Disability Online is a reciprocal link directory.

This means our system will check the URL you input for an existing link back to www.disabilityonline.com - if no link exists, you will be returned to a help page which will explain that.

For example - if you submit www.yoursite.com as the URL, the disabilityonline.com link must be ON THAT PAGE.   If the DisabilityOnline.com link is on a links page, then THAT is the page you need to submit to the directory.

TIPS

General Listing Information

Our Directory LISTS sites on Category Pages in ALPHABETICAL order.

Our Directory SEARCHES in the following order:

Category Match
Title
Description
Keywords

If the keyword entered matches any words in a Category Title, the Category will be displayed in the Search Results at the top of the page.  This indicates that a match has been found in one of those categories.  If the keywords match a site Title, those URLs will be listed below the Categories.  Descriptions are searched next, and then keywords.  Relevant keywords are highlighted in BOLD FACE in each listing.

Sites that match Titles are listed immediately below the Categories
Sites that match Descriptions are listed below the Title matches.
Sites that match Keywords are listed below the Description matches.

Getting the most out of your Listing:

Proper registration is critical to getting quality hits.  Being familiar with the search and listing procedures will help get your listing entered faster.

Please be aware that we are a manually run directory - meaning that someone actually looks at your submission AND your site to be sure the information is correct and the content is applicable to the Directory.  Your listing could take up to a week to be added.

TITLE Field:
Maximum Title length is 50 characters.  As you can see from the search order above, the Title of your page is VERY important.  If you sell a particular product or service, it's a good idea to have that product or service name in your title.

For example - "Joe's Repairs"....  Joe repairs wheelchairs and sells wheelchair parts and accessories and wants a listing in Adaptive Technology:Parts and Accessories.

Someone searching for "parts and accessories" would get the Category Listing with Joe's Repairs on the page, but not as a direct link under the Category Matches.  So as you can see, Joe's Repairs as a page title is pretty much useless.  BUT - change the Title to Joe's Wheelchair Repairs and Accessories and the same search would result in Joe's site being listed on the main search page immediately under the Category matches.

Please do NOT enter your title ALL IN CAPS, and do NOT enter keywords into this section.  Submissions with all caps and/or keywords in this field will be deleted.

DESCRIPTION Field:
The maximum length of your description is 300 characters.  The same logic applies to Desriptions.  The more RELEVANT information you can put in your description, the higher your search result placement will be.

Please Do Not Capitalize Every Word and please do not enter non alpha numeric symbols, extra punctuation, carriage returns, html or sales/marketing slogans.

KEYWORDS Field:
Maximum number of keywords is 30.  This is the last chance to get your site listed in a search result.  Use this space to enter keywords that pertain to your site but have not been used in other fields.  Separate your keywords and phrases with commas (not spaces) and do not repeat words that are already in your TITLE or DESCRIPTION.
