SPAM guidelines
WebsitePromotionCenter.com is not responsible for indexing a URL if we detect evidence of misuse of our service. Misuse of services may take the form of any deceptive, misleading or otherwise inappropriate act or web page designed to undermine (a) our services, or (b) the validity or credibility of Search Engine results. Acts of Spamming and Churning may take many forms, all of which fall within the scope of "misuse." The following are examples of forms of Spamming:
- URL's which harm accuracy, diversity or relevance of search results
- URL's whose sole purpose is to direct the user to another page
- URL's which have substantially the same content as other pages
URL's for sites with numerous, unnecessary virtual hostnames
- URL's for pages which automatically generate other pages of little value
- URL's for pages that use methods to artificially inflate search engine ranking
- URL's for pages that hide or disguise text from the user
- Spider spoofing - serving a different page to a spider to index than is served to the real user (cloaking)
- Cross-linking sites excessively, to inflate a site's apparent popularity
- URL's for pages built primarily for the search engines (Doorway)

- URL's for pages that are deceptive, fraudulent or provide a poor user experience
- Abusing META keyword tags and/or META Descriptions
