Submission Guidelines

When we receive your listing request, our editors will visit your site in order to confirm subject matter and relevance. Our aim is to match the link text with the content and purpose of the site, and to run a clean, ad-free, high quality directory.

In order for your request to progress smoothly, please follow our listing guidelines.

Step One

Please ensure that your site is:

Complete (i.e. not under construction)

We do not accept the following:

Mirror sites. Mirror sites are defined as sites with identical content appearing under separate URL's
Redirects
Hate sites or illegal content.
Sites consisting mostly of affiliate links or banners with little or no unique content intended for an end-user.
Affiliate links directly to a merchant's site. The link must resolve to your site.
Tracking and/or affiliate codes in URLs.
Off-topic listings. The directory editors decision on description, title and link data is final.

Step Two

Search the directory for a category that best fits your site. Compare your site with those already listed. Once you've found an appropriate category, click Add URL. Note: Editors may alter categorization if a site is determined to be better suited to a different category.

Step Three

Fill out the form.

Title and Main Activity

Specify the name of your site and describe what the user can do on your site, or how they benefit from visiting your site:

For example...

Book Buyer International - Buy books, CDs, games and posters.
Legion - Find information about the Roman empire and early European culture.
Gamer Monthly - Play online games and sign up for a gaming news letter.

Our listing policy is flexible, as we asume you know your sites audience better than we do. Try to get an active verb or two in your description. It makes for a livelier directory and attracts users to your site. It is very important that your link text accurately reflects how the end user will interact with your site. Editors may re-word links if they cannot locate the material or services described and their decision is final.

Description

Describe the content of the site. Descriptions should be objective and not promotional, and should reflect the content of your About Us page, or similar.

A complete listing may look something like this:

RubberStamped - Provides A Directory Of Human Reviewed Websites
A web directory featuring human reviewed site listings. Webmasters can list their site for a one time review fee of $39.95 USD subject to approval.

Step 4

Make payment via PayPal. Site and link review costs $39.95. This is a one time fee. Please ensure you have followed the guidelines closely. Refunds are possible if your link isn't accepted so long as we can determine that you have submitted in good faith.

Step 5

Your listing request will be processed within 48 hours (Business Days, Mon-Fri). We will send you an email to confirm. You can also check if your listing is live by searching the directory or checking the new site listings.
