Graal



Following these guidelines will allow us to add your site to the directory as quickly as possible.

  • You must use the real URL, no forwarding URLs.
  • Create a brief description, under 50 words, listing the current content of your site (not the future content)
  • Do not use first person verbiage (we, our, us).
  • Do not use marketing verbiage. (We're the best!, Most awesome site, Check it Out!)
  • Avoid using terms such as: much more, lots, more, or anything else that would indicate that there is more to your site than what is in the description. Take the time to list out what the site has instead of using these terms.
  • Your description should look like the ones in the rest of the category. If they don't you did something wrong and you need to fix it.



    • All sites dealing primarily with GraalOnline can be submitted to this category.
