What is
Excellent Guide purpose?
Excellent
Guide's purpose is to help webmasters find more credible
sources easier by scoring websites on a series of questions
that will give websites an overall credibility rating.
Excellent Guide has created a unique scoring system that
lets our staff manually rate websites on credibility. We
based most of our requirements for credibility according to
Studies performed by
Stanford University
which have proven what webmasters look for in credible
websites. Our system also rates all the websites in our
directory on web usability variables as well. Web usability
is about making your website in such a way that your site
users can find what they're looking for quickly and
efficiently. A
usable website can reap huge benefits for
your website and your business.
How do I get listed on Excellent Guide?

on the main header of your website. You can choose the
appropriate submission plan that best suits you. You can
submit your website for as little as $9.99 depending on our
current offers. We strive to get websites listed within 2
business days, but most times are faster. Submitting for the
professional review gets you more exposure.
What is Web Credibility and Web Usability?
In a nutshell, web credibility goes one step beyond web
usability. Anyone can make a website with working links,
fast loading times and an eye-pleasing design, but what web
searchers really want are websites that they trust. When a
web searcher encounters a website that is well designed and
provides relevant information that is useful and on topic,
they still can not determine if that website is a credible
business. We have provided a section in our Article
directory that explains and talks about web credibility and
web usability. Click here to read
"Credibility Articles and
Content"

searchers?

out if these sites are real organizations, and not just fly
by night websites. Excellent Guide is also built to
encourage websites to focus on increasing their credibility
and web usability. In return we will send as much quality
traffic to these sites as possible. We offer two
professional reviews for websites to get listed on our
directory. Websites listed are either listed using the

Even if you cancel your subscription, your link will
permanently remain on Excellent Guide. The only thing that
happens is that you will lose all of your credibility
ratings after you decide to cancel. Your usability score
will remain active.

on the main header of your website. Webmasters can submit
articles totally free. Although this is a free service, we
are looking for quality content that deserves to be read by
a quality audience.
How much traffic does the article directory get?
Our article directory is fairly new. We added it to provide
webmasters free information that can be easily searched, and
to use the directory to cross-promote websites listed in our
directory. To view traffic stats for each category, go to
"Free Articles" on the main menu and once you get on the
article homepage, you should see a link title "Traffic
Statistics"

articles your site will be listed or cross-promoted on. This
page is from purchasers only. If you request or want to know
