Site Rules - Please read the rules in order to have your site approved.
1. Your site must:
Be wedding related and business or commercial in nature.
Be in the English language.
Be hosted on your own domain. No My Space, GeoCities, AOL Hometown type sites or any other sitebuilder program not using your own domain can be accepted due to our unique style of scoring votes. No redirects.
Contain clear contact information including a telephone number.
NOT contain any popups or popunders.
Be html or, if flash, have an area of html to place our link so it can be found in your source code and be validated by our spider.
2. You agree to abide by our Terms of Use, Privacy & Spam policies. Top Wedding Sites® reserves the right to: edit member accounts (such as site descriptions); remove, deactivate, lock accounts without prior notice and modify these rules at any time.
3. Listing submissions must be properly formatted. No use of ALL CAPS, html code, or keyword strings.
4. Only one free listing per business owner in the US state, UK, Ireland or Canada Team Wedding site where the business is located. If you are an online business, one free listing with our USA site per business owner.
5.
You must display our link on your site. Place the link in a prominent position, on a page with 50 links or less, for optimal exposure, for the most clicks and votes. The page containing our link must be accessible to visitors with a link off your homepage. After all, if a human cannot get to your links page, then you cannot score votes and remain listed. You should use one of the Top Wedding Sites voting icons or text links that we provide. Our link must be presented on your site so that it can be indexed by search engines.
Altered links are unacceptable including those utilizing:
- JavaScript
- CGI scripting
- 302 redirects
- Other scripting languages
- Frames activation
6. Cheating, or attempts to artificially increase your ranking, (i.e. clicking your own voting link) is not allowed. Clicks from voting links are logged. Site owners click do not count. Examples of cheating would be hits generated any other way than from a physical click on a vote button or link from your site by real users.
7. FOR USA ONLY: Only the top scoring sites will appear in your category and in the search, however all active members will appear on our links pages. FOR STATE and REGIONAL SITES: All listings appear in ranked order on their category page. Inactive accounts, or accounts not receiving votes for a period of time, will be removed automatically by the program so be sure to place our link in a public position.
8. You must provide a valid email address so that Top Wedding Sites® can communicate with you when necessary. Any accounts providing an invalid email or which do not accept our mail will be removed. If you have a spam filter please be sure to add topweddingsites.com to the list of accepted domains.
9. No "top sites" programs may be submitted. Members found to be operating a competitive "top sites" wedding program or trying to list such a program will be removed without notice. All advertising agreements will be ended and no refunds of advertising will be made
