ForSaleInCanada Submission Guidelines

ForSaleInCanada is a categorized directory of web sites of interest to Canadians looking to shop online or in person with Canadian companies, or companies offering products or services online in Canadian currency. All sites are reviewed by human editors before being added to our database.

There are two types of listings:

1. Standard Business Listings are charged a one-time service fee which assures the review and possible inclusion of your site ahead of all free listings, as well as additional features detailed on our submission page
2. Gold Sponsored Listing are charged an Annual Fee which assures the review and possible inclusion of your site ahead of all basic listings, as well as additional features detailed on our submission page.

In an effort to speed up the review and inclusion of your site in our directory, we ask that before submitting to ForSaleInCanada you read the following guidelines carefully.

1. Choose The Most Relevant Category

We can not emphasize enough the importance of submitting your site to the most relevant and appropriate category. Having your site in the most appropriate and targeted category will aid surfers in finding your listing, and also help with your overall search engine marketing goals.

When choosing a category keep the following things in mind:

• Dig down in the category listings to make sure you are in the right area
• Are the other sites listed similar to yours?

2. Submit Your Domain, Not Internal Pages

In an effort to keep our directory as targeted, diverse and spam free as possible, we are asking that site owners submit only their main site domain and not internal pages. What this means is that you do not have to submit various internal web pages which are on your site, unless they are completely different and targeted to different surfers.

We do make an exception for subdomains.

These are ok:

Home Page : www.yoursite.com
Subdomain : cameras.yoursite.com

This is not ok :

http://www.yoursite.com/cameras/batt...ransitors.html

If you feel that an exception should be made for your internal pages you can submit a Support Ticket
