Is the Webmaster Resources Directory a "link farm"?

No. A link farm contains many automated links to many different genres of web sites without regard for organization or content. FastVirtual's webmaster resources directory is an organized directory of relevant resources, divided into meaningful categories.

Is the Webmaster Resources Directory a "free-for-all" listing?

No. A free-for-all listing is an automated listing system that simply collects links in bulk for the sole purpose of increasing link popularity. Each link submitted to the directory is manually approved before it can be placed on our links pages. It is not technically possible to use FastVirtual's webmaster resources directory to create "free for all" links pages.

Can any web site be listed in the directory?

Only web sites that we deem valuable, ethical and relevant will be listed in the directory. The following types of web sites are never accepted: web sites encouraging illegal activity or racism, sites providing instructions or discussions about performing illegal activities, sites engaged in libelous or harassing activities, sites that promote or utilize software or services designed to deliver unsolicited email, or sites that are otherwise inappropriate. If a listed web site is reported to be engaging in unethical practices, an inquiry and investigation is performed and necessary steps taken. If the allegations prove to be true, that link would be immediately removed.

Will listing my site here improve my search engine position?

Most search engines rank your site for popularity. Therefore, even though you may have a great service or product, and have fine-tuned your web pages for relevant keywords, it is unlikely you will achieve a good position unless you have other web sites linking to yours. All links listed here are favorably viewed by search engines, so yes, if your site is included this will improve your link popularity. However, just one additional link to your site will not produce dramatic results, so we suggest you establish and maintain an organized reciprocal linking campaign.

Will listing my site here subject me to spam?

No. Email addresses are not included with displayed links. We have taken great care to ensure that the directory cannot be used to forward or harvest unsolicited email.

Will anyone else have access to my contact information?

No. Your email address, name and any other information you provide is completely safe and confidential. This is required only for the purpose of communicating with you concerning your listing in the Webmaster Resources Directory, and will never be used for any other purpose. Please review our Directory Terms for more information.
