Submitting Your Site
1. What types of sites can be listed in your
directory?
Any business, organization, or education based Western New York
website may be added to the directory. At this time we are not
accepting personal websites. We will not accept sites containing
pornographic, hate, or racial content. Each site submission is reviewed
and will be added to the directory at our editors discretion. Top
2. How do I submit my site or business?
Submitting your listing is
very easy. Simply click on
Add a Link at the bottom of
any
page. You will then be asked
for information regarding
your listing. Please
choose a relevant category and sub category for your site. For example, if
you are a manufacturing company, don't simply request to have your site
listed under our "Business" main category. The place for your site would be
in our "Manufacturing" category, which is a sub category of "Business. This
site will constantly be changing as more and more sites are added so if you
can't find a relevant category for your site now, please
contact us and we will add it if necessary.
When submitting your site, double
check your website URL to
make sure you have given us
the correct address. If we
cannot access your site, we cannot
add it. Top
3. Why do you ask for my email address?
When you register with us and wish to add a listing, you will be given a link id and password. This will be for your use later if you wish to edit
or remove your listing. If you do not give us your email address, you will not receive a password or user name and will not be able to edit the listing in any way.
You will also receive an email notification regarding whether your site
submission is accepted or rejected. Top
4. I submitted my listing. Where is it?
Your submission is not automatically added to our database. The submissions are all reviewed and then our editors decide if your listing is appropriate for our directory. Once the submissions are reviewed and deemed appropriate, we will then add your listing to our database. The time may vary depending on the number of listings we receive. You should see your site
listed within 3 days at the most, unless there are unusual circumstances. You will receive an email when your listing is added to our database. Top
5. When I submitted my listing, it gave me coding to add to my page. What is that?
The coding you were given will help your site ranking in search
results and on our
Hot Links
page. You can use our 1WNY Web Logo code that is displayed on our site
submission page or also use a text link that reads "1WNY Web Directory
Member". Just be sure to use your link id code so we can track the hits you
send to us. Top
