Hi, I need some advice from you, since I have a non English site (Portuguese forum about travel) and I'm only accepted in 10% of submissions I made The description I use is in English and usually try to submit to regional/world category and in last place in the travel category. Why 90% reject my submission? What should I do to be accepted ... this is just a forum about travel. Another question, do directory owners delete unacceptable submissions (so that I can resubmit again) or just place then as inactive. Thanks NN
Its a hard one to answer as each site has very different rules but personally i accept non english sites in the world category... I do howver delete submissions i wont approve and not just leave them inactive. Hope that helps.
We will create a category for Portuguese Sites and we will set up a Travel category too Forplex Business Directory http://www.forplex.com/submit.php Thank you for your consideration your Review is welcome
I agree, different directories, different rules. I think if there is a World category, that should be fine. But on many free directories I see in the guidelines (if there are guidelines) that the sites must be in English or must have an English part.
Well in my own directories i have the following: --> Non-english language Regional --> World Regions Now when someone has submitted a site into Non-english language category and found the correct country category to submit to, they need to have submitted everything in that language. Unfortunately i will receive a great site, everythings sweet, but they have submitted the description in english, if they submit the description in the language to match the site i will approve. Its a shame i know, but they miss being listed.
Read the guidelines. But usually these links go under World or Regional, if directory accepts non English sites.
I accept non-english sites - if they are good - in the appropriate category. Like yours would be under forums, but the submission has to be in the original language. It's no use to submit a foreign language site in English when then a visitor clicks through and lands on a site which they do not understand.
As other pointed, all directories have their own rules so I can't really say on what basis your submission was rejected. For you, I think its best to submit under "world/regional" category and more precisely if there is any category for Portuguese. We have one at BWD under "Regional" and will be happy to serve you Foreign Language Sites
www.bqtm.com accepts non english sites in regional category with english description.. I think most of the directories accept them..
