i tried submitting myself to the search-info directory... but i keep getting this response:
http://www.lucidnet.co.uk/
Note: [The above url has been rejected by our Spider (Sleek/2.0)].
i tried changing my tags but it wont spider it..... i tried submitting some other sites and they got spidered and listed straight away
Can anyone tell me what is going wrong??
Thanks

I don't have time to investigate your site, but have you tried validating your HTML code?

have submitted multiple times before in the past? maybe that's the cause of it? they may have blocked you or something

search-info.com does not let you submit to their directory. They are using a DMOZ dump for the directory. The submission is for their search engine.

It worked fine for me.
Maybe the form is filtering out submissions with more than two periods in an attempt to reject non-first level URLs?

you dont have two most important tags - character encoding and HTML 4.01 DDT
add this code to the top, before <html>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
and add this somewhere inside <head></head> tags
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
and try again, dont give up.
cheers,

Hi All,
Any Search Info Search Engine & Directory are no longer using the ODP!
They now have their own directory much like yahoo and you can submit your url. They review all entries very quickly....
Thanks,
Larry
