Press Release Summary: Online directories are quickly becoming a popular resource
for discerning internet browsers as a means of obtaining a personal endorsement or
review, in favour of traditional search engines, according to a recently released
survey conducted by mybusinessdirectory1.com

Press Release Body: Los Angeles, CA ( ExpressPressRelease ) -- Online directory
websites are quickly becoming a more popular way for browsers to find what they\'re
looking for online, according to a recent survey released by business directory
mybusinessdirectory1.com. With search engines previously occupying the bulk of
browsers queries, online directories are now seeing an up surge in traffic through
recommendations and reviews of website services, which are designed to route out
scams and provide sensible, accurate recommendations to the browser.

With the growth of the internet over the last decade or so it has been search
engines that have pushed much of the traffic online, with directories firmly in
second place. However it now appears that internet browsers are becoming
increasingly trusting of directories for their search queries, particularly those
that are socially motivated or have reviews and roundups of the products and
services on offer, as a means of reassuring browsers of a website\'s legitimacy.

Michael DeLion of My Education
Directory suggests that the results are understandable, with more and more
internet users looking for someone else\'s opinion on a service or website before
wasting their own time as a result of countless disappointment and the sheer volume
of scams and online cons on the internet today.

\"The Internet is a busy place, and there\'s lots to get through. The fact of the
matter is that a simple search query often won\'t help the browser understand
anything about the website. People want to know if a website owner is respectable
and the services they provide are worthwhile - after all, just because a site ranks
well doesn\'t make it legitimate.

\"The average browser now has a better understanding that anyone can buy top rankings
with an SEO professional, so that is no longer a gauge of trust. Moreover with
growing reports of scams and cons online, it\'s no wonder we\'re starting more and
more to respect the views and opinions of previous service users.\"

Over the last few years the internet has taken on a more social perspective,
inviting the opinions and the views of the average Joe to come through online in
place of traditional media. As a result browsers are starting to demand a review or
selection process before choosing to click on a particular website, which most
search engines simply cannot provide.

With directories becoming more advanced and socially orientated, the requirement for
hand-picked, quality websites is becoming filled by the traditionally secondary
source, the online directory.
