Criteria For Site Inclusion In Our Search Engines

Website and content quality are subjective things. We appreciate that web site owners might want to be included in our specialty search engines because inclusion should mean an increase in traffic to the site. We understand that, so here are the criteria we are using as of Nov. 2009. Please note that our decisions are final, and we cannot enter into discussion with you if you ask us to include your site. We're just a couple of regular guys who have lots to do.

Firm Criteria

The site:

1. should contain multiple articles or pieces of useful valuable content, and not just one or two articles.
2. content should be original (i.e. not freely reprinted articles from article directories)
3. site should balance advertisement type material (i.e. promoting the business) with free information.
4. content should be available free of charge
5. content should be available without a need for user registration
6. no popups or popunders
7. site should be reasonably easy to navigate and read

Preferences

We have some preferences also:

• we will tend to want to index sites that don't necessarily appear at the top of the universal search results, to allow lesser known sites with excellent content, an opportunity to increase their traffic

The How

We will provide appropriate email addresses shortly to which you can send your favorite and high quality websites on specific topics. Please stay tuned.
