Top: Society: Advice

If you are not sure, submit in the category you feel is closest. Editors are happy to help someone who meets us half way!

When submitting a site, please indicate if registration or payment is required from your visitors.

Reviewing submitted sites is taken very seriously at the Open Directory; a site in the wrong category, or an inappropriate title or description gets us - and you - a bad reputation. So we reserve the right to delete inappropriate submissions.

Thanks for bringing your site to us.

As a sub-category of "Society", this category deals with advice on the 'human condition', rather than, for example, motor mechanics.

Also, it favors those sites at which you can seek advice - or read about those who have - rather than those which simply publish a prepacked world view! (see Self_Help).

Please be careful and use your own judgment when requesting advice. It can be hard to determine the qualifications of those offering advice over the Internet.

This category is most definitely not an 'information service' area; it's Advice!

Help us to help you - by making this the most useful directory.
