Listing your Web Site on SeekOn
-How do I list my site on SeekOn?
SeekOn has local message boards like the Annapolis, MD Board. You can post your own message on one of these boards by going to the city page and clicking on "Local Message Board". Then push "Post a New Message", fill in the form, and press "Post Message". Make sure your email address is correct before posting. Once your message has been posted you can see it listed on the message board by backing up to the board page and pushing refresh or reload on your browser. A password and message number will be emailed to you which you can use to delete your message later.
The local city boards are intended for messages of local interest. If you want to post a nationwide message you can use the general message boards. You may post commercial messages (advertisements), items for rent, sale, etc.
In order to discourage SPAM and offensive postings your internet address is posted on your message. Please be responsible in your use of this free facility.
Warning: Your message may not appear on the board page even after you press reload or refresh. The reason is that many Internet Service Providers provide their own copies of SeekOn web pages in a "cache". The version of the board page you are seeing may not be the latest version and therefore may not contain your listing even though the SeekOn version is correct. Usually the ISP updates their pages at least daily. AOL users are especially likely to have this problem.
Listing your Web Site on SeekOn
If you have a locally oriented web site you can list it in your town's SeekOn pages. Go to your town page and click on "Suggest Site" at the bottom of the page. You will then be asked for the site URL. SeekOn takes some local site listings from the Open Directory Project.
There is no cost to list your site on SeekOn. SeekOn does not require a link to SeekOn on your site. You can list your site on up to three SeekOn pages.
If you update your site title or description tags you can resubmit your site and we will get the new information from your site.
SeekOn generally lists accepted sites within two weeks of submission.
If your site has moved, resubmit your site using the new URL. If the previous site URL no longer exists, you can have SeekOn remove it by using the bad link reporting form. We cannot accept email requests to remove the listing for an existing page because of the difficulty of determining that the requestor really owns the site. If you want such a site listing removed see the meta robots tag description. SeekOn's spider periodically visits listed sites. Listings for pages that no longer exist will be automatically removed.
The order of site listings on SeekOn pages is done by a proprietary ranking algorithm.
SeekOn (because of spam issues) does not accept URLs which contain ? or =. SeekOn also may not accept sites or domains which have spammed SeekOn in the past. SeekOn does not accept listings of pages that redirect to another page. Submit the actual target page. SeekOn does not accept listings for offensive "adult" sites.
On larger city pages, SeekOn has separate pages for different categories of site (e.g. restaurants). Site listings submitted to that city will be assigned to a page by means of keywords found in the page title or description. For example, if your site title or description has words like restaurant, cafe, dining, etc. it will be assigned to the restaurant page.
