The Ganoksin Industry website Guide is a web directory of Internet resources of the Gem and jewelry Industries. A web directory is something akin to a huge reference library. The directory is hierarchically arranged by subject - from broad to specific. The Ganoksin's website Guide is maintained by editors who evaluate sites for inclusion in the directory. All submissions are subject to editor evaluation.

We care a great deal about the quality of the Ganoksin's website Guide. We pride ourselves on being highly selective. We don't accept all sites, so please don't take it personally should your site not be accepted. Our goal is to make the directory as useful as possible for the Gem and jewelry Industry, not to have the directory include all (or even most) of the sites that could possibly be listed or serve as a promotional tool for the entities listed.

To keep the Ganoksin's websites Guide running smoothly and to assist us in exercising our editorial discretion, we have set up policies for submitting sites for our consideration. We may reject, delete, or edit submissions that violate these policies or that we otherwise believe, in our sole discretion, should not be included in the directory. We may also reject, delete, or block other sites that we believe to be associated with a user who has violated these policies.

You should take a few moments to understand these policies and the steps to submit a site before you begin. Failure to understand and follow these instructions generally will result in the rejection of a submission.

We kindly ask you to return a link back to Ganoksin from your site. click here for more information.

Step 1

Determine whether a site is appropriate for submission to the Ganoksin's website Guide:

1. Do not submit mirror sites. Mirror sites are sites that contain identical content, but have altogether different URLs.
2. Do not submit URLs that contain only the same or similar content as other sites you may have listed in the directory. Sites with overlapping and repetitive content are not helpful to users of this guide. Multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites.
3. Do not disguise your submission and submit the same URL more than once.
   Example: http://www.yourdomain.com and http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html.
4. Do not submit any site with an address that redirects to another address.
5. the Ganoksin's websites Guide has a policy against the inclusion of sites with illegal content. Examples of illegal material include material that infringes any intellectual property right; and material that specifically advocates, solicits or abets illegal activity (such as fraud or violence).
6. Do not submit sites "under construction." Wait until a site is complete before submitting it. Sites that are incomplete, contain "Under Construction" notices, or contain broken graphics or links aren't good candidates for the the guide. .
7. Don't submit sites consisting largely of affiliate links.

You are now ready to fill the new resource suggestion form. Follow the instructions on the submission form carefully.

Descriptions of sites should describe the content of the site concisely and accurately. They should not be promotional in nature.

Submitting a promotional description rather than an objective, well written description may significantly delay your site from being listed or prevent your site from being listed at all.

Procedure After Your Site is Submitted

A Ganoksin's website Guide editor will review your submission to determine whether to include it in the directory. Depending on factors such as the volume of submissions to the particular category, it may take several weeks or more before your submission is reviewed.

Please only submit a URL once. Again, multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites. Disguising your submission and submitting the same URL more than once is not permitted.

Updating Your Site

If a site has been accepted for inclusion in the guide but you are dissatisfied with how the site is described or titled, you may contact us explaining your disagreement. Be polite and civil -- threatening or abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

But please remember that we must exercise our discretion and make numerous judgment calls as to how to make the Ganoksin's website Guide as useful as possible -- no matter what decision we make, we may not always satisfy everyone.

About Editorial Discretion

Please recognize that making the Ganoksin's website Guide a useful resource requires us to exercise broad editorial discretion in determining the content and structure of the directory. That discretion extends (but is not limited) to what sites to include, where in the directory sites are placed, whether and when to include more than one link to a site, when deep linking is appropriate, and the content of the title and description of the site. In addition, a site's placement in the guide is subject to change or deletion at any time at our sole discretion. You should not rely on any aspect of a site's inclusion in the guide.

Please understand that our exercise of discretion may not always treat all submissions equally. You may not always agree with our choices, but we hope you recognize that we do our best to make fair and reasonable decisions.

We at Ganoksin welcome comments and feedback. Please let us know what you think, and how we can improve our service.
