Frequently Asked QuestionsQ. Does inclusion in Scotsmart Directory imply that the site is genuine in what it appears to offer? A. Definitely not! We take no responsibility for the quality or service provided by sites we list whether Sponsor, Affiliate or Basic. We do visit each site submitted to appraise its suitability of in terms of being Scottish in character and not pornographic or subversive. If you do find a site which you feel does not belong, please let us know (webmaster@scotsmart.com). The general information published on www.scotsmart.com Scottish Directory has not necessarily been tested, reviewed or validated first hand by the Publisher. We rely upon information provided to us by third parties. The Publisher disclaims all liability for the accuracy of the information contained herein and will not be responsible for any damage or loss that may be sustained directly or indirectly by any person, individual, company or organisation as a result of their reliance in whole or in part on any information contained in this publication. Q. Where does Scotsmart Search gets it's results ? A. From the Scotsmart Directory with approx. 5000 listings. Webmaster Questions Q. How do I submit a site to Scotsmart ? A. Firstly find the category page which you believe best suits your site. Then click the "Submit Site" link at the page bottom. Q. How can I improve my website's position in Scotsmart Category pages? A. Become an Affiliate by placing a prominent link back to Scotsmart. Q. I have linked to Scotsmart but my site isn't showing near the page top as an Affiliate? A. Affiliate status is awarded for incoming traffic to Scotsmart rather than simply a link. To prevent people claiming Affiliate status simply by placing a link to Scotsmart on a low traffic page within their site, Scotsmart must detect incoming traffic from your site arriving at it's home page. Only while we detect traffic from your site will you be awarded Affiliate status. When your site is raised to Affiliate you will receive traffic from Scotsmart. It is only fair that you send some in the other direction back to Scotsmart. We are not greedy, but expect to detect around one visitor from you per fortnight. Also.... if you use domain forwarding ie. you have a domain registered which redirects to your site which is hosted under another domain, you must tell us because we have no way of matching your entry in Scotsmart to the incoming traffic from a site which we don't know about. Example: you tell us www.greatkiltshere.com but you host at homepages.something/~greatkilts - we need to be told these are the same. Q. My listing moves around the page, sometimes near the top, middle or bottom. Why? A. Each time the Category pages are rebuilt the order is randomly changed. Since listings near the top are clicked most often, this cycling of position gives every listing a chance. The only exceptions are for Sponsors where the top positions can be purchased. Q. I have never submitted my site to Scotmart but it's listed in a category already. Why? A. About 3% of the directory listings have been added by the webmaster. These have tended to be .org .ac & .gov type sites rather than businesses. The object has been to widen the scope and content of the directory. Any questions? Email info@scotsmart.com
