Submit a Site to the Kids and Teens Open Directory

 Thank you for your interest in the Open Directory Project. Submitting a site is easy, but before you
 proceed with the site submission form, we ask that you do two things. 

  1. Please take a moment to review some of our submission policies and instructions. It is important that you understand these policies.  Failure to understand and follow these policies generally will result in the rejection of a submission. 
  2. Please check to be sure that this is the single category you think your site should be listed in. The Open Directory has a rich subject tree, and it helps everyone if you search around for the best category. This also helps expedite our review of your site. 
EXAMPLE:

A site on chemistry experiments for kids should be submitted to:

      Top: Kids and Teens: School Time: Science: Chemistry
not
      Top: Kids and Teens: School Time: Science

This is an important distinction in the world of web categorization, and it insures speedy processing of your site.

Please note: We are not a search engine and pride ourselves on being highly selective. We don't
 accept all sites, so please don't take it personally should your site not be accepted.

Kids and Teens: Entertainment: Movies
Please check the subcategories under Titles and submit your site there if appropriate. If your site concerns an animated movie, it belongs here instead.

The content of any website submitted to Kids and Teens must be suitable and of interest to young people under the age of 18.

We do not list the following types of websites in Kids and Teens:

  • Sites which provide adult oriented content.
  • Commercial websites (e.g. online stores).
  • Websites made up of affiliate links.
  • Websites aimed at parents about children.
  • Websites that are under construction, or that provide little content.

No website is guaranteed to be listed in Kids and Teens.

For more information, and to help your site be listed as soon as possible, please look here.
category description

Are you sure this is the most descriptive category for your site? If you are unsure, please take a little extra time in searching the directory and find the most appropriate category.
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, which means your site address. Example: http://dmoz.org
  • Do not add mirror sites.
  • Do not submit an URL that contains only the same or similar content as other sites you may have listed in 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 disguise your submission and submit the same URL more than once.Example: http://dmoz.org and http://dmoz.org/index.html. 
  • Do not submit any site with an address that redirects to another address.
  • The Open Directory has a policy against the inclusion of sites with illegal content. Examples of illegal material include child pornography; libel; material that infringes any intellectual property right; and material that specifically advocates, solicits or abets illegal activity (such as fraud or violence). 
  • Do not submit sites "under construction."
  • Submit pornographic sites to the appropriate category under Adult. 
  • Submit non-English sites to the appropriate category under World. 
  • Don't submit sites consisting largely of affiliate links. 
Please supply a short and descriptive title.
  • Always opt for the official name of the site.
  • Do not use ALL CAPITAL letters.
  • Exclude promotional language in the title.
Keep the description of your site brief - no longer than 25-30 words.  A well-written, objective description will make listing your site easier.
  • Do not use any HTML tags
  • Write in complete sentences and/or descriptive phrases using proper grammar, punctuation and correct spelling.
    • Do not use ALLCAPS in your description.
    • Avoid capitalizing every word in a sentence.
    • Don't repeat the title of your site in the description.
  • Avoid using promotional language and strings of key words and search terms. Words and phrases like "cool" and "best darn site" will be removed.
    You are submitting a site to the Kids and Teens area of the Open Directory Project. Please select the age level(s) that correspond to your site's intended audience. Select all age levels that apply.

Please verify the text in the image. The text in the image and the text you submit in the input field must match. Can't read this text?

Submission Agreement

We care a great deal about the quality of the directory. Please be aware that abusive submissions will result in the removal of all sites connected with the abuser.
  • Please only submit an URL to the Open Directory once. If a site has not been listed within three weeks, you may submit it again.
  • Disguising your submission and submitting the same URL more than once is not permitted. 

    • Example: http://dmoz.org and http://dmoz.org/index.html.
  • Do not submit mirror sites. Mirror sites are sites that contain identical content, but have different URLs altogether. 
  • Avoid submitting sites with addresses that redirect to another address.
  • Submit sites to the most relevant category. Sites intentionally submitted to inappropriate or unrelated categories will be removed.
  • Wait until your site is complete before submitting your URL. Sites which are incomplete, contain "Under Construction" notices, or contain broken graphics or links aren't good candidates for the directory.
  • Sites with illegal content and pornography are forbidden in the Kids and Teens Open Directory. Examples of illegal material include, but are not limited to, child pornography and sites infringing on copyright.
  • Submit Non-English sites to the appropriate category under World.
  • Do not submit sites consisting largely of affiliate links.
