There are possibly millions of sites that belong
in JoeAnt. These are quality sites with interesting and current content, good
layout, and easy to navigate. JoeAnt encourages editors to add their own sites
as long as they do not violate the
guidelines, are rated fairly, have accurate descriptions, and are in
the correct subtopic.
What doesn’t belong takes a bit more explaining.
Selecting
a Site to Add
Site Content
The sites you submit should have sufficient
content (more than one page), offer something unique, and be in accordance with
the rest of the guidelines. All sites doing business online should have at
least one method of contact other than email (either a phone number or physical
address.)
Affiliates and MLM

Selecting a Topic for the Site
If the only feature JoeAnt had to offer was a search,
it wouldn’t matter very much where you put your
entries as long as you included the keywords in the
description. By offering a directory, we are giving the
users of JoeAnt a more precise way to find the
information they need. They can drill down through the
topics to get as specific as they want.
This is why you need to find the most appropriate
topic for your entry. Sites that offer information about
a variety of things will need to go in more general
higher level topics. Those that are more specific should
be put in the lower level topics. If it will fit in a
subtopic put it there. If it would fit in two or more
subtopics put it in the next higher level topic. If you
can’t find a topic for an entry, use the board to ask
for opinions as to where you should put the entry or to
request a new subtopic.
