    Default Sample of a great site and how to implement a directory

    As you may know its really important to concentrate and build directories with other services attached to it.

    here is a very good sample of what we are talking about:

    Horses for Sale, Horses for Loan, Equestrian Property, Horse Classifieds

    You'll make more money through several services than just using a turnkey directory. Take a moment to really digest and see what these people are doing service wise. Also note its a niche not a standard/general directory. This is what its all about!!!

    What are your thoughts after you look at it?

    Nice site, alot of things going on there which is a pro and con to me personally. It looks like its not focused even though its all horses, there is just so much navigation to keep track of and get through. But I agree that you definitely need to offer more then just a bare directory and this type of site will open up multiple possible streams of traffic for them with clients looking for different things.

    I agree with Kaos. It's pretty darn busy, but well done nonetheless. If it gets the job done, then I suppose that's what counts.

    That is a brilliant niche directory, I also think that it is running on a custom script. I really got a brilliant idea looking at that site. thanks buddy.

    Maybe it's just me but when I see sites with way too much going on, I get dizzy and leave. I don't know where to start.

    True, that site is busier than a highway at rush hour traffic.

    I have to agree with you. I'm not too sure what's really going on at this site. I followed the link and closed the window right away as I had no interest even trying to navigate that site. I must admit this seems to be a very active and nice looking site but it's just not for me. To be honest when I see a site like this I think omg I'm getting a virus HAHA! Don't click anything

    well i guess if you are not into the topic you will probably think its busy BUT if you are into the topic you will probably think there is a great deal of info on the site and can't wait to dive in.

    That's a pretty good point. I actually looked again after I made my post but with your comment and my second look you’re absolutely correct. If that site was all about a service that I needed I would have a different opinion. Right now everything looks like ads to me considering I know nothing about the buying or selling Horses. This was my third time going to the site today and it has gotten easier to navigate. I found the quick links top UK, US, and also noticed the nice navigation under you banner as well. But I still think it’s too much going on and the typical consumer would be lost. This would reduce your chances of closing a sale dramatically.
