To Add a URL to The Canadian Web Directory

Submission Guidelines for The Canadian Web Directory

The Canadian Web Directory is a professionally edited web directory. We pay our editors to find quality web sites and add the URLs to the directory. If you would like your URL included, you have two choices. Either you can wait for an editor to find your site and add it, or you can submit your URL along with the submission fee.

**Payment of the non-refundable submission fee does not guarantee inclusion. It simply guarantees consideration of inclusion.**

In order to expedite the review of your submission, please read and follow the submission guidelines set forth below.

Choosing a Category

One reason many submissions are delayed is because they were submitted to the wrong category. Start at the top category, and work your way down to the most relevant category. Now, before you submit, take a look at other sites listed in that category. Are they similar to yours? If not, you may be in the wrong category. Also, check for more specific categories listed under that category.

Web Pages vs. Websites

One feature that separates The Canadian Web Directory from other web directories is that The Canadian Web Directory welcomes individual web pages as well as websites. This concept may be new to many, so let’s illustrate.

A Website:
http://www.smartbomb.ca/

This is a website dealing with Web Design and Multi Media design. Most website submissions will refer to the index page.

A Web Page:
http://www.smartbomb.ca/tools.shtml

This is a web page which may qualify for inclusion in a category dealing with webmaster tools. The first clue indicating its status as a web page is that it is a deeplink. That is to say, it links to a page other than the home page.

A second clue is in that this page alone is relevant to domain names. The website it is attached to would not be eligible for listing in a category dealing with webmaster tools.

Unique Content

In order for a submission to be eligible for listing, it must contain unique content.

Please do not submit sites URLs which contain nothing more than affiliate links. Do not submit pages which redirect the user to another pages. Do not submit pages which have affiliate referrer ID’s attached to the URL.

Other sites not eligible for listing:

Do not submit sites which are still under construction.

Do not submit to two mirror sites.

Do not submit sites which contain illegal or possibly illegal images of underage persons (Child pornography).

Do not submit sites which promote illegal activity.

We reserve the right to refuse any site for any reason.

Once you’ve determined your site is eligible for listing, click on the Add URL link.

You will be asked to pay the submission fee. The price right now is $6 per submission; currently we are using either Pay Pal or BitPass to accept payments. Once you have made the payment you will be re-directed to the page for entering your information.

Enter a title for your website or web page. You should list the title the way a user of your website would refer to it. Then enter the complete URL for either the site or page. Then enter a complete description.

This is a correct submission:

Smart Bomb Enterprises
http://www.smartbomb.ca/

The Description
