Double Click Ad Planner:
This site shows you an ordered list of the different web pages that are used commonly. It just uses numbers to list the site. It does help that everything is in ordered list because it shows you what people go to the most. The user doesn't really need to improve the list because its already well organized. The list is necessary. I like the website.

This site uses an unordered list. It only uses bullet list. It helps to just get the general information out there. Since it's Wikipedia, people can change information and maybe the way it shows the list. You could probably give it titles of the different general information to help you differentiate them. I like this website.
