What is the Directory, and how will it help you and your Networks?

What Is The Directory?
The Directory of Ning Networks is just what the name implies, and a whole lot more. It is a Directory, a List, a Yellow Pages, and the #1 Original Directory of Ning Networks. Additionally, the Directory is quickly becoming the “hot spot” for meeting other Ning Network Creators - - a great place to mingle, exchange ideas, give advice, receive advice, meet like-minded creative colleagues, and make new friends. This is also the best place to meet Third Party Providers for Ning Products.
 

What is The Directory? This Network, a Directory of Social Communities powered by Ning. Each member account represents one Ning Network or Social Community. Profile Pages serve as a Preview to your Social Communities. To create Preview Pages for more than one Ning powered Network, you need to create multiple accounts. However, if it's not necessary for you to have unique Preview Pages, you may add multiple Ning Networks to THE LIST (see below).
 

What is THE LIST? A Categorized List of Social Communities powered by Ning. THE LIST is contained within this Network.  THE LIST enables Network Creators to add multiple Networks under one member account.  Each listing contains: Network Name, Category, short description, and URL. The difference between THE LIST and the Directory is: THE LIST is a categorized list with short descriptions, separate from your Profile Pages.

The Directory will serve as the "Master Directory" or "The List" - - a list of Ning powered Networks (Social Communities), all in one place. A place where our Networks can be found based on searches by Category, other fields and tags. Don't get left out! Add your Network to the Directory and THE LIST. Your inclusions will entitle your Networks, to be included in future searches, by Social Community seekers. Like mentioned above, this Network is already becoming extremely active with Network Creators, and will soon do the same with potential new members for your Networks. It is quickly becoming an excellent hub on the Internet, to get the word out about your Communities!
 

What Will The Directory Do For Me and My Network(s)?
The Directory will help increase exposure to your Networks, for potential new members. The Directory will help raise your Search Engine rankings and optimization. All incoming links you have on the Internet to your web sites, will help increase these numbers. This is a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) fact. Increasing these numbers, means more site visitors to your sites. There is no doubt about that.

What’s that old saying? “Network, network, network.”

Success To-Date:
I am amazed at the emails we're already receiving from Network Creators thanking us for new members, and new colleagues. That was a pleasant surprise! We're practically brand new! It takes time to grow any Network, including the Directory. But WOW, looks like it’s all coming together, already. And according to our daily unique hits, it definitely is. We have twice as many unique hits per day, as members. Part of this success is that we’re already listed and indexed on the major Search Engines, and we’re moving to the top of Ning's Popular Network Pages, fast. Has your Network ever been on Page #1 of Ning's Popular Networks? This Directory will be, if we work together towards that goal. Currently, we are falling between pages #3 and #12, on Ning's Popular Networks! I noticed we have been on pages 3 and 4 in the past few days! WOO-HOO! And, we already have an Alexa Ranking of 652,023, in just 1 week!
 

Come to the Directory often. The #1 Directory of Ning Networks belongs on that 1st page! Let's Go To Page #1 of Ning, Together!
 

Community Seekers will be able to search for Ning Networks based on category, sub-category, real tags, etc... Note: Network Creators (NC's) who are truly white label will not be interested, but 10s of 1000s will be. No one should be left off this list. It's a win-win. The more people who know, the better the directory, the more hits, the higher we will rank, and the easier new members can find us, aside from our real world SEO searches. The end goal, which will be accomplished: the Directory project and Community will increase your Network exposure, and this will help tremendously towards your Networks gaining new members. Finally, you can be found!
 

I would like to personally thank you for being a part of our Team. And, rarely will you see the word "I" on this Network. It's all about "WE".
 

Don’t forget to invite your other Network Creator friends. This is key, to the continued success of the Directory.
 

Let’s Go To The Top, Together!
Best to you all and your continued success,
Jen
Founder/Creator of the Directory of Ning Networks
