Can I choose my own keywords?

    We are submitting to directories and not a traditional search engine. As a result, your keywords will not work in the same way they would in a traditional search engine. Search engines survey the entire Web, using user-created meta tags, doorway pages and keywords to categorize and prioritize the search results. Unfortunately, Web-page builders often use a variety of techniques to artificially manipulate their listings and this inevitably leads to poor search results for users.

    A directory, on the other hand, only searches its own database of high-quality sites that have been individually reviewed and categorized by human editors. Meta tags and other key wording technology do not affect these listings. Directories believe this keeps the margin for error and for exploitation to a minimum. It also allows them to keep objectionable material, such as pornographic content and violent or offensive material, out of our listings.
