Terms for submission
When a page is submitted our spider
visits and collects information from that page. All pages submitted
must be PICS labeled with either ICRA
or SafeSurf,
either individually or at the server level. Pages must also conform
to our Terms of Use.
For help labeling please click
here. Unlabeled pages are not allowed. Once added, continued
placement is dependent on the continued presence of PICS labels.
All too often, labels disappear when web sites are updated. We only
allow labeled pages in our directory and we recheck them often.
Not just a random sampling, ALL of them. We take the labeling
of web content very seriously.
If the individual submitting the
page provides an email address, they will receive a confirmation
from our autoresponder but only if that address originates at the
same domain being submitted. Otherwise, we replace it with webmaster@domain
for our own records and do not send a confirmation. This precaution
is necessary to prevent users from spamming third parties not associated
with domains submitted to our directory.
Description and keywords for your
listings are gathered from meta tags on the page. Keep in mind that
the worst thing you can do with your
keyword and description meta tags is to use the exact same text
for them throughout your entire web site and, next
to being unlabeled, is the quickest way to have pages from your
site excluded from our directory. We need unique content for the
directory to be of value to our users. If no description and keyword
meta tags are found, the first text found in the body of the document
is used instead. The next quickest way
to have your domain barred is to submit pages to every category
in the directory. The maximum is three for any web page
and only if appropriate for the category so please use good judgement.
We would give you some examples of who we've barred for this infraction
but that would require us to give you their domains, possibly rewarding
them with traffic for their bad behavior.
Bottom line: Be responsible. Be
rewarded.
