    I too agree with CanadianEh

    If you are asking for a reciprocal link to get listed...its not free.

    You're welcome! And thanks to all others who have submitted their websites. For the ones who are looking at submitting, please remember that your listing will go live immediately once you have verified your email address by clicking on the link in the automated email sent to you. Don't forget to do that. :)

    Don’t you have any form of quality control? The site goes live when the e-mail is confirmed? Not a good way to operate a directory and after a year you will be nothing but garbage and spam listings. That accounts for 70%+ of directory submissions.

    I do have quality control. There are two steps to quality control (during submission and after submission). During submission, this is done by checking a lot of things in the submission, the main one being email verification. This gets rid of SPAMmers.

    Then, once a website is successfully submitted, I get a notification and I do an overall or a thorough check (depending on available time) of the submission. If the submission is found to link to an offensive site, adult site etc., I then have a few options (Send a warning, Delete Listing or Ban Listing). Deleted listings can be resubmitted but once a site is banned it can not be resubmitted unless the ban is lifted.

    I have found the measures that I have used to be fairly effective so far. I don't get SPAM listings due to email verification, but I do get submissions that contain unsuitable content and they are deleted and the owner's notified.
