WHY USE DARTONLINE

WHY USE DARTONLINE?

Goal and Mission

Our Goal
Assist web users in quickly finding the best websites on the Internet. Net-citizens should be able to “DART” around the web efficiently and find the finest information available.

Our Mission
Create and maintain the best human-edited website directory available on the Internet by delivering up highly rated and freshly reviewed websites.

Our Approach & Technology

Freshness
Reviews are conducted from time to time to keep our directory of websites fresh. However, websites can pay a subscription fee to have their sites reviewed quarterly, semi-annually or annually. These reviewed websites will have a higher Page Ranking than non-subscription reviewed sites.

Proprietary Evaluation-Rating Model
Webwaders.com, Inc., owns Dartonline.com. Our staff “wades” through the Internet to find quality websites. Search engines, newspapers, periodicals, online directories and tradeshows are some of the sources we use to discover quality sites. Once the sites are discovered, they are reviewed and critiqued using an evaluation-rating model. Several criteria have been selected and experienced web surfers answer a number of questions for each of these criteria. Our proprietary rating model includes criteria in the following categories:

content

freshness

usability

ease of navigation

design and layout

authority

audience

e-commerce

The questions are rated based upon importance (weighted) and the overall score is displayed to the web user on a scale of 0-5, with 5 being a perfect score. Below are a few of the 30+ questions used in our website analysis process:

CRITERIA	QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT EACH WEBSITE
Ownership	Is the owner of the site immediately identifiable?
Audience	Is the site's intended audience immediately apparent?
Freshness	Does the site contain any dead links?
Usability	Are there any "Help" features or FAQ pages?
Navigation	Is navigation clearly explained or intuitive?
Design	Is the text easy to read? (text color, size)
Ecommerce	Does the site support secure credit card transactions?
The Highest Scored and Most Recently Reviewed websites receive the top positions on Dartonline.com's Page Ranking.

Dartonline Benefits

Save Time
The web continues to grow and change at staggering rates. Automated search engines are challenged to turn up useful results to search queries. The quality and comprehensiveness of commercial directory sites continue to suffer and broken links are a constant battle for webmasters. Our editors can't review all websites but we can find the best sites and rate and organize them to help make the Internet experience more productive and enjoyable. We also provide you with search tools for the site and other useful tools to minimize your searching efforts (see "Online Tools" on homepage).
Subscribe to our FREE Newsletter (Email Alerts) and tell us the categories that are of interest to you.
