    I checked many directories and found that there is no sub category of Cricket in Sports category.

    I am Building a Cricket Site and was just wondering how would i submit my site to the directories :rolleyes:

    I think there is importance to Cricket in the normal world then why don't the Webmaster world show any intrest in it :confused:
    There are many cricket sites made by many people but they are not being submitted because of no sub category :(

    so please look after it and post comments :)

    The best advice I can offer is contact the owner of a directory and tell them that you would like to add your cricket directory to their website but was disappointed to find that there was not cricket subcategory in sports.

    I think most owners would gladly add it.

    Most directories allow you suggest a category. Ours does! Link in signature.

    when cricket is a niche within sports it prolly wont the first thought a directory owner thinks of when building categories :)

    But yea, as others have stated. Suggest it when you sign up your page on directories. I for one listen to the suggestions and make new categories almost daily.

    most directories have a suggestion and/or contact.

    i'd recommend using either/or

    Three reasons:
    (1) When I created my Sports categories I didn't immediately think CRICKET.
    (2) I have yet to have anyone submit a site about Cricket.
    (3) I have yet to have anyone contact me about adding a Cricket category.

    I promise you, if you use the contact information provided on most directories and ask for a cagegory to be added, it will be done. :)

    Like Munt, I don't create categories until there are sites to go in them. If someone submitted a cricket site to Sports, I would certainly be able to put it in a cricket category, no problem.

    I must admit I hardly ever have the patience to suggest new categories when I submit sites. If I can't find a good sub-category, the one above usually does fine. But creating a new category shouldn't take more than a few seconds to create for most directories.

    Don't let the lack of a suitable category put you off, so long as you take some time to find the most suitable place for your site.

    I think many directory owners create new subcategories when they see people submit sites to categories that are not a good match, and when an approate subcategory does not exist. I have probably added 25 new categories in the past two weeks to create a better fit for site submissions.
