ParenthoodWeb Launches Search Engine and Directory

Posted on September 25, 1998

Parenting Web content publisher ParenthoodWeb has this week launched a new search engine and directory devoted to parenting, pregnancy and family websites. The new site is called The ABC's of Parenting. Thousands of sites and free internet articles are reviewed and ranked according to presentation, content and ease of use.

The site becomes the fourth site in the popular ParenthoodWeb Family of Websites joining the ParentHoodWeb, eSafety.com and RecipeXchange. ABC's of Parenting launches with over 100 detailed categories ranging from general family issues, shopping, fatherhood, college savings, adoption, cooking for the family, genealogy, safety and parenting special needs children.

"We're able to dig much deeper into the web than the general purpose directories and search engines," says Scot Robinson, a principal in the new venture. "While most of our competitors index website homepages and try to encapsulate the review of an entire site in one listing, we include reviews of each aspect of a site and categorize the reviews according to specific content. "A selection of our category Child Abuse Support, for example, will bring up 14 reviews of sites that focus exclusively on this topic as well as segments and articles on larger parenting sites with important content related to child abuse."
