This information was abstracted from << http://www.answers.com/main/what_content.jsp >> and put into alphabetical order on this website

ANSWER.COM CATEGORIES:

The 18 main categories (listed below) and approximately 292 reference areas of those main categories are used by Answers.com to encompass virtually everything they have on their enormous website which is devoted to answering any question in any field of interest.

Clicking on any of the Main Categories will take you to a list of "reference areas" and "sample topics" for those reference areas. The numbers in the parentheses show the number of reference areas. Each reference area leads to dozens, hundreds or even thousands of topics. For the category "Shopping" -- they have eliminated the title "reference areas" -- but the section works essentially the same way -- it leads you to a list of different product categories.

18 Main Categories from Answers.com -- they lead to about 292 "reference areas"
Arts (34)
Business (20)
Entertainment (8)
Food (10)
Government (8)

Science (24)

Shopping (14)

Zoology (9)

If you assume each reference area leads to 100 topics -- that is a total of almost 30,000 topics. That means, once you are at the URL << http://www.answers.com/main/what_content.jsp >>, if you click through three links >> (1) main categories >> (2) reference areas >> (3) topics] you can be at any one of something like 30,000 pages. And, it is actually much bigger than that -- they have 70,00 family names listed -- a rather comprehensive page for each name.

On the URL referenced immediately above, each main area shows sample reference areas. This is a good indication of what the reference areas are like.

At <<http://www.answers.com/main/about_answers.jsp>> the site says "Answers.com is your free "one-stop shop" with instant information on over 4 million topics. " A great resource -- and it is free.
