    Note: [The above url has been rejected by our Spider (Sleek/2.0)].

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

    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
