Directory confusion

B

biz1973

Hi,
I have a website-http://www.successriver.com, which I would like to submit to ODP. This site is related to different subjects /different ODP directories, with goal to help people succeeding in different fields. I am confused where ( in what directory) I should submit it to. May I submit each page separately to the related directory or just once and to one only? Any suggestions before submitting? http://www.successriver.com. Thanks a lot.

IMO, it's not listable anywhere at all. It's like an affiliate link farm, except with shrouded links(*). It is 110%(**) promotional/advertising copywriting. I know the marketroids call that kind of thing "content", but we don't.

FOOTNOTES:
(**)A lot of people think we reject sites for having affiliate links. It's the DOORWAY aspect that offends us -- not your choice of click-tracking schemes. By our definition, you can have an "affiliate link farm" without a single REFERER tag in sight.

(*)the other -10% is information.

Please don't start threads in multiple forums about the same topic.

My response from your other thread (which I've deleted):

No, do not submit each section to the directory. The site appears to just be a vehicle for affiliate links and what are essentially ads/reviews for other sites. I don't see enough unique content to warrant listing the site at all.

I'm not sure what content your site actually offers. It seems to be just a bunch of links to other sites which provide information. Each of those other sites might merit inclusion in the ODP in a separate category, but would have to be evaluated on it's own merits.

My personal opinion is that your site exists only to increase the page rank of the other sites, but perhaps an editor with more experience might feel differently.

---ADDED--
Well this was an attempt to repond to the first post, which got deleted while I was responding. So it looks like the other editors with more experience were faster than me.
