Before you fill out the form below, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
This is NOT AN AUTOMATED FORM.
IT SENDS US EMAIL WHICH WE WILL THEN READ AND CONSIDER.
WE WILL ALSO VISIT YOUR SITE TO SEE IF THE INFORMATION YOU SENT US IS VALID.
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY OR AUTOMATICALLY
AS A RESULT OF FILLING THIS OUT.
Failure to read and explicitly follow all the instructions below will NOT result in your site being added anyway, but your request being ignored. Please recognize this before you bother continuing.
(We really didn't mean the preceding to sound rude to legitimate submitters, but this form has resulted in quite a large number of "spam-like" submissions that are a waste of our time and that of the submitters as well, actually. We're just trying to cut back on that.)
1. We are only interested in listing sites that could be of interest to queer women or those having some important relationship with queer women. This MIGHT mean sites of general interest to women or sites of general interest to queers. However, we reserve the right to make that choice. If your site focuses exclusively on heterosexual women or gay men, you probably shouldn't bother contacting us. BUT WE DO MAKE EXCEPTIONS FOR sites that are aggressively politically progressive. Meaning, if you favor full civil rights for queers, we'd imagine you qualify. Even if the site doesn't feature much about lesbians specifically, if it's progressive enough, we imagine our surfers will be interested, and if they aren't . . . they probably should be.
2. We are not interested in listing "personal home pages." (However, there is definitely room for exception here if you are a lesbian artist or activist, and the site represents a body of work.) Sorry, but most strictly personal sites just aren't of sufficient general interest. If you are a lesbian/bisexual/trans woman mainly interested in advertising yourself, please do so via our regular personal ad feature.
3. Please do not submit your site if it's still "under construction" or has a lot of missing links. Please wait until there's enough to review! Please also don't submit your site if you want to list our site on a page that's "not quite ready yet" or something similar. In other words, if you're not totally ready in terms of the info you will provide below, we won't be ready to review your request either. Better to wait and get back to us later.
4. We will not list sites that offer products/services marketed through an affiliate UNLESS there is also significant UNIQUE content on the site. You know who you are. Please don't bother submitting.
5. Because the service we offer is totally free, our continued success also depends on free publicity. Therefore, we REQUIRE A LINK EXCHANGE to list your site. Meaning, if your site is appropriate we'll be more than happy to list it on our Links page which is directly accessible from our high traffic index page (which should certainly help you with the search engines), but only if you agree to list this site somewhere on yours that is ALSO accessible via YOUR index page (which needs to be on the same domain). More traffic for both of us! It's all good! Or, if you're someone who would like us to consider their affiliate program, you can submit that info here too, but unless you have a dynamite program that's unique and well-suited to lesbians, you'd probably have better luck with us with a link exchange.
6. The preceding guidelines are an excellent start in determining if your site will be considered appropriate, but we still reserve the right to make totally arbitrary decisions about what we will include, based on taste, our preferences, whatever. This does NOT mean we won't list sites that are sexually explicit/pornographic . . . but again, our taste/judgment will prevail.
