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?

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"
How does Excellent Guide benefit both webmasters and web searchers?
Our goal at Excellent Guide is to provide web searchers the opportunity
to find quality, credible websites quickly and easily. Excellent Guide
does all the leg work in finding 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
"Express Web
Usability Review"
or "Professional Credibility Review".

Even if you cancel your subscription, your link will permanently remain

all of your credibility ratings after you decide to cancel. Your
usability score will remain active.

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"
How many articles will my website be listed on and how many will I get? We
have created a simple script that tells us and you how many articles
your site will be listed or cross-promoted on. This page is from
purchasers only. If you request or want to know how many articles your
website will be cross-promoted on, simply give your email.
