Lately, a number of people have contacted us for support with logging in and validation problems.
SubmitterBot is a completely free double opt-in service that requires validation from a person on the other end. With this in mind, I have listed a few tips below that may help your validation concerns.

1. No Spaces in Username – When choosing a username for our quality service, please consider a username that does not require a space. The reason for this is that our database is not set up to handle usernames with spaces for security reasons. If you have already selected a username that has a space in it, any characters that are after the space will automatically be truncated (e.g. the username of john doe will be registered as “john”–without quotes).
2. Check Your E-mail – Upon using SubmitterBot’s registration form, you will automatically be sent a confirmation e-mail at the address that you entered in the E-mail section of the form.
   This e-mail will contain a validation link that, when activated, will automatically validate your SubmitterBot account and allow you to log-in to our quality directory submission service. If you are unable to find this e-mail, I would highly recommend checking your e-mail client’s spam and/or trash folders. Our validation e-mails do contain web content, and may have accidentally ended up in either place.
3. Enable HTML – With the confirmation e-mail mentioned in my previous point, please make sure that you have HTML enabled in your e-mail client. This will allow you to successfully activate the confirmation link to allow you access to our site. If you do not know how to enable HTML, please consult your e-mail client’s help file which can be accessed by pressing F1. If you are using a web-based e-mail account (e.g. Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.), there will be a “Show Images” button located either above/below the headers of the e-mail which will enable the HTML in our confirmation message.

If the above steps still are not successful in validating your account on SubmitterBot,
please contact me via our quick-and-easy contact form, and I will promptly troubleshoot
your account’s validation issue.

Happy Submitting!

There have been a lot of directory submissions that have been sent in as of late, and a small minority of these directories have been good directories, but do not fit SubmitterBot‘s directory submission guidelines (which will now be posted on our directory suggestion form). Prior to submission of your directory to us, please make sure that your directory meets the following three guidelines:

• Is it free? Is your directory a free listing directory, or do you have a free option on your directory’s submission page? SubmitterBot is a completely free service, and to help keep the process of submission free is to include free directories when users are submitting their sites.
• Does it have a submit.php file? For SubmitterBot to fully recognize your directory in our submission list, your directory must have a submit.php file where users can submit their URL, description, e-mail, etc. If you have a CAPTCHA located on your submit.php file, make sure the CAPTCHA’s data information is stored in a captcha.php. If the directory that you are submitting is made by a CMS (e.g. phpLD), you will not have to worry about this, but it is something to good to check!
• No adult-related categories – To keep SubmitterBot B2B and family safe, please make sure that the directory you submit does not have any adult/sex-related categories. This helps keep our quality service clean and safe for everyone.
