 Site
Optimisation Article about Why your Yahoo submission might not
be accepted
1. Your web site uses uncommon plug-ins.
If your web site is password protected or requires some kind of
plug-in, directory editors will probably not list your site at all.
Your site should not contain the latest technology that makes it
potentially inaccessible to even a minority of your users. This
can include excessive use of JavaScript, Java applets, Flash movies,
Shockwave and other web elements that require some form of plug-in
download. You don't know which operating system and browsers the
directory editor will use when looking at your site.
2. Your web site isn't popular.
Some editors look at the Alexa rank first to decide whether it's
worth looking at your site or not (although this doesn't make sense
because either your site has exciting content worth linking to or
not). Directories don't like to add the 536th site about "home
based business opportunities".
Your site must be original and popular. It's a bit like the hen-egg
problem. Your site should be popular but actually, you submit your
site to directories so that it becomes popular. We recommend using
the software program Axandra.com
to get more sites linking to your site.
3. You haven't published your post address.
It really helps if your site has a real address/phone/fax/email
address attached to it. It also helps if you provide a contact name.
Publish your street address and not a postbox address. Directories
don't want to list fly-by-night companies.
4. Watch out for 19 additional mistakes.
We also published an article that describes the 19
common mistakes that prevent your web site from showing
up on search engines. The reasons listed there also apply to your
directory submission.
We also answer the frequently asked question about the best time
to re-submit your web site to directories if you didn't get accepted
in the first place.
If you want to submit your web site to search engines, directories
and even special industry-specific sites, we recommend using the
software program IBP 3
How to resubmit your web site to Internet directories
Have you followed our directory submission tips in the last weeks?
Then it’s very likely that any directory will accept your web
site submission the first time.
In short, make sure you have a professional looking web site with
unique content that is accessible in all popular browsers and that
has been proof-read by others. In addition, you should follow the
directory guidelines very carefully.
If your web site doesn't get listed within 3-4 weeks, just re-submit
it. Keep submitting your web site to the directory every 3-4 weeks
until you get in or get formally rejected.
The main reason your web site gets rejected are time constraints.
Editors of popular directories receive hundreds of submissions every
day and have a backlog of sites to look at. The directory editor
probably didn't have the time to visit your site.
If your web site has not been listed after 4 weeks, send a cordial
email message to the directory editor. Try to get the right contact
person for your category. Some directories such as the Open Directory
Project (dmoz.org) publish the person in charge at the bottom of
the category page. Click on the name to find out his or her email
address.
Tell the editor that you have waited several weeks and that you
have already submitted your web site several times. Ask politely
about the status of your submission and whether there’s a problem
you need to correct. Be sure to include your web site URL, the category
name and the submission dates.
Even if the editor doesn’t reply immediately, your site might
get the attention it deserves and it might get listed quicker.
If you have submitted your site to the popular Open Directory Project,
you can ask about your site’s status at the public forum of
the DMOZ editors.
Now you should make sure you also use a professional tool to submit
your web site to search engines, general directories and industry-specific
directories: IBP.
IBP is a powerful web site promotion tool that helps you to get
the best search engine rankings for your web site. You can find
more information about IBP here.
