Subject Directories: Commercial

Yahoo is an example of a commercial subject directory. Subject directories are collections of Web sites that people have selected and organized.

They have arranged selected Web sites into subject categories and sub-categories.

Sometimes links are annotated so you'll know before clicking on it what a site contains.

Many commercial subject directories, such as Yahoo, also have a search engine function.

  Best for browsing and topics that are broad or general.
  You may have to click through confusing categories and subcategories.
Other commercial subject directories:   the Google Directory, Looksmart.com, and About.com.
