2.) Some tips to get your site listed
1.) All top directories are constantly on the look out for websites that can serve as a valuable addition to their database. It becomes obvious that only those sites that look appealing and professional will be added. So make sure that your site is well designed and highly usable.

2.) Most directory editors (editors are those who review submitted sites for possible inclusion in their web directory) make use of the title tags as the heading for a site and give them high importance. Sites that have title tags that do not match with their content/theme are generally rejected. So be sure to provide proper title tags to all your pages and a comprehensive tag to your homepage. The title tag should describe your site in the best possible way.

3.) Sites that have broken links or those which have image loading problems are generally rejected at first glance. These are indications that the site is still under construction and is a major reason for sites geting rejected. To eliminate this problem make sure to check your site for broken links. Check all images and test your site in different browsers to ensure the tables load properly.

4.) Providing proper contact information is extremely important. Contact information should include company name, street address, zip codes, phone numbers, fax numbers and email addresses. One more important fact is that the contact information should match with the one in the WHOIS information of the site. Sites that do not have contact information are generally rejected by all major directories.

5.) Some other details that a site should have include the Copyright information, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Return Policy (for product sites), Warranty, Guarantee, Shipping Information etc. All this information must be easily accessible and should have links on the homepage.

In addition to all these factors, it is also extremely important to ensure that the site is listed in a relevant category. Sites submitted in irrelevant categories are likely to be rejected by all major directories.
