What is communityof.com

A community and business listing for communities around the world without the misleading search results that you get from Search engines like Google, Microsoft and Lycos.

What does communityof.com provide?

Currently, communityof.com provides business listings for a select group of communities with aspirations to many communities. Communities can consist of Cities, Town, Villages and Hamlets to name a few.

Communityof.com does provide a single location for your local community with respect to the community itself, the center information panel, and then business listings on the right and left hand side. Advertising is for local businesses.

Most listings have:

- clickable addresses to Google or Microsoft,
- Click to view their website,
- on a mobile smart phone, you can click to dial the phone number
- you can click the email option to open your email preference, Outlook, Google etc. All depends on your settings.

The inspiration: One day I was searching for a new place to get a pizza. After reading through multiple pages, seeing information that was not relevant (ie. the place was miles away in another town), I decided to start making my own listing.

Visitors are never charged for visiting the website.

 

Benefit:

Safe Business Listing Browsing - the communityof.com format helps remove some anxiety from looking for a link or phone number for a business. How many time have you searched for something, a result looks like what you want, but after clicking on it, you notice it directed you to a spam site or similar ad based website.

Communityof.com does its best to provide a safe surfing visit to the website. The links provided are check and updated when possible.

At times, domain names are dropped by a community or a business and other nefarious sites pick them up. Please email communityof.com if you discover one.

No "Clickbait" images to filter through.

"Clickbait is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow that link and read, view, or listen to the linked piece of online content, being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading." - Wikipedia
