Submission Guidelines - The Full List


We are striving to build a quality directory free of spam and poor quality web sites. Submitted links are accepted or rejected at our discretion based upon the quality of the submitted site and your willingness to follow our guidelines. Please read the Submission Guidelines thoroughly before you submit your site. If you believe you have a quality site, we will probably agree with you.

General Rules
  • There is no guarantee that a submission will be accepted. Please follow these guidelines and your site will likely be accepted.
  • If a submission is not accepted, your payment will be refunded.
  • All submissions must be in English. All web sites must be in English or have an easily accessible English version. Some exceptions are made for good quality sites submitted to regional subcategories, provided that they clearly convey what they do through design and images.
  • Do not submit sites containing or promoting pornography, "adults only" themes, illegal content, illegal activity, gambling, fraud, hate, violence, warez, spyware, erectile dysfunction products, male enhancement products, female enhancement products, pharmacies, copyright infringement, intellectual property infringement, spam, junk content or pages made for AdSense.
  • Do no submit mirror sites (duplicate sites with different domain names), pages or URLs that redirect, sites with little or no original content, under construction sites, sites with errors, duplicate content pages, scraper sites, link pages, excessive affiliate links, IP address URLs, sites utilizing pop-ups or pop-unders, sites that look bad, perform poorly or have been heavily penalized or banned by a search engine.
  • Follow the standard rules for titles. Capitalize the first letter of each word in the title. Do not capitalize all the letters. Titles are limited to 40 characters and should contain the name of your business or describe your offering. If you still have some room, one to three keywords can be added to the right. Example: Best Solutions Online Web Directory
  • A description for each submitted page must be included. If the description sounds like hype or an infomercial, is misleading, contains unusual characters, prices, phone numbers, is all upper case or is just a list of keywords, the submission will likely be rejected. Just simply describe what your site offers. Write descriptions using 100 to 500 characters including spaces and punctuation. Capitalize the first letter of each sentence and follow standard sentence construction rules.
  • Please spend the time necessary to find the most appropriate category for your web site.
  • Deep links will likely be accepted, as long as the receiving page meets our guidelines.
  • We reserve the right to modify any submission's title, description or URL or move the submission to an appropriate category in order to fit our guidelines.
  • We reserve the right to reject or remove any web site from our directory for any reason.
  • These guidelines may change without notice at any time.


Automatic Rejection Issues
  • Sites with no content. AdSense ads, eBay listings, images and link pages are not content.
  • Sites with no original content. Content copied from another site is duplicate content and does get penalized by search engines.
  • Misleading descriptions. If your description says your site offers medical advice, but the link leads to a porn site, it is a porn site. If your description says your site is a store, you must have something to sell.
  • Sites requesting USA social security numbers or other highly confidential personal information. Someone has to protect fools from themselves.
  • Under construction, incomplete or non-functioning Web sites.
  • No description with your site or a list of keywords for the description.
  • Empty directories or directories with no categories. Please do not submit a directory until it is has been completed and it has several entries.
