Common reasons for disapproval of a directory submission
Submissions to directories do not guarantee that your site will be listed. Editors have their own policy to add or reject sites. Asking various directory editors, I have compiled some common reasons why editors reject sites to list into their directories.
Like:-- Site does not fit into the directory’s topic.
- Having invalid description
- Having under construction or incomplete section
- Site contains broken links or broken pictures.
- Not in directory supported language
- Takes forever to load.
- Overrun with advertisements.
- Every page of site opens in a new window.
- Confusing, can’t even tell what they are selling.
- Contains something that search engines frown on as hidden text.
- “Member’s only” so cannot be properly reviewed.
- Sites with excessive pop-ups or pop-unders.
- Broken links in the sites, pornographic photos and language
- Sites whose content is primarily affiliate marketing.
- Sites that redirect to another site.
- Adsense scrapper sites.
- Site without a clear method of online contact.
- Same titles and description as previous submitted site.
- Sites on free hosting services or without a registered domain name.
- Sites that have a limited life.
These are just a list of reasons for what webmasters reject a submission. But almost every directory has its own editorial policy. So before submission, read the submissions guidelines.
