What is DMOZ and the Open Directory Project (ODP)?
GoForIt's directory contains customized ODP data. ODP stands for Open Directory Project, the largest and most comprehensive human-edited directory of the World Wide Web. DMOZ powers the core directory services for the Web's largest and most popular search engines and portals. GoForIt's directory has links to more than 5 million web sites in more than 590,000 categories. The directory was constructed and is constantly maintained by more than 69,000 editors - a vast, global community of volunteers.

Why the focus on privacy and trust?
The security and personal privacy of our online visitors is a top priority. GoForIt is the first company to actually create a "Trust Policy" and publicly post that policy on its Web site. We have established strict privacy policies that demonstrate our commitment to building trust with our online visitors. Not only do we believe it is the right thing to do, we believe it makes good business sense.
