GoGuides' domain names were originally owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company under the Go.Com Search Engine. Those domains were purchased by Robert Barger in 2001 and rebuilt as a directory. GoGuides.Org is now a principal directory helping millions of people find information on the web, making it a solid leader in information technology. Individuals and businesses placing sites in the appropriate categories in the GoGuides Directory increase their site traffic. This is because their sites are more likely to be discovered by search engines using crawler-based technology.

The GoGuides Directory also serves millions of searches annually to the public making inclusion in the Directory very beneficial for all website owners.
