How to suggest a site to the Kitchn Recipe Finder Directory
The Kitchn Recipe Finder Directory is a web directory of recipe and food resources. A web directory is something akin to a huge reference library. The directory is hierarchically arranged by subject – from broad to specific. The Kitchn Recipe Finder Directory is maintained by editors who evaluate sites for inclusion in the directory, and all submissions are subject to editor evaluation.
We care a great deal about the quality of the Kitchn Recipe Finder Directory. 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 our users.
To keep the Kitchn Recipe Finder Directory 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.
Determine whether a site is appropriate for submission to the Kitchn Recipe Finder Directory:
- Do not submit mirror sites. Mirror sites are sites that contain identical content, but have altogether different URLs.
- Don’t submit sites consisting largely of affiliate links.
- 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 the directory. Multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites.
- Do not submit any site with an address that redirects to another address.
- 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 directory.
Do a quick search in the directory at kitchn.com.au (the home of the Kitchn Recipe Finder Directory) to be sure your site isn’t already listed.
Our editors 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 to the Kitchn Recipe Finder Directory 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.
Please recognise that making the Kitchn Recipe Finder Directory 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 directory 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 directory.
Please understand that an editor’s exercise of discretion may not always treat all submissions equally.
You may not always agree with our choices, but we hope you recognise that we do our best to make fair and reasonable decisions.
The Kitchn Recipe Finder Directory team welcomes comments and feedback about the directory generally.
Please let us know what you think, and how we can improve the service. Thanks!
