CommuniteeWeb’s valuable directory of locally based websites is searchable by state, city, category, and sub-category. Searches by zip code and county are also planned for future search tool revisions. According to research conducted at the Center for Information and Communication Sciences at Ball State University, no search index of this kind currently exists on the Internet. Research has shown that the major local search engines today catalog only half of the URLs in existence. This would help to explain why just 6.86 percent of global website referrals are through traditional search engines. A poll recently taken by Roper Starch found that 71 percent of all users view their search engine experiences as being very frustrating. 4 CommuniteeWeb gathers URLs in a unique manner that enables CommuniteeWeb to gather and catalog more URLs than any other search engine site. This “ data- mining” method of gathering URLs also enables CommuniteeWeb to screen the con-tents of the websites to avoid any adult- oriented or other objectionable material. The directory offers unique Web marketing opportunities for the future development of business- to- business and business- to- consumer sales.
