The Earthgrid Directory Project is a directory of resources. Unlike other directories which impose restrictions or limitations, a site or web page in the Earthgrid may appear in multiple categories. In other directories you are forced into a narrow category and your site can only appear once in that category. Earthgrid believes that people and websites are multi-faceted.
In the world of search engines, to obtain a 'page rank' you have to choose a keyword or keywords once and target all of your energy and focus and language for that one 'key phrase' only. Still it will take you months or even years to establish yourself as a market leader in only one phrase. If you want other phrases you have to repeat the same process over again, each time. In addition, search engines are doing everything in their power to block the techniques that experienced professionals have been using to position their clients in the 'top 10'. In other words, the smartest people-organizers and marketers can no longer assist their clients in obtaining 'traffic'. They have been replaced by the all-knowing electronic minds of the search engines.
In Earthgrid however, you can be a leader by leading others. The more people you inspire the faster you become a leader. It has nothing to do with time. It simply has to do with your leadership. And your leadership is demonstrated by how many people you can teach the language of Earthgrid to, not just by simply signing them up, but by mentoring them in the tools that are available in their level of mastery. As you increase your mentoring skills, you will notice that new options will be revealed to you, when you log into Earthgrid.
