    I submitted my site to HugeDirectory.net a day ago. Here is the add http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=86896 and here is the email i got (unknown sender even)

    Subject: Your link at Huge Directory of Websites

    Sad to say, your link at Huge Directory of Websites was rejected and not added to the directory.

    There are multiple reasons to this effect including but not limited to:

    1. Undeveloped Sites
    2. Parked Pages
    3. Internal Pages Submission
    4. Sub-pages or Sub-folders Submission
    5. Spelling and Grammatical Errors
    6. Unsuitable Sites.
    7. Inappropriate Category or Subcategory
    8. Excessive Affliate Links
    9. Re-submission of Approved Site
    10. Redirected to Another Site, Sub-domain or Sub-folder.
    11. Payment not received (if you submit with an option of payment)
    12. Our link not found on your site (if you submit with an option of reciprocal link)

    Thank you,
    Admin

    :rolleyes:

    I really dont see anything on that list that would deny me from being included, but i do accept the idea of not being added for what ever reason, but the letter it has to send and the reasoning that does not fit. Wont it be better if not email or a better way explanation rather than a templated and please, send the email with a known sender

    Don't get me wrong, i dont mind or i dont care whether i got accepted or not, just that email reasoning and the "unknown sender" that made me scratch my head.

    Thank You!

    I guess you have the super ego if you want to discuss your site not getting listed in any directory.

    You might need to look at the email you sent, you'll confuse some people.

    1. Undeveloped Sites? -I think it's developed, though it still needs lots of work.
    2. Parked Pages? -Not parked
    3. Internal Pages Submission. -Nope
    4. Sub-pages or Sub-folders Submission. -No
    5. Spelling and Grammatical Errors. Maybee a capull on the syte.
    6. Unsuitable Sites. -it's ok
    7. Inappropriate Category or Subcategory. the right place i thought.
    8. Excessive Affliate Links. -I make sure there are none in there?
    9. Re-submission of Approved Site. -first time submited.
    10. Redirected to Another Site, Sub-domain or Sub-folder. -no
    11. Payment not received (if you submit with an option of payment) -You had a Free option.
    12. Our link not found on your site (if you submit with an option of reciprocal link) -The Free option, though I would add your site when you have approved or if you have submitted one.

    I did not see any reason base on the email you sent. Maybe re-doing the email?

    My free directory gets a hundred submissions per day... do you really expect directory owners to send personalized emails to every person who submits or gets rejected? I'll tell you, the primary reasons sites get rejected from Free Website Directory is because:

    Spammy title or description, inner pages of a crappy site, submitting to multiple categories, submitting multiple pages, little or no description, and subdomains on the same old spam sites over and over and over...

    Other than that (which accounts for 20% of the submissions I get), I rarely reject a listing.

    Here are some actual (I'm reviewing submissions right this very minute) listings I'm rejecting:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    Title: Paper Cone Machinery Manufacturer India
    Description: We are Manufacturers of Paper Cone Machine, Paper Tube Machine, Pattern cutting Machine, Paper cone winding Machine, Seaming Machine, Paper tube Trim Cutting Machine, Auto Tube Paper Rough Cutter Machine, Spiral Tube Paper winding Machine, Paper slitting

    Title: :: Po2 Mob :: ADR RPG ::
    Description: Articles, Blogs, Cheat Codes, Comics, ADR RPG, Photo Albums, Jokes, Cheat Codes, Games, Midis, Recipes, Lyrics, Recipes

    Title: SeaCAS SafePasage AIS Receiver is compatible with Furuno, Nobeltec, Raymarine, Maptech, Rose sPoint,
    Description: SeaCAS | AIS Receiver furuno, maptech, raymarine, nobeltec, sitex, sealink, rose point & gps navigation program

    Title: Online coupons, online coupon codes, free discount coupons, Coupon codes, Hot deals, Todays Deals
    Description: Welcome to one of the best online coupons site online-coupons.redtaghosting.com. We list all online coupons codes, hot deals and free discount coupons for discount shopping. Special offers on to days deal over one thousand leading stores on the web
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    This doesn't even touch on the spammy domains, improper categories, the same crap I keep rejecting over and over. Hell, sometimes it pisses me off so much when someone is spamming the same site all over the place that I find every instance of it and remove all listings ever placed by that person.

    My advice to directory submitters: Don't spam. Submit your link like you would if you were telling a friend about it. What's it called and what do you do? The internet would be a better place...

    What hasn't been understood? Your looking for a personalized response?

    Instead of asking for why it wasnt accepted on a public forum, have you attempted to contact the directory owner about it?

    I'm not interested on why it was denied nor do I care. What got me scratching my head was the denial Email The 12 reasoning on that email did not made any sense to me. Why even send a rejection email when none of it justified. I just think he needs to redo his rejection email, thats all or not send one at all unless the submitter ask for why it was'nt accepted.

