Directory : Submission Guidelines
SiteLibrary Web Directory welcomes addition of well-designed
sites with interesting content. Most sites will be gladly approved
as soon as possible, provided they adhere to the following guidelines:
- Family-Safe -
- SiteLibrary strives to maintain content that is safe for viewing by visitors of any age. Therefore any sites that would not usually be considered appropriate for viewers of any age will not be approved for a listing.
- Positive focus -
- No site promoting illegal activity or hate will be allowed.
- Design -
- Websites should be at least somewhat appealing to the eye, easy to navigate, and with text that is easy to read. Really poorly designed sites (think using fonts and colors that no normal human being can read) will not be accepted.
- Main URL to Site -
- The highest level URL possible (e.g. http://www.yoururl.com/) in the site should be the only URL submitted to the topic most suitable. In some cases where some more specific topic exists and the site has a subsection with relevant content that enhances this existing topic, the sub-URL will be allowed a listing, but in most cases we will list only the main URL for the site.
- Completed content -
- We do not accept sites that are "Coming Soon", under heavy construction, etc.
- Website etiquette -
- Sites using an excessive amount of pop-ups or other obtrusions are not allowed.
- Original and authentic -
- No redirects or mirror sites. If you have two sites with duplicate content, please list only the main site. Use your real URL, not another one that points to it. Content copied off of another site will not be tolerated.
- Independent -
- Affiliate-based sites may be listed only if we can basically take out the
affiliate content and still have a good site. Affiliated sites are also fine
provided that all the sites aren't identical. The main site, i.e.
the site that offers the affiliate program, is acceptable, but not
all the independent affiliate sites using the program.
For MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) sites: Listing every site that markets the same thing provides no real value to our visitors, thus will be avoided.We also avoid listing sites promoting pyramid schemes AKA "Get Rich Quick Schemes", or sites focusing on getting others to sign up and not actually selling a product, with hypes such as "Send a SASE to Box 123 [...] to learn how to make thousands of dollars a month!". Such programs are often illegal.
- Specific Types of Sites Not Allowed -
- Certain specific types of sites are not allowed due to legal restrictions or other regulations by agencies with whom we may do business. Please see the Types of Sites Not Allowed list to make sure your site is not one of these types of sites.
- Applicable Fees -
- The review fee for a business site listing is $29.95 USD. This ensures a faster review, and
sites that are approved under this type of review receive top position in the category along with other
benefits that are promotional for the site.
Certain non-commercial sites that are of public benefit may be granted a free listing, subject to editor discretion. Along with the above guidelines, we further reserve the right to decline any request for a free listing for any reasons as we see fit.
- Before Making Your Submission -
- To improve your site's chances of being approved for listing, please check the following:
- Make sure your site meets the above guidelines.
- Make sure it is not on the list of types of sites not allowed.
