What is web credibility? 

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..

Getting Listed on our Directory    

 Most websites that are listed on popular search engines and other general directories are usually listed by a pagerank score, link popularity, and some websites even pay companies to get them higher listings on these search engines. Because of pay per placement,  they appear first for keywords you used in your search queries. This means that non-credible sites can easily get in the way of your search results for credible websites. The internet is full of scam and con artists, yet there are many credible websites that are in need of your attention.