    1. Undeveloped Sites? -I think it's developed, though it still needs lots of work.
    2. Parked Pages? -Not parked
    3. Internal Pages Submission. -Nope
    4. Sub-pages or Sub-folders Submission. -No
    5. Spelling and Grammatical Errors. Maybee a capull on the syte.
    6. Unsuitable Sites. -it's ok
    7. Inappropriate Category or Subcategory. the right place i thought.
    8. Excessive Affliate Links. -I make sure there are none in there?
    9. Re-submission of Approved Site. -first time submited.
    10. Redirected to Another Site, Sub-domain or Sub-folder. -no
    11. Payment not received (if you submit with an option of payment) -You had a Free option.
    12. Our link not found on your site (if you submit with an option of reciprocal link) -The Free option, though I would add your site when you have approved or if you have submitted one.

    Submit your site again, let me look at it.
    Then maybe, just maybe, since you want a personalized answer, I may do that.
    So far, you are just whining about an email telling you your link was not accepted.

    And since you went line by line, why did you leave this one out?

    I wouldn't worry about having a site rejected by a free directory. It could have been in error - most of the directory owners are pretty lenient when it comes to adding listings to their directory. Resubmit and move on.

    One of the members here who creates a number of directories has yet to approve my submissions to their directories, but who cares really? I'm not going to lose any sleep over it, especially when they have no problem approving a paid submission for the same site ;)

    I am not interested on resubmitting my site to yours. I am fine with your decision to not accept.

    I posted 12 of the reasons count them. Who said anything about whinning? Frankly I really don't care. Just to note about your email that you send out suggesting maybe a fix to it or to not send one at all.

    Friend, I could careless whether my site is on your directory or not, not worth it.

    Listen, I have been rejected before. No problem That stupid email he sends out, did not justified the reasoning (sorta an insult if you will)

    Ok, to clarify this once and for all. This is the norm of how I submit my website.

    Title: World Wide Web Site
    URL: http://wwws.org
    Description:
    Your Name Filed
    Your Email Filled
    Category Computers and Internet/Web Directory

    All things were filled and appropriate. The webmaster failed to check my website or maybe my host went offline who knows what his reasons were other than the templated email, which to me was an insult. I do understand that the owner need not have to accept it for whatever reason, but did he have to send an email that wasn't justifiable? I broke no rules based on the 12 reasonings on the email. I kept my site(or try too) well cared of as in good quality directory with good quality links in it or contents.

    I'm a directory owner too and I reject a certain website(s) that do not meet my standards and most of the time I go out of my way to make sure what my submitters submit are within the guidlines and if not I will personally email them and tell them to edit their listing or be risk to be deleted. A proper communication or none at all is the way.

    My question to him would be. Did you even visited my site to see whats in it, if so what did you see that I violated your guidlines. MY site that I submitted. http://wwws.org

    I don't think you understand. I'm trying to be helpful by explaining why it's not time effective to email every person with a personalized email explaining why their site was rejected. It seems all you want to do is place the blame on others, rather than finding out what may have caused the rejection so you can prevent it in the future.

    As a directory owner you should know that the only thing really in it for us is the content from the description, which apparently bother to fill judging by your post:

    As I mention all the necessary things in the forms were filled...yea yea I forgot to paste it here.

    You went on Blah, blah blah this and that like you din't even read or did not understand, explaining the most obvious and ranting about how you rejected such's site. Who Cares! Anyways, it looks like you were Advertising more than helping anyways.

    None what you said made sense, since's it is irrelevant as to what I been saying, you just ranted about nothing. The website I submitted is NOT a Spammy site like how you were making the examples on how you rejected. So save your speech for the next person with a spammy site.

    jesus, get over yourself.

    if your site gets rejected, thats IT, it's REJECTED, so MOVE ON.

    stop thinking your site is the end-all be-all to directories, because i've got news for you...it ISNT.

    (hilarious in that people cannot accept rejection)

    Have moveon. Being REjected isn't a problem
    it's quite obvious english is a second language here.:confused: And there's no need to say that I think my directory is dashitmo, whether i think of it or not that is not the topic here, dont butt-in and take side.

    This tread isn't about rejection
    it's about how he handled the sittuation. We got this cleared right? not about being rejected

    :D :D :D

    Ok, for real though. Every directory I have ever known specifically states that he/she can reject you site for ANY REASON. Maybe they didn't like the description you wrote, maybe they just didn't need another site added to that particular category, maybe you bad-mouthed them once and this is payback, maybe they know you from this forum and think you suck, maybe they delete submissions at random and you just happened to be today's unlucky son-of-a-snitch, maybe they just said, "Boy, this is going to piss someone off." Anyways, get over it. It's such a minor issue.
