What is the difference between commercial and non-commercial websites?
We have an entire project on this in my economics class and I just want a definite answer; I'm a little cloudy on what seperates the two. Could you possibly provide examples?

I saw that on a website, it wasn't very helpful. I just want a basic, two sentence answer.

A commercial site is out there to make money. A non-commercial site isn't there to make money.
Commercial Law is what this is about. Offer and Acceptance this Marriage was just placed into commercial law when the offer was made and you said yes. Then you obtain a marriage license placing this more into commercial law. Then when things go wrong and it will you will want a divorce in a few years just trust me it will happen you will file with the court and your case will then be booked under family law court and then custody if you have had kids will become an issue. Save yourself the trouble keep a file handy and keep all your information about your marriage and give me a call when that time comes. This is a commercial law issue and if you file your docs right you can have everything you want without a fight.
1. Content - it has been said many times but well written content and plenty of it is very important. (a) Commercial websites: with good content often have to take a more active approach in submitting their website to directories and search engines to obtain inbound links. (b) Non-commercial websites: with good content may attract many "natural links" (websites that link to yours without a request) 2. Age - we believe that the age of a website is important. (a) Commercial websites: with good content and age will have only succeeded if they have been actively marketed over the years e.g. submissions to directories and other search engines. So having a commercial website that has been around for years is no guarantee that it will come up highly in results.
(b) Non-commercial websites: that have good content will have probably picked up many "natural" links over the years. 3. DMOZ – Commercial and Non-commercial websites that have been in this directory for sometime perform better in search engine results. Why, because the DMOZ directory data is freely distributable and many sites have sprung up over the years cloning part or all of DMOZ. The number of sites using DMOZ data seems to be reducing, therefore if you were in DMOZ at the early stages you are more likely to have many links to your website from many different domain names (with no reciprocal links back). A DMOZ listing is still important, but probably not as important as it was years ago when there were fewer directories. Google is still updating its directory with DMOZ data though probably not as frequently as it used to do.
4. Reciprocal links – are becoming less and less important. One-way links have always been important. Google appears to be putting paid to all those sites that have tried to abuse the system of link swapping. Going back to point 3 and the DMOZ one-way links seems to prove this point. 5. Forget optimisation trends – the main things to concentrate on are: good content, page titles, h1 and h2 tags, hyperlinks that search engines can follow (no Flash or JavaScript menu systems) and quick loading pages. 6. Aim to get listed - in well-rated directories and under the right category that require no reciprocal link. Free commercial directories (that are themselves well rated) and require no reciprocal links seem to be diminishing daily with many only accepting paid entry for commercial sites. 7. Instant results – if you have a new commercial website and you want rapid results, you will have to pay for search engine sponsored links e.g. Google adwords, Overture (Yahoo) listings. 8. Paying but nothing else – if you have a commercial website and pay for results there must also be a long-term marketing strategy (getting listed elsewhere). If you do not take a two-pronged approach then you are likely to be paying for results forever.
