Different URLs from the same domain

Hi,

We have an informative project which includes high quality, unique articles, definitions and many other useful information about several different things.

For example, We created a project about Evolution Theory, which includes many articles in a URL like:
http://www.example.com/what-is/evolution/

And then we created another project, say, Global warming at http://www.example.com/what-is/global-warming/ (again with multiple pages)

Are they all OK to be submitted separately? Is there a limit?

If They are OK, I have another question. Let's assume we have a high quality, unique and informative SINGLE page. Is it still OK to submit a single html page with useful information?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the limit is one.

You submit your site once to the single best category. Do not submit individual pages.

Exceptions:

If you have a physical place of business you may submit one by topic and once by office location.

If your stie is in more than one language (no machine translations) you may submit to the appropriate language categories within World/.

What is the focus of what "your 'we'" are doing?

If the focus is a specific subject, then that's one thing -- typically a topical site.
If the focus is "things I/we are interested in", then that's another thing -- typically a "personal interests" site, and we'd look to see if there were a more general classification (like "politics/x-wing" or "religious/x-ite" or "region-x" or whatever) under which there might be organizational sites or even "personal sites" categories including similarly-bent sites.

It is a well-validated rule of thumb that sites promoted for multiple listings before obtaining one listing, are the least likely of all sites to be listable at all. <added> But while this is of interest to editors looking for submittal abuse, it's not really relevant to site submitters. What's relevant to site submitters is "don't suggest related links, because doing that incurs the heaviest penalties available to editors."

Our web site has 4 different sections. ONE of them is what I mention here: Informative projects against disinformation. This is what "we are" doing. Generally they are scientific but each project is seperate. Has its own menu, design, etc... Each project is like a small scale informative web site with its high quality, unique content.

Anyway,

Just check this page out: http://www.dmoz.org/Kids_and_Teens/Your_Family/

And look at the kidshealth.org. They have 6 single .HTML pages!

Isn't this violating your guidelines?

I very much doubt that professional SEOers at kidshealth.org suggested a single one of those links: in other words, the SUBMITTAL policies are extremely unlikely to be broken.

But in the rare cases where someone from an encyclopediac site from an internationally-recognized organization (such as smithsonian.org, ibiblio.com, harvard.edu, bbc.uk, or kidshealth.org) DOES suggest deeplinks, I tend to respond personally, thanking them for the content, inviting them to suggest their new content as it appears, and describing how they can make their suggestions more effective.

Even if your description of the links were close to accurate (and I don't want to leave anyone with the impression that it is!) the number of pages would be irrelevant. I'd be ecstatic to be able to list a website containing Albert Schweitzer's book on Bach, whether it were contained in one single file or broken into separate pages for every chapter.

And the EDITORS' GUIDELINES do allow for deeplinking of exceptional sites. kidshealth.org certainly qualifies -- it is a stellar example of the best tradition of philanthropy and education. That level of professionalism (in the best sense of the word) is above the criticism of ANY of us amateurs (and I speak as one who highly values the spirit of amateurism driving many excellent projects both on- and offline.)
