If you don't know which it is, it's "Regular".

Please tell

Hello,
Atleast tell what it is..
Also, if I submit link like http://65.98.58.14/apnaraj.com/
will it be ok.
Thanks

A Google search for "RSS and Atom" will lead to many tutorials and thousands of examples of this....

Adobe Acrobat makes PDF files. You'll know if you used these on your site.

Conventional website
PDF = Adobe Reader format document (used to be Acrobat)
RSS is a news feed
Atom is a news feed.

I'm sure that Google will provide much more complete definitions.

The root URL http://www.apnarajasthan.com/ might be listable. I haven't looked at the deep link.

Listing by raw IP number can lead to later maintenance problems if the website changes host so we're not very keen on the idea.

Sub link for different sub-category

Sir,
Is there any harm in submiting a site link that is lying at a place other than root?
This is because the sub-link is entirely different category link and it is not going to change either.
Thanks & Regards.

Maybe.

Is there a site at the root?

Is it a deep link of the same website, or a totally different website (like we see wiht Tripod or Geocities).

Generally, we prefer to list the root URL, but there are curcumstances when we will do otherwise.

Different website

Sir/ Madam,
It's a totally different website.
Also, it has no category-wise connection with the website at the root.
Or, should i host it to different url (like http://www.apnaraj.com) before submitting.
Thanks & Regards.

Website submitted

Hello!

I have submitted the site as it is ( as I got no reply from your side ).

I doubt whether it will be treated as spam

Can you suggest something?

Thanks.

Clarification

Sir,

I have submitted the site with site link - http://65.98.58.14/apnaraj.com/
thinking that it will not be treated as spam. Actually it is URL redirection of the http://www.apnaraj.com which is placed at http://65.98.58.14/apnaraj.com/ .

Regards

The site at root is not still hosted (Is it make any difference if there is any site at the root)

The site is not a deep link at all, its altogether different form one at the root.

Pls. tell what are those cases when when you will do otherwise.

Thank you and regards.

The cases are, when (taking into account the many problems listing non-root URLs causes us and surfers) we think that a site is (1) valuable enough, and (2) STABLE enough that a root URL is worth listing.

The fact that a site has no domain name attached, is about the strongest evidence one can have, that the webmaster has not yet committed to a stable site design.
