Generally, paid inclusion web directories charge a flat fee. For submitters this can create a feeling of not quite getting your money’s worth. After all, a webmaster who gets his listing 5 clicks away from the homepage has to pay the same price as a webmaster who gets his site listed one click away from the homepage.
Jtrotta.com was created to make the payment process fair. A listing that is more valuable (closer to the homepage) costs more than one that is several clicks away from the
homepage. This allows the editors to place sites in the most appropriate category and webmasters know they’ll pay a fair price.
Another interesting thing about Jtrotta.com is that sites can list subpages. No site has more than one listing in each category, but there are sites that have numerous listings, especially in the sports directory section and the travel directory section.
Also worth noting is that Jtrotta.com was designed to send paying submitters as much traffic and link popularity as possible. While many directories use Adsense or paid search feeds to bring in extra money,
Jtrotta.com doesn’t distract visitors from the sites that paid to submit. Regarding link popularity, most directories sell homepage and/or every page links to bring in more money. However that also
drains link popularity away from the paid listings so Jtrotta.com
links only to sites that paid to submit - there are no sitewide
“featured sponsors”.

Jtrotta.com is also careful to make sure that all categories are
populated with at elast one listing. Go the education category of most
directories and you’ll find numerous obscure categories (probably copied from the DMOZ category structure) completely empty. The education directory in
Jtrotta.com is completely different. There are very few categories and they all have quality listings.
