About.com Closed Guide Relocation Directory and Assistance Links

This Page Is A Scout Report Selection
This page was created as clearinghouse for displaced About.com guide sites, their editors, and web users. This page is no longer updated.
About.com was one of the Web’s most unique collections of guide sites, and each site was run by a person. Each person spent countless hours building topical content about subjects they were passionate about. They were what made About.com great.

Linking Articles
Several of the displaced Guides/editors are trying to create new privately owned topical web guides at new locations. Below is a directory to the new URLs and resources to help all former About.com Guides who are trying to start up new topical sites.
This guide is arranged alphabetically into two parts as follows:
Section 1). About.com guide relocation information
Section 2). Services available for displaced About.com guides
If you know of any new topical web guides created by former About.com Guides/editors, please send me the new site’s URL. If you are a former About.com Guide that needs help, let me know. Former About.com Guides may benefit from this free article written especially for you, called Find and Reclaim Links to Your Previous Guide Site
If you are seeking an in-depth link building plan or linking services, have a look at Eric Ward’s services.
