What are your listing requirements?
Sites must be launched, functioning, not contain broken links, and be directly related to the category submitted to in order to be considered for inclusion. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the directory categories before submitting your listing in order to make sure your site is relevant. Descriptions should not contain promotional text, but rather be objective and accurately descriptive of site content. Currently we only accept U.S. companies or foreign companies with divisions in the United States. We will edit listings as needed to maintain quality standards. Listings should not exceed the 200 character maximum requirement.
What should be included in the directory description?
Your description should tell the user as much about your services in as few words as possible. Include what your firm does, specific services provided, and where your firm is located, if applicable. Do not include the name of your company in the description, it will automatically be included in the link along with the category title.
Where will my listings Appear?
Standard listings appear within the "Directory Listings" section, following the "Sponsored Links" section under the category you specify. "Featured Listings" appear at the top of the directory page above the "Sponsored Links" section.
What are Featured Listings?
Featured Listings are paid listings where the advertiser has agreed to pay on a per-click (ppc) basis for traffic leads to their website. If you are interested in submitting your site as a featured listing, you need to
request a proposal as the first step.
How much does it cost to list my site as a Featured Listing?
Since you only pay for click-thrus generated to your site, the amount will vary depending on the traffic you receive. The minimum bid price is $1.00 per click, and each slot above is priced in increments of $0.25. Some categories may require a higher starting bid price. The higher the bid, the better the positioning within the directory.
Do you have preventive measures in place to protect advertisers from invalid clicks?
Yes. We have measures in place to filter out repeated clicks and prevent robots and spiders from executing links. Additionally, we monitor results on a daily basis to ensure that there are no unusual patterns in click activity. In the event that we spot any unusal activity, we immediately credit back the clicks or refund the affected advertiser. We place a very high value in the integrity of our advertising marketplace and are committed to providing quality traffic for our advertisers. As an advertiser, you can be assured that all generated traffic comes directly from the BuilderSpace.com Site, we do not work with affiliate networks in order to better control the quality of traffic.
What are Sponsored Links?
Sponsored Links are contextually relevant advertisements provided by Google. While these listings are administered and maintained by Google, users have the opportunity to directly target pages on the BuilderSpace.com site through Google AdWords. For more information on site targeting,

I've just submitted my listing. Why is it not showing?
The BuilderSpace directory is human-edited. We review all submissions to make sure they meet our requirements and make any necessary editing changes before posting your listing, usually within three business days.
My site was declined, will I receive a refund?
Please be aware that by submitting a listing you are "suggesting" a site, and that inclusion into the directory is up to the discretion of our editors. Most sites, however, are accepted without problems unless they are not relevant to the content of the directory. Please, only submit your site if it applies to at least one category within the directory. If your site submission is declined, your account will be refunded.
Will I need to resubmit my site after one year?
For standard listings you have the option of selecting the "single-payment" option, in which case you will need to resubmit your listing following expiration, or the "automatic renewal" option, in which case your account will automatically be charged on a yearly basis until you choose to discontinue your listing. It is not necessary to resubmit your listing if you select the automatic renewal option. Featured Listings campaigns remain active until cancelled.
How many clicks can I expect to receive from your site?
This varies according to category and the effectiveness of your description. We continually try to balance results by marketing categories which are underperforming more aggressively in order to improve consistency. While results cannot be predicted, you can increase the success of your listing by making your description as accurate and well-written as possible. Featured listings, because of better positioning, receive higher levels of traffic than standard listings.
