Just to be fair to the directories, here is a list of the things that tend turn
off directory editors. If you submit your site for consideration, reading this
list could help improve your chances of having your website listed. |
Directory Owner Pet Peeves
| 1 |
Sites submitted to the wrong category.
Submitters that make no effort to find the most appropriate category. |
| 2 |
Inappropriate sites
Submitting sites even when they don't follow clearly stated submission
rules/policies. |
| 3 |
Bad spelling and grammar
People that submit with little care to their site details. |
| 4 |
Automated submission tools
The majority of directory owners don't like these tools. The categorization doesn't
work well and the sites submitted tend to be poor quality. |
| 5 |
Multiple submissions of the same site
More than one submission from the same site. Multiple sub-domains may fall in this category. |
| 6 |
Poorly written titles
Submitting titles that are all caps, punctuation marks, unnecessary symbols, or
numbers that are not part of the site name. Titles made up entirely of keywords. |
Note: I don't own or work for a directory so this information
comes from what I have heard in forums and read on directory sites. I would also
appreciate comments on the ranking order of the list. |
