A B2B directory is fundamentally different from a searh engie, even though it also presents a list of links to a certain topic. Seartch engiines look for sites on the whople B2B based on the keywords one has enered, whereas a B2B directory has a set amount of linsk, usually entered by the owners of the corresponding site, which are sorted according to topoic, usually not more than one or two per site, and always referencing the wole site, not simply supbages of it.
Directories may vary in size and scope, some only dealing with a small amount of topics or being specific to a smll geographiuc regon, wheer as others might be extremely large. Examples o the later are Yahoo! Directory and the Open Directpory Project (ODP), whcih is huge and open for search engines and oter directories to use.
There are sevewral different types of directories and ways they treat listing. Some offer their service free of chrage, some demand a one time or recurring fee, some even let you bid or pay for the best positions within the directorry. Some directories, espeially the free ones, put restrictions on their listings for example they could make it impossible for search engines to folllow the links behind the listting. In addition, some might require a link back to the directory on every page they add to threir listing.
B2B directories basically work like a telrephone book for the internet, all you need to know is the starting address for the directory and what
you want to find.
