Guidelines for
entering a new site
Use initial caps in titles. Exp: Free Tools for
Webmasters
Be objective in your summary. Avoid judgments like
"this is the best", "the greatest", "the most
popular", avoid exclamation marks (!)
Describe the features of the site - does it have news,
pictures, articles, a searchable database, etc.?
Spelling counts. Proofread your summaries.
Write a good Web site description in 250 characters or
less.
Start the description with a one-sentence overview of
the site's main purpose.
Concentrate on 2-3 key aspects of the site.
Mention something that makes the site unique or
exceptional.
-
Suggestions of how to evaluate sites. Criteria to use.
Look at five things when evaluating a Web site's
quality.
1. Content. The site should be interesting,
entertaining or informative.
2. Currency. Is the content current and frequently
updated? There are sites, however, that are no longer
updated and can be Very Good sites because of their
historical, archival or Web cultural icon
significance. If so, indicate this in your summary.
Originality. Does the site complement the existing
sites within that topic?
3. Originality is based on both a) originality of
content and b) originality of site design or enabling
interactivity
4. Usability. Is the site easy to use, have an
intelligible navigation structure and is it compatible
with the popular browsers?
5. Layout/Graphics. Look at the site's design and
aesthetics.
-
How to title a Web site.
There are a few things you need to know when entering
Web site titles.
1. Use the name of the site or company only, do not
add a description. Leave that for the description
field. For example, a site title might say: "Online
Paperclips - Tacks & Office Supplies". Use "Online
Paperclips" instead.
2. Edit a general title to indicate the source of the
page to help clarify the title. For example, a USA
Today page might be titled simply "Weather Page". Edit
the title to read "USA Today: Weather Page."
3. Each site title within the same topic should be
unique since duplicate titles confuse the user. In
order to avoid duplicate titles, include additional
information in the title such as the domain name,
newspaper or magazine name. Examples:
Salon Magazine: Britney Spears
FirstCut: Britney Spears
4.Avoid use of "A", "The", and "Welcome to" in the
beginning of a title, unless absolutely necessary.
Incorrect: The Computer digest Almanac
Correct: Computer Digest Almanac
And for proper titles, do the following: "Mummy, The"
or "Bug's Life, A".
