To keep the armchair.ie directory of Irish shops running smoothly and to assist us in exercising our editorial discretion, we have set up policies for submitting sites for our consideration. We may reject, delete, or edit submissions that violate these policies or that we otherwise believe, in our sole discretion, should not be included in the directory. We may also reject, delete, or block other sites that we believe to be associated with a user who has violated these policies.

You should take a few moments to understand these policies and the steps to submit a site before you begin. Failure to understand and follow these instructions generally will result in the rejection of a submission.

1. Step One (Optional)

   You may login to your account first. If you do not have one, you can register for free. By logging into your account before submitting your Irish shopping website, you will be able to manage all your listings from within the user control panel. Then you may also upgrade your listings to become premium or sponsored listing.

2. Step Two

   Determine whether a site is appropriate for submission.

   • Do not submit mirror sites. Mirror sites are sites that contain identical content, but have altogether different URLs.
   • Do not submit URLs that contain only the same or similar content as other sites you may have listed in the directory. Sites with overlapping and repetitive content are not helpful to users of the directory. Multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites.
   • We have a policy against the inclusion of sites with illegal content.
   • Do not submit sites "under construction." Wait until a site is complete before submitting it.
   • We will check that all pages where credit card information is supplied by customers is secured with an SSL certificate
   • Affiliate sites are not permitted.
   • Sites that provide information on products but do not allow users to buy from them will not be listed
    
3. Step Three

   Do a quick search in the directory to be sure your site isn't already listed.

4. Step Four

   Identify the best category for your site. We have a growing number of shopping categories for you to choose from. You should submit a site to the most relevant category. Sites submitted to inappropriate or unrelated categories may be rejected or removed.

5. Step Five

   Once you've selected the best category for your site, go directly to that category and then click "Add a Listing" Follow the instructions on the submission form carefully. Descriptions of sites should describe the content of the site concisely and accurately. Please refrain from using promotional language or pricing information as we will simply remove it.
