All websites seeking initial inclusion in The-Link-List.com must be submitted by the owner, the owner must submit their site only once and with a legitimate email address, no webmail addresses (such as Yahoo or Hotmail) are allowed. Submitting your membership application begins the review process, and you will be notified via email to the address that you provided, within one week (often sooner) whether or not your site has been accepted into The-Link-List.com. By clicking the "submit" button and sending your application to The-Link-List.com global resource network, you are stating that you agree to abide by and that you understand all of the Terms of Inclusion and all content written on this page.

Submitted sites and the sites that they link to may not contain pornography, abusive or offensive language, copyrighted or otherwise stolen content, discriminatory material, or content that encourages the harm, hatred toward or exploitation of any person or group. [This includes your password, which is stored on our site, description of your site that's displayed on other sites, etc. No profanity allowed!]
