the resource defines his directory as:

The definitive source for a full collection of internet guides and web guides, iGuides.org offers the internet resources essential to a premium paid directory.

The directory clearly includes a number of positive key traits, which should be present in all modern directories. But the first and the most important trait that I have noticed is that all of the submitted websites have their own unique titles, and helpful descriptions.

What I mean is that the editor of the directory takes his time to review each site and writes unique title and description for each site that differs from the information in the meta tags.

In my opinion, this should be done by every directory owner to ensure the quality of his directory and directory’s unique content so the directory would not be banned for the duplicate information.

I also like the design of the directory. It’s very user friendly and it has good navigation system. For example, for the user comfort, sidebar of featured categories contains popular categories so a user would be able to find popular sites quickly. The fonts are the right size, and the colors are not too bright, and yet are used effectively to draw attention.

What I also like about the directory is that the editor submits quality resources there himself for free. In my opinion, everyone should do so, since without it any directory looks kind of dull, and creates a negative and wrong belief that it’s not very popular and thus is not worth submitting into.

iGudes is not only a standard directory, as you might have noticed already. It also offers a good collection of articles and how to guides. Its article directory covers a lot of general topics and is written well by professionals. Its how to guides is basically a collection of tips and tricks on any topic that interests you.
