Yahoo is an example of a commercial subject directory. Subject directories are collections of Websites that people have selected and organized.

They have arranged selected Websites into subject categories and sub-categories. Sometimes links are annotated so you'll know before clicking on a link what a site contains. Many commercial subject directories, such as Yahoo, also have a search engine function. The quality of sites in a subject directory is usually good.

Best for browsing and topics that are broad or general.

You may have to click through categories and subcategories.

Other commercial subject directories: Google Directory, Looksmart.com, About.com
