SeekOn Site Suggestion Instructions
If you would like to suggest a site for listing on SeekOn, please follow these instructions.
Suggestions for new SeekOn site listings are reviewed by SeekOn reviewers. Not all sites are accepted for listing on SeekOn. SeekOn users agree to the SeekOn Terms of Service.
SeekOn reviewers consider that their main function is to determine if a submission is appropriate for the suggested SeekOn page. We think the site owner is in the best position to describe his or her own site. We therefore generally do not edit the submitted title and description. However we will decline a submission for having a poor submitted title or description. Site owners should therefore spend some time writing these items, which can also be used for submitting to other directories such as Open Directory, and for inserting in page title and description tags.
Locality Pages: SeekOn has pages for more than 15,000 cities and towns in the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean.
- Sites submitted to SeekOn locality pages should be for activities located in or concerning the specific locality.
- The title or description should ideally contain the name of the locality: "Needham Flower Shop" or "...located in Maryville's Ferguson Mall."
- Sites submitted to a locality page should have an "about" or "contact" page specifying an address in or near the locality.
General Directory: SeekOn has a limited general subject directory (Arts, Society, Health, Computers, Business, Recreation). This directory is intended to provide information of plausible interest to residents and visitors in North America. A site in Ohio, Europe, or Japan that sells gifts by mail would be acceptable; a site selling accounting services or fuel delivery in India would not. Sites submitting to the general directory should have means such as an "about" or "contacts" page specifying how to contact site management, at least including a postal address. If your site concerns a business or activity that is of only local interest, please submit it to the appropriate locality page. New sites are temporarily not being accepted in the general directory.
General guidelines:
Do not simply put lists of keywords in the title or description. Do not use excessive capitalization. The title and description should read well. Needless to say, the submitted title and description should correspond well with the actual site content.
- Sites that are "under construction" are not accepted.
- URL given in the submission should be the actual URL of the page. Redirecting URLs are not accepted.
- Sites containing pornographic adult content or other content widely considered objectionable are not accepted.
- SeekOn's robot will contact the site to verify that the page exists, and does not contain a no-index tag or offensive content prior to submitting your request to a reviewer. The robot periodically reverifies accepted sites.
- SeekOn currently only accepts sites and site titles/descriptions that are written in English.
- Sites should not employ obnoxious features such as pop-up ads or code that disables the "back" button.
