Golf Directory Sorts Gems from Garbage: All Listings Human-Checked

With the launch of GolfDash, golfers, golf industry professionals and anyone needing access to golf information has immediate access to over 3600 indexed golf links. www.golfdash.com is designed to avoid the pitfalls commonly associated with internet search engines, mainly irrelevant, outdated and off-topic hits. The site eliminates having to try 50 or 100 web sites to find the right one.

Greenfield, MA (PRWEB) January 19, 2006 -- Tired of searching for quality golf information on the Internet...and being peppered by dead links, "fronts" for eBay or Amazon or some cheesy affiliate program, a gazillion adware pop-ups, or just plain poor quality?

GolfDash.com offers a better alternative: a directory of golf sites that can assure quality results--because every single site has been screened and reviewed by an actual human being who knows golf.

Unlike a search engine, a web directory like GolfDash relies on human intelligence, rather than robot indexing. This creates a higher quality, more focused search results that can't be tricked by spammers and sleazes.

"It's a lot less frustrating for golf pros, serious players, vendors, and amateurs seeking more information," says Douglas Farrick, co-founder of GolfDash, "and that means it's a very useful site for the golf industry, which can reach a highly targeted audience that's still in a good mood. They're much more likely to stay in a buying mindset if they haven't had to wade through all the junk they get from a more traditional search tool."

Every site in the GolfDash database (3600+ sites) has been hand-checked. Sites must have quality original content, must not be a doorway to an auction page, blatant affiliate funnel site, or Amazon/Yahoo store, and be untainted by adware, spyware, and other nasties. And links are checked regularly to ensure that they haven't gone dead.

GolfDash aims to offer a one-stop resource for golfers, golf professionals, and the golf industry, but also to build community. The site not only provides vetted search results, but also a wide range of features, including blogs, forums, personalized desktops, product reviews (including a product recommendation of the day), even a handicap tracking system. The company has also formed partnerships with some of the most important online golf resources, among them amateur tournament locator AmateurGolf.com, Rankmark.com--"the Consumer Reports of Golf"--and news site GolfObserver.com.

"GolfDash saves tremendous time locating quality golf information," says John Diekmann, managing partner and information architect. "We are golfers and we worked long and hard to create the most user-friendly golf directory possible. Whether you're a golfer seeking a great vacation or course operator with a mosquito problem, if it has to do with golf, you'll likely find it at GolfDash."

For golf associations, golf site owners and industry vendors, GolfDash allows your visitors to search its database *directly from your own site.* GolfDash also offers various marketing and advertising programs to drive visitors from GolfDash to your site. Please contact Farrick to learn more.
