For this directory to be useful, every site needs to
be appropriately categorized; that way, visitors can
start at the top (Free Submission Directories), work
through the 'paid for' directories, and end up with
the 'referral-only' directories. This should help maximize
benefit to the sites you submit, and minimize both cost
and effort. Each site is examined to see what a 'standard
listing' is - not easy, as the term can mean so many
things. Regardles of how the term may be used elsewhere,
we define a standard listing as "Listing in
the main body of a category" - in other words,
there may be the occasional 'premium listing' above,
but the site is not buried under sponsored, premium,
reciprocal and other listings. The algorithm then
sees in which category the directory will appear, based
on the conditions applied to a standard listing. For
each question, if the answer is 'no', continue to next
question, if yes, click on the arrow to visit the category.

Site Not Eligible | |
| | I'm sorry,
your site is not going to be listed in this directory. 1.
We no longer list sites that request a reciprocal link. 2.
If you ask for any 'personal' details - even just an
email address - then you need to say why; ideally, you
should have a privacy policy, even if it's just a few
lines. 3. Referral directories use javascript
or other forms of indirect link; while there may be
direct referrals from these directories, there is little
or no SEO benefit in being listed in them. From an SEO
point of view, a directory entry is a 'human recommendation';
without a direct link, that counts for nothing. There
may be a few direct referrals, and there is value to
these directories. But not SEO value. | |
