Nominate a Site for Listing at MetrologyMetro
Important! If you are the site's owner or webmaster (i.e. have site authority),
please use the Submit Link
form.
Please read and adsorb all thoughts on this page. Doing so
will make the submission process less stressful for all parties involved.
The MetrologyMetro ("MM") directory is organized by
category. Most sites in it are suggested by users and visitors like yourself. Sites
are placed in categories by MM, who visits and evaluates your suggestions and decides
where they best belong (or if they belong at all). This is to ensure that MM is
organized in the best possible way, making the directory easy to use, intuitive, helpful,
and fair to everyone.
Please note that MM is a directory of sites that contain
information pertaining to metrology, calibration, and quality. If the site that
you are nominating does not contain metrological information, please do not submit
it. Also, please do not nominate a site to MM if it does not meet MM's guidelines,
which are listed below.
Guidelines
In order to add a site to MetrologyMetro, the
following rules/conditions
must be fulfilled and adhered to:
- MM must be able to view the
main/title/entrance page before it will be listed.
- Only sites that are of good quality and pertinent content will be added. The site must also contain a "significant amount" of
metrological information. By that, we mean, a visitor to the site should feel that
the visit was not a waste of his/her time. Use your own discretion when submitting a
site.
- If the site consists of tons of ad
banners, it will be considered commercial, and listed in the commercial section.
These rules are subject to change without notice. Any site that
blatantly violates them will find their listing(s) permanently
removed from the database!
Below is a list of categories that you need to choose from to nominate a web
site(s) for listing consideration. By clicking on the appropriate category, you will
be transported to a category specific submission page. All that MM requests is that
you first follow the brief steps listed below. By doing
so, you will: a) avoid submitting a listed URL, and; b) expedite the submission and
listing process.
Note 1: Nominating
a site(s) does not guarantee that it will be listed. Final listing decisions are
completely at MM's discretion (including the category where the link will appear, and all
of the descriptive text). Do not fret. If the site is metrologically legitimate,
and the site's owner permits it to be listed --- it will be listed!
With this in mind, MM asks that you follow three simple, yet
important steps if you have a site (URL) that you would like to suggest:
Step 1: Check to See if the Site is Already Listed in MetrologyMetro.
An important first step, because if the site is already listed in MetrologyMetro, you need
go no further. Check by searching MetrologyMetro for the site, by title, by browsing
appropriate categories, or by using the Search This Site form.
Step 2: Find the Appropriate Category in MetrologyMetro.
Finding an appropriate category for the site is at the heart of this process. Remember
that MM visits each site suggested, and proper categorization on your part helps MM to
process suggestions quickly.
What is an appropriate category? Click
here to read a list of important pointers explaining how MM organizes the directory.
When you click on the appropriate category, you will see an online form asking for
information about the site and organization. Please be prepared to provide, among
other information, the site's title, URL, and a brief description. Remember that the final
placement of the site is determined by MM.
Step 3. Choose the Appropriate Category for the Site From the List Below
If you agree with the conditions/guidelines,
then please continue. If you believe that the organization falls into a category that
is not on the list, choose one that most closely approximates it. You can suggest a
new category in the "Site Nomination" form.
Finally, thank you for the site nomination and for contributing to MetrologyMetro! By
following the above steps (in order, no less!) you're helping MM to process sites in a
timely manner. Now, on to the Categories...
