Numbers Do Not Win a Battle

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

In The Chronicles of Narnia Oreius said right before he was heading to war: “Numbers do not win a battle.” With this in mind, the amount of submissions do not make a web directory great, but the actual content does, as the saying states “It’s not quantity, but quality.”

Although, I would like to share with you the statistics of how the WebProNews eBusiness Directory has grown from Christmas week (specifically, December 21st) up until today (January 8th, 2009).


DATE # OF LISTINGS
December 21st, 2008 5,720
January 8th, 2009 5,840
Total Added: 120

The table above shows us that 120 submissions were made/added to this quality directory. That may seem like a small number, but as far as directory submissions go, that is a vast amount of businesses and activity from a human-edited standpoint.

It is not too late to include your business’ website in our directory. Submit your site for pending review to be added into our diverse array of categories!

Happy Submitting! :)

A Reflection On The WPN Directory In 2008

Monday, January 5th, 2009

On February 7th of 2008, WebProNews, the internet’s leading source of eBusiness and Search related news topics, decided to launch a human-edited niche directory catered just for eBusiness needs. Upon launch of this directory, we did not know how it would succeed at the end of the year. To date in 2008, the WebProNews eBusiness Directory now houses 5,720+ distinct websites within its listings.

During the course of 2008, various unique subcategories were added to help make the directory more concise and also for convenience in finding exactly what you are looking for. For example, if you were looking for a press release distribution company for your business, you would normally search within the Marketing category and stop there. With the WebProNews eBusiness Directory, we have included various types of subcategories within our niche-targeted categories and, with this premise, included a Public Relations subcategory along with a Press Release Distribution category under it. This is what makes this niche directory so unique.

Remember, if you are proud to be listed within our directory, you may place the icon below on your website. I wish all of you a Happy New Year, and if you have not submitted to our quality directory, feel free to do so on our submit page.
