Sites Not Submitted

Posted June 28, 2005 | 2 comments

It is often assumed that only sites that get submitted/suggested to the “queue” -(though that really should be considered a disorganized heap) will get reviewed.

However, sites that were never submitted can get added and reviewed by editors. How can this happen? Some examples -

  • Site was linked from another site that was reviewed
  • An editor walked into a store and brought home a business card
  • The website was listed on the side of a van
  • A company provided good service and the editor wanted to share it
  • A site was mentioned in a magazine article

Sometimes the editor can both add and review a site, but often he/she just adds it to a category for another editor to review.

I mention this, since I just accidently found a site while searching for something else. I enjoyed viewing it, so I returned the experience by sending the site to be reviewed. Too bad I can’t review and add it myself.

It’s not a problem - an editor reviewing it will see clearly the difference between me adding it for review, and the site owner also submitting it. We have to be able to differentiate between a site owner submitting multiple times - spam, and a competitor trying to sabotage by doing the same.
