Submission Guidelines

We care a great deal about the quality of our directory. In order to ensure the smooth running of the BusinessSeek.biz directory, we may have to delete submissions that violate these policies or that we believe otherwise disrupt the operation of the directory.

Please note: Submissions listing keywords are rejected. 99% of all rejections are simply because of keyword listing. Only submissions with quality descriptions will be approved.

Unacceptable Sites & Content

Examples of unacceptable web sites include, but are not limited to:

1. No adult sites or adult related content.
2. No sites under construction.
3. No sites with broken links & missing images.
4. No racism or vulgarity.
5. No illegal sites including copyright infringement, plagiarism, violence, fraud & child pornography.
6. No sites promoting animal cruelty.
7. Do not submit mirror sites with the same or similar content, but different URL's - this will result in the deletion of both sites.
8. Do not submit sub domains (without a very good reason) - use your top-level domain.
9. Do not disguise your web site address - for example:
   www.BusinessSeek.biz & www.BusinessSeek.biz/index.html - this will result in the deletion of both URL's.
10. Only sites with English content will be accepted into the directory.
11. A site submitted to an inappropriate category shall not be added.
12. Affiliate web sites may be submitted to the Small Business category only. You may also suggest a new sub category if necessary.
13. Affiliate programs may be submitted to the directory under Small Business >> Affiliate Programs only. In addition only one listing per affiliate program is accepted. To ensure the program you wish to submit has not been entered into the directory by another affiliate, please use the URL checker below.
14. Sites with a single popup / pop under (not both) may or may not be listed at the sole discretion of BusinessSeek.biz
15. Sites with more than one popup / pop under will not be listed.

Prior Submission Check

Before submitting to the BusinessSeek.biz directory check to see if your site is already listed.

Checking For A Web Site Listing

1. The best way of doing this is to use our URL checking tool in the search engine.
   If you're checking for http://www.BusinessSeek.biz/
   Type the web site domain name into the search box, for example:
   BusinessSeek.biz
   MyWebsite.com

How To Submit

To submit a site to the BusinessSeek.biz directory select the correct category where you would like your site listed. If your category is not listed in the directory select the closest category describing your web site. On the site submission page suggest a new category & subcategory if necessary. Fill in all the required details in the form & click the "Submit" button.

If your site is already listed in the directory, but not in the search engine click here. Please note, the search engine will crawl your web site immediately and requires ALL meta tags (title & description - keywords are optional, but do make a major difference during searches). However, directory submissions do NOT require any meta tags.

Note: Please do NOT email your submissions, as these cannot be added manually due to time constraints. Submitting your listing directly to the correct category is the fastest way to be entered into the directory.

Reasons Why Submissions Are Not Approved

1. The description and or detailed entry consists mainly of keywords. 99% of rejected submissions are because of keyword listing. A carefully written description is of utmost importance.
2. The description should be at least 10 words in length.
3. Only submit top level domains - subdomains are not accepted.
4. Only submit your homepage - do not submit sub-folders.
5. Inappropriate CAPITALIZATI0N of words.
6. Copying & pasting the description into the detailed entry text area. This section is intended to provide further information about the products or services your company offers.
7. Including product pricing and special offers. These are subject to change and are therefore not accepted.
8. Excessive or incorrect punctuation.
9. Exclamation marks in the title.
10. Repeated & excessive use of exclamation marks!
11. These punctuation rules apply to all other punctuation if used inappropriately or incorrectly.
12. Words such as "cool, hottest, best (best in the world), unbeatable, ultimate, top, largest, your only source" & other such terms of similar meaning.
13. Use of pop-up and pop-under's - this will be subject to editor discretion.
14. Excessive opening of new windows when browsing.
15. Submissions via email are not accepted.

The Decision For Inclusion

Ultimately the decision for inclusion or exclusion lies with the submissions editor at BusinessSeek.biz - who has been known to be fair - occasionally! Our aim is to provide our visitors with a resource of useful sites, therefore we do not include such sites that are under construction or of little content value for that reason.

Can I Resubmit My Web Site?

1. In short, Yes.
2. If your new submission meets these guidelines we will by all means reconsider your listing.
3. This does not guarantee inclusion.
4. The good news is that we are fair & will not reject any site unnecessarily.

Note: Submissions with missing data (this can occur when copying & pasting) cannot be edited in the directory as they do not exist. Please ensure your details are 100% correct as omissions cannot be corrected without resubmitting your details over again. This also applies to submissions which do not meet our guidelines above. Once a listing has been approved & is visible in the directory it can be edited at any time.

Submit A Site

Note: These guidelines have be created to help you submit successfully. Notes have been provided on the submission form to further aid in successful submission. BusinessSeek.biz receives many entry requests per day. It is important you put a little thought into your submission. We will match your effort in reviewing your website as you have in creating it.

A quality website requires a quality description. Descriptions are reviewed before a visit is made. This solely determines whether a website review is required.
