An SSL directory is a listing of websites that are certified and secured with an SSL certificate. In business terms, an SSL directory can be described as the yellow pages of websites and applications that are SSL certified.
With millions of e-commerce websites already in existence and hundreds of new ones coming up, it is really tough to keep track of which websites are legitimate and secure and which are not. SSL certificates help make this differentiation by providing security certification to websites. However not all SSL certificates come with the site seal that identifies a site as being SSL secured.
In such cases, it becomes tough to identify an SSL secured website. To do this, you must then turn to an SSL directory. As stated above, an SSL directory provides a listing of websites that have received SSL certification and are considered to be secure.
An SSL directory gives users ease of access and identification of SSL secured websites. It also provides details about the website – thereby allowing users to verify the identity of the website. Since it is based on the same principle as business yellow pages, an SSL directory follows almost all the rules as yellow pages.
You can get your website listed in an identity site seal directory by getting in touch with the creator of that particular SSL directory. There are various categories within an SSL directory and your website can be listed under one or more than one of these categories depending on the type of website, the SSL certification it has as well as your own business requirements.
Just like business yellow pages, an SSL directory also has free and paid directory listings. The free listings are generally very limited and just give the domain name of the website under the relevant section. Premium and Sponsored SSL listings on the other hand are paid ones that allow the owner of the website to specify the section and style in which he/she would like the website to be listed.
Often sponsored listings would also carry the provision of website advertisements to allow website owners to advertise about their website – a feature that is again drawn from yellow pages sponsored listings.
If you own a single or multiple SSL certified sites, you too should consider getting your site(s) listed in a good SSL Directory. It will not only promote your website(s) in newer markets but also boost the business and revenue being generated.
