Home :: Getting Listed How to Get Listed in the Directory
This Directory is organized by subject and most sites in it are suggested to us by users. Sites are placed in categories by our content team, who visit and evaluate your suggestions and decide where they best belong. We do this to ensure that the Directory is organized in the best possible way, is easy to use, intuitive, helpful, and fair to everyone.With this in mind, we ask that you follow three simple steps if you have a site (URL) you'd like to suggest:
1. Check to see if your site is already listed.
An important first step, because if your site is already listed, you do not need to submit it again. Check by searching for your site by title, or by browsing appropriate categories. (You can do this from most pages within the directory using the search box near the top of the screen).2: Find the appropriate category in the Directory.
Finding an appropriate category for your site is at the heart of this process. Remember that our content team visit each site suggested and proper categorization on your part helps us process suggestions quickly.
3. Suggest your site from the appropriate category.
Suggest your site from the category you think most appropriate. Do this by clicking on the "Add a Listing" link at the top left of that category page. It will take you to a form if you are in a topic category. Also remember that the final placement of your site is determined by our content team.When you click on "Add a Listing" in the appropriate category, you'll see an on-line form asking for information about your site. (In the "category" space on the form, you'll see the name of the category and any sub categories you have chosen.) Please be prepared to provide your e-mail address, your site's title, URL, a brief description and up to 15 key search words to associate with your entry. Please ensure that you use the full URL (http://.....) in your entry. Also, we ask that you do not use any non-alphanumeric characters in the description or keywords. Separate your keywords with spaces, not commas! It is a good idea to think about your description carefully, since the words used will be searchable within the site. A concise description with relevant keywords will give you the best exposure. However, don't write a nonsense description just to squeeze in keywords.
Watch out! We do not like it when one site submits itself to every category they can think of. If it is appropriate, you may submit your site to more than one category, but if you submit to more than 3 categories this could be considered spamming. If after we have added your site you continue to try to add it to other categories in a way that could be considered spamming (persistent submissions), we will ban your site from the directory. Human beings edit this directory, not robots, so abusive practices cost us considerable time and energy. We thank you for being considerate about submitting your crime-related site.
We update our database on average every two days and sites following the guidelines above can expect to be added in this time. Please help us to help you by providing your information as outlined above.
Many thanks,
Crime Spider
