Web/Niche Directory Submission Guidelines

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.
