Editor Program Information
FloridaSMART is among the leaders in the next
generation of searching the web. We are a human-edited directory that
strives to make it easier to find what you are seeking on the ever-expanding
Internet. By keeping our directory human-edited, we are able to maintain
better quality of links and information. Because we are human-edited, we need editors to help maintain the
links.
We are looking for people who are
interested in sharing their knowledge and helping to build the most
comprehensive Florida Directory on the Internet.
If you are interested in joining with an
exciting Florida company and becoming part of our fun team, consider
adopting a page or section of FloridaSmart and join our team
today!
No web design experience is required, just a desire to
surf and research your topic on the web!
FloridaSMART is geared toward providing quality information for each topic. All topics will have specific sub-categories, however,
editors have the freedom to add appropriate sub-categories, add their own approved
articles, project pages, activity pages, and basically add their own personal touch to
their directory! We want you to have fun with it! That's why we
give each of our Editors their own web page to add additional topic
information, projects, articles, etc.
What's Required?
- A knowledge of searching and researching
on the web.
- A knowledge of how to determine a bad link
or a link that has changed it's
URL (the location of the website, i.e. http://www.thesitename.com).
- Good written communication skills to describe the
links you are recommending.
- A commitment and dedication to helping to build the best
Florida directory on the internet!
How do I edit a directory?
- Check the links at least once a month to weed out bad links and sites
that have changed URLs.
- Add brief descriptions to each link to help
our visitors know more about it. (FloridaSMART holds the non-exclusive rights to publish
and modify your descriptions of
the web pages you are reviewing)
- Search for new links each month to be added to the
directory. Remember, quality links are what keep visitors coming back.
- Keep your directory easy to navigate, suggest new
sub-categories as necessary.
- Send updates to your Content
Manager to report bad links, links to be added into the various sub-categories, additional sub-category
information, etc.
What's in it for me?
- The opportunity to be a part of a fast
growing and exciting Florida Directory.
- Work experience for future job
opportunities.
- Recognition as a FloridaSMART Adopt-a-page
Editor with a banner to display
it on your own site.
- Recognition on the pages of FloridaSMART
that you Adopt. You choose the type of recognition that will be displayed on the
pages you manage: picture, name, degree, occupation, business, etc. This
information will appear at the bottom of the pages between the listings
and the footer. (only upon request)
- A link to your homepage (Great way to
build recognition and traffic to your site.) Please note, you cannot link to a page that directly competes with the directory you
manage. (only upon request)
- The opportunity to earn income doing
something you enjoy, right from your own home. (Please note that
Adopting a page is a voluntary opportunity and no income is guaranteed.)
Top Editors may receive a bonus at the end of each quarter
based on advertising that appears on their pages.
Additional Benefits for
Schools, Teachers and Classes:
- Free web page/s to display your project or
any additional information on the subject that your class could not
locate on the internet. (For example: if you students find information
about a specific Florida Flower in a book that could not be found
online, this is a great way to add to the list of links for Florida
Flowers by adding your own page of research!) This page can also be used
to add an article, classroom activity ideas related to the subject, etc.
In short, this page is where you can expand your topic to help others
find the information online.
- A certificate at the end of your research
period distributed to each student who participated, teachers who
participated and the school who supported participation.
- Prizes will be awarded at the end of each
school year to the classes who showed the greatest commitment.
