What are some things that would prevent a Web site from being included anywhere within The whatUseek Collection?

whatUseek reserves the right to deny Web sites that contain any content, products, services or other information that, in whatUseek's reasonable determination, may be illegal to sell under any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation, that may infringe or violate anyone's rights, or that whatUseek believes, in its sole discretion, is inflammatory, offensive, or otherwise inconsistent with the spirit of The whatUseek Collection.

I submitted my Web site, but I can’t find it in The whatUseek Collection. Why is this?

There are a number of reasons why you may have difficulty finding your Web site in The whatUseek Collection. If your Web site still has yet to be reviewed, it will not be included in the Collection.

Another reason could be that for your search term there are a sufficient number of other Web sites that have higher relevancy to that search query--this can push your Web site further down the search results. If you believe that this could be the case, try searching again for a term that is more specific to your site and which has been included in your approved description and/or keywords.

And, of course, if your Web site has been denied for inclusion in The whatUseek Collection, it will not come up in searches in the Collection.

By being included in The whatUseek Collection, will I be guaranteed priority placement of my Web site?

Why am I required to pay a yearly maintenance fee to keep my listing in The whatUseek Collection?

To ensure that your listing is current and is still valid, whatUseek makes it mandatory that every listing within The whatUseek Collection is re-reviewed at least once per year. This helps ensure that the most targeted traffic possible is directed to your site from The whatUseek Collection. It also ensures that any other Web sites that are no longer relevant for a given search are not placed before yours where your Web site is relevant.

How can I avoid the yearly maintenance fee?

If you would like to keep your listing in The whatUseek Collection past your current year term, it is required that you pay the maintenance fee. However, if you would like to discontinue your listing and avoid the yearly maintenance fee, you are not required to do anything. As the current year of your site's inclusion in The whatUseek Collection approaches its end, we will contact you with an invitation to renew. If you would like to continue your listing at a fraction of the initial review cost, you may do so by responding to the invitation. Otherwise, you need not respond at all.

Please note that if you cancel your account and you would like to be included in The whatUseek Collection once again in the future, you will be required to go through the initial submission process at full price.
