How Not to Submit Multiple Pages/Sites

Many of you have read the T&C at CBD-Search and realise that we accept:

  • 1 submission per website.
  • 1 website per organisation. 1 website per topic/subject per individual.
  • 1 website per reseller of online services which produce similar sites for each of their resellers.
  • [usually] Only the main page of the site. If another page is submitted, we change the submission to point to the sites main page.

This, of course, is up to us, and we have adopted this policy so that we do not get swamped with hundreds of pages from the same site, or hundreds of nearly identical sites.

But, sometimes I feel for people as they seem to be putting so much time and effort into trying to break the rules when there are better ways to achieve a better result. But, in days past, when we used to spend time e-mailing these people and explaining why their submissions (sometimes 10-15 per day) were being rejected, they rarely ceased their activities.

Some of the most common techniques Christians are currently using to try and circumvent the CBD-Search rules are:

  • Regularly submitting various pages from their site, often from different user IDs.
  • Hosting site pages at various different URLs so that the URLs are not common between submissions.
  • And my personal favourite: Submitting a site that is different and unique, and then after the submission is accepted, moving the URL to point to an Internet Reseller account or an existing site.

Naturally, to minimise wasted time on SPAM submissions, and invalid submissions like those listed above, we write our system so as to automatically weed out the majority of invalid submissions; and those that sometimes do get through, are quickly deleted when our error is discovered. If a potentially rejectable submission is encountered, CBD-Search explains why to the administrator, and shows the website(s) that have the same content/details/links, making it very easy and quick for the administrator to delete the submission.

This problem is not a particular issue for us, but I feel to write and explain for the few who may not have read the T&C and may not understand why their submissions are continually being rejected.

As you will know, once your submission is accepted to be included for free at CBD-Search, there are a variety of services that you can use to further raise your submissions profile, all at very low cost (some are nearly free).
