The Open Directory Project is very eclectic and only
selects what we feel are the best of the submissions we
receive. If your site is not included, please don't take
it personally.
Some of the more basic reasons why a site is rejected are:
The site is still under construction.
Please only submit sites that are complete. Sites with
"Under Construction" and "Coming Soon" are a big turn-off
and will be immediately rejected.
The submitter did not follow the submission guidelines.
Before submitting, please be sure to read the
ODP Submission
Guidelines.
The site does not function.
If the site has too many broken graphics, dead links, or is
poorly put together so that it is very hard to read or use, it
most likely will be rejected. Likewise for going off the
other end of the scale with flashy jumping graphics and little
else. And of course, numerous submissions simply turn up a
404 (Page Does Not Exist) error message.
Scant content.
Self-explanatory. The best sites are more than just a great
Flash intro, or page after page of self-aggrandizing, or rants
against other sites, you get the idea. Pages with useful info
and originality are the most desirable qualities.
Self-explanatory. The best sites are more than just a great
Flash intro, or page after page of self-aggrandizing, or rants
against other clans, you get the idea. Pages with useful info
for clan as well as non-clan members, insights into the game,
Half Life and TFC news, tips, downloads, clan philosophies, and
originality are the most desirable qualities.
Adult content
Sites with porn or adult content will not be listed here.
They should be submitted in the proper subcategory under
Adult.
Too many banner ads or pop-ups.
This is perhaps the worst of all and will get a submission
killed faster than anything. |
