About

ZIPmouse LLC was founded in 2001.

ZIPmouse.com is an Internet taxonomy designed to help users find websites quickly and easily. ZIPmouse also simplifies the process of online advertising for companies interested in driving traffic to their websites. The unique, patent-pending ZIPmouse interface is extremely easy to use and is built on a solid, logical structure that allows users to quickly locate information within the ZIPmouse taxonomy.

ZIPmouse is not a search engine. By providing a superior user experience, ZIPmouse will succeed where search engines have fallen short. The ZIPmouse taxonomy is organized into layers of logical categories that users can quickly navigate with just a few clicks of their mouse. The uncluttered and intuitive interface is maintained through every level of the ZIPmouse taxonomy structure – providing consistency and familiarity to users. ZIPmouse is fundamentally different from existing online directories. Most directories have a flexible category system that adapts to the information indexed. Ultimately, this method of organization becomes disorganized as it succumbs to the individual demands of an enormous number of websites. The ZIPmouse system follows a rigid set of rules and organization methods that stay fixed, regardless of the information it indexes.

ZIPmouse has taken a fundamentally different approach. With ZIPmouse, the service and advertising are indistinguishable from each other. ZIPmouse has combined Internet advertising with an interface so intuitive that 77% of users tested prefer finding information on it over search engines.
