Web Directory vs Search Engine

A web directory is a directory on the
World Wide Web.It specializes in
linking to other web sites and
categorizing those links.A web
directory is not a search engine,
and does not display lists of web
pages based on keywords, instead
it lists web sites by category and
subcategory. The categorization is
usually based on the whole web site,
rather than one page or a set of
keywords, and sites are often
limited to inclusion in only one
or two categories. Web directories
often allow site owners to directly
submit their site for inclusion, and
have editors review submissions for
fitness.
