A site submitted to for example to Rochester, NY in Business will also be included in the World Directory, New York Directory and the United States Directory under the same topic giving you 4 submissions.


How to Write a Title:
Use the official title of the business or service.
If the site is a business or organization, use the official name, such as Mary Kay, Inc.
Capitalize the first letter of the first word in the title and all main words, but not conjunctions (and, but, or, for, nor, so, and yet), short prepositions (such as to, on, at, and in), or articles (a, an, and the).
Do not use "The, A, An or similar words" to start a title. If the title is a proper name, such as a newspaper, the title should be entered as American Heritage Dictionary, The or New York Times, The. If the title is not a proper name, such as The Best of Mallard Ducks, it would be entered as Best of Mallard Ducks.
Do not use all CAPITAL LETTERS.
Do not use unnecessary punctuation marks, symbols or letters, company slogans or promotional language in the title.
Do not use "Welcome to", "Homepage of" or "Website" as part of the title.
Use concise anchor text (e.g. use Web Design & Hosting Service instead of Best Web Design and Super Hosting Service). Do not repeat company name in the anchor text. Optimal anchor text should be 3-5 words. Example: Team Skaffe Directory - webmaster directory, world directory, local, regional


How to Write a Description:
Write one to two sentences which are informative and objective, and tell a searcher what can be found at the site. The character limit including spaces is 200
Describe the unique features of the site.
Try to use a minimum of ten words, thereby avoiding descriptions such as; "An informational site."; and "A clinical report". These are not useful to our end users.
Start the description with a logical sentence, and use correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Write out the meaning of acronyms used in the title.
Do not start your description with "This site" or "Site includes", or end it with "etc." or "and more".
Do not repeat the title in the description.
Do not repeat key words in the description.
Do not use all CAPITAL LETTERS.
Capitalize the first word of a sentence and use a period at the end.
Do not capitalize the first letter of each word.
Do not use emphatic punctuation such as "!!!" ampersands "&" or ellipses "…"
Do not use first or second person pronouns such as; "we", "I", "you", "our", "you", "us", or "me".
Do not use information that is liable to change, such as dates, quantities, and prices.
Do not use sales and advertising pitches such as "best", "most", "cheap" and "cheapest".
Do not include details such as street addresses, directions, phone numbers or other URLs.
When a City, State format is used, spell out the state; i.e., Oakland, CA, should be Oakland, California.
Be original and use your own words. Copying is plagiarism and is illegal. If you must use short phrases copied from the site, enclose the phrase in quotation marks.
If sites are written in a foreign language, write the description in English with a notation that the site is multilingual or in what language the site is written.
Always proofread your description, making any required correction(s).


How to add Keywords:
Add relevant keywords about your website using plural and singular forms. Do not separate with a comma and do not use repeated keywords.


How to add a proper URL:
A proper URL will include the use of "http://", "www", and a trailing slash. The preferred method is to submit the 'short' version of a URL. For example, rather than submitting http://www.teamskaffe.com/index.html, you would correctly use http://www.teamskaffe.com/.
Do not use deep links if they are related to the same topic as the main URL, and can be reached from the website's front page. For example, http://www.websiteexamples.com/examples/ would not be approved as a site submission because this page would be accessible from the shortened or main URL and is topic-related.
