- Please refrain from submitting links already on the index; search for the site first before submitting.
- Pages should be simple in design. Simple HTML, non-commercial sites are preferred.
- No Search Result Manipulation: Pages must not use scripts, CSS, or custom styling in an attempt to alter how SearchVista renders site listings or trigger special display effects.
- Strict Ranking Policy: Any attempt to manipulate or game SearchVista's ranking algorithms will result in the immediate and permanent removal of your website from the index.

Advertising Policy: We understand some site owners need ads, but ads are inherently evil.
- Ads that pop up over the text at any time are strictly prohibited.
- Ads placed in the middle of text may be rejected depending on the type of ad and whether it directly relates to the site's topic.
- It is preferred that ads are placed on the right side of the text (left side is also acceptable).
- Don't submit bloated websites.
- Avoid submitting multiple tens of pages from one website.
- Your page should contain at least 5 words of text.
- In most cases parent directories will not be crawled.
