Web Directories VS. RSS Site Directories 1 OF 2
If there are Web Directories; there also are RSS Site Directories. Users are often confused as to which service will give what they need. Fact is, although they may seem alike, Web Directories and RSS Sites Directories function differently.
Web Directories provide users with a comprehensive list of websites that can be search depending on categories. Most Web Directories are general in scope, meaning that they cater to most any type of website. Other Web Directories provide lists of websites that fall under a certain category – these types of directories are called niche directories. Niche Directories can provide listings on websites from a certain region or websites in a certain language.
A Web Directory is not a keyword search engine. It looks for websites that correspond to the data that you enter in the search window. Some web directories allow you to customize your search results, by having them arranged chronologically, by relevance, etc. Some people find using web directories more helpful compared to keyword searches especially if they are looking for extensive data on a certain topic that only a website dedicated to it can provide.
RSS is a form of a web feed that provides the latest news about websites and blogs. It is also made to deliver short headlines on the latest news available. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and Rich Site Summary.
