How to suggest a site to Travigators
The Travigators is a web directory of Internet resources. A web directory is something akin to a huge reference library. The directory is hierarchically arranged by subject - from broad to specific.
We aren't a search engine and pride ourselves on being highly selective. Our goal is to make the directory as useful as possible for our users, not to have the directory include all of the sites that could possibly be listed or serve as a promotional tool for the entities listed.
You should take a few moments to understand these policies and the steps to submit a site before you begin.
Step One
Determine whether a site is appropriate for submission to the Travigators:
| • | Do not submit mirror sites. Mirror sites are sites that contain identical content, but have altogether different URLs. |
| • | Do not submit URLs that contain only the same or similar content as other sites you may have listed in the directory. Sites with overlapping and repetitive content are not helpful to users of the directory. Multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites. |
| • | Do not disguise your submission and submit the same URL more than once. Example: http://www.travigators.comand http://www.travigators.com/index.html |
| • | Do not submit any site with an address that redirects to another address. |
| • | Travigators has a policy against the inclusion of sites with illegal content. Examples of illegal material include child pornography; libel; material that infringes any intellectual property right; and material that specifically advocates, solicits or abets illegal activity (such as fraud or violence). |
| • | Do not submit sites "under construction." Wait until a site is complete before submitting it. Sites that are incomplete, contain "Under Construction" notices, or contain broken graphics or links aren't good candidates for the directory. |
| • | Submit non-English sites to the appropriate category under World. |
| • | Don't submit sites consisting largely of affiliate links. |
Step Two
Do a quick search in the directory at travigators.com to be sure your site isn't already listed. This saves everyone time.
Step Three
Identify the single best category for your site. Travigators has an enormous array of subjects to choose from. You should submit a site to the single most relevant category. Sites submitted to inappropriate or unrelated categories may be rejected or removed.
Step Four
Once you've selected the best category for your site, go directly submit your link page and Follow the instructions on the submission form carefully. Descriptions of sites should describe the content of the site concisely and accurately. They should not be promotional in nature.
Procedure After Your Site is Submitted
A Travigators editor will review your submission to determine whether to include it in the directory. Depending on factors such as the volume of submissions to the particular category, it may take 24 to 48 Hours or more before your submission is reviewed. Please only submit a URL to Travigators once. Again, multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites.
Updating Your Site
If a site has been accepted for inclusion in the directory but you are dissatisfied with how the site is described or titled, you may email us at moderator@travigators.com. If you are dissatisfied with the category in which your site is listed, you may send an e-mail to moderator@travigators.com category explaining your disagreement. Be polite and civil -- threatening or abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
If (but only if) you are dissatisfied with the editor's response, you may then use the "Feedback" link at the top of the page to "appeal" the editor's decision. Be specific concerning your disagreement (including why you believe the editor's response is inadequate). Comments made through the feedback link are reviewed by the Travigators staff, who will make the final decision.
Travigators team welcomes comments and feedback about the directory generally. Please let us know what you think, and how we can improve the service. Thanks
