What!? Deliguy, you obviously haven't read the about statement on their website:

Centiare is a directory that facilitates search engine optimization (SEO).

I've been waiting for a directory that facilitates SEO.
Quote:
|
It supports advocate points-of-view within protected "user-owned" commercial, non-profit, government, personal, and property Directory listings, and features advanced semantic tagging capabilities to organize, search and report information.
|
...Couldn't have said that more clear or precise myself!
I also was impressed in
this press release where it states that
Quote:
|
"According to Alexa.com, in just the past two weeks, Centiare has overtaken 40,000 different web sites in daily traffic rank. "
|
Now I know that it doesn't state WHAT 40,000 sites have been "overtaken", however I'm sure that with the billions and billions of sites on the 'net, they were probably some pretty good ones.
This article from their Public Relations firm states that Centiare might even "peel away a subset of MySpace users." -- That's pretty big stuff!
But wait, there's more great information in this article:

1. Contributors must first register with a non-throwaway e-mail address, so there is a higher degree of authenticity among users.
|
It sounds like they have some sort of advanced "email authenticity" check in action here...
Quote:
|
2. Contributors are encouraged to take ownership of Directory articles about themselves or their enterprises. They may write as opinionated advocates in the Directory; neutrality is not required. They can sell products, promote videos and upload documents.
|
This is a great idea! Google will definitely rank links from this site with a ton of weight...

3. Because the Semantic Web is installed on Centiare, searches can be performed that wouldn't be possible on Google, MySpace, or Wikipedia.
|
Finally. A search engine that I don't have to go to ALL THREE of those sites for! It's so annoying searching MySpace after I can't find it on Google... How do I get the "Semantic Web"
installed on my website??
I think that about sums it up. Another great idea from the folks that brought you
MyWikiBiz, where their core business model is to charge people for writing Wikipedia articles.
... I just spent way too much time on that.
