Can I become an editor?

Yes, you can! If you have a basic  knowledge of thematic web directories, how to insert and edit weblinks and you  have enough of your own time to do what it takes.

  1. Before you send your application to become an editor please look through the site  wether the category you would like to edit is free. If there is no such category in our  directory you're welcome to suggest one. We'll sort the rest out for you, ie: open a directory,  register the new domain (http: anycategory.wywlinks.com) and when it's all done you'll receive  a welcome email from us containing your Username and Password and that's it.

  2. The benefit of being an editor of wywlinks.com is that you get the advertising spaces on the pages  that you're editing. You can use these advertising spaces to promote your own websites, or you can sell  them, it's up to you. You will have total controll over the links that are submitted to you as well but  complying with our terms and conditions of course. That means you should only approve a link if there is a  good quality website behind it and not containing any unlawful content.

  3. Choose a category in the directory that you've got some knowledge about and would find enjoyable to organize  and edit. You will have to create at least 15 subcategories in your chosen main category. Think well before you  build up your site's structure (Categories and sub-categories), the site must be user-friendly, in simple words,  easy to use. Your site will be launched when you've created the minimum of 15 categories and submitted at least  150 links in total into these categories. It is important that there is no category left without any links listed in  it. Do NOT approve or submit links that are linked to poor quality websites. Our interest and yours as a WYW editor as  well is to only list good quality websites in our directory. If you have no experience in this type of work check out  other WYW pages to get an idea (ie.: Motoring.wywlinks.com)  but don't be a copy-cat, make your pages unique, they represent the real value. Get your first links out of search  engines. Sooner or later as your page becomes more popular webmasters and website owners will storm you with their  links for submission.


  4. So if you're interested to become a WYW Editor and feel committed to create a good quality WYW page, don't hesitate,  apply to be an editor now.
