All comments, questions and suggestions are welcome, I respond to most items quickly.
Requests to change or correct current listings are given highest priority and must be emailed
to  from an address at the domain to be updated; SUBJ:correction.
New link suggestions uninformed by the instructions below will be discarded.

When suggesting a link for inclusion:
Don't forget to include the link! Tell me which category or page(s) you prefer,
those listed in the column to the left are the only categories currently being updated.
Suggestions for other categories will not be discarded but the wait could be very long.
There are no plans to add new categories at this time, but a refinement and restructuring of the current
categories is a priority.
Suggestions are queued for review by category and are added in batches on a rotating 45-60 day schedule.
I do not send notifications of inclusion but will acknowledge your suggestion and provide the current category updating
schedule. If your suggestion does not appear in a timely manner you may resubmit and ask why your link was
rejected. Multiple submissions within a 60 day period will be counter-productive. I am continually
improving my procedures so updates may occur more often than scheduled.
There are no paid listings, link exchanges or affiliate arrangements, links are selected by merit. You may of
course, link back to the AndiFashion site but reciprocity is never asked or given and this has no effect on whether your site
is listed.
Ads may be placed on this site with
Google AdWords.
Additional, optional information about how and why listings are added or denied
This directory was not built from suggestions. Mostly it was harvested directly from the internet
using automated processes and refined with human editing. Sorting individual suggestions from the spam
is an inefficient way to process listings for the directory. However, I do understand the difficulties
that a business faces in gaining exposure and will accept suggestions. I am pleased to have the opportunity to help worthwhile
businesses, don't be discouraged if I mistakenly fail to see your potential the first time. If your site is rejected for
whatever reason I'll be happy to work with you and explain what I think is the problem. Some categories are very
competitive and growing too large. In general there are now higher standards
for inclusion than in the past and the larger categories are being culled. You may want to point out
why your site offers more than the sites currently listed.
Sites with mostly affiliate links, sites that sell item
merchandise or sites with a very small selection of non-unique items are not acceptable and won't make the cut. Sites that
disable right click or use layering, images, scripts or flash files to impede copy and paste are at a disadvantage for inclusion.
These devices won't stop image thieves but will annoy your legitimate users. Fear of image or text thieves is a preposterous conceit,
very few images are worth stealing in the first place and an actual thief would have to be monumentally dim-witted to be deterred by these devices.
Elaborate long-running flash introductions no matter how artistic or entertaining, particularly those without a "skip intro" option, are also a disadvantage for inclusion.
Please note that flash sites without meta-descriptions in the source don't do well in search engines either. If your site does
not adequately describe itself with text that can be copied and pasted you should include a description here, please keep it under 360
characters including spaces and punctuation You may include a longer description but it will be edited down to ~360 chars.
Ecommerce sites, that is those that accept payments, which have neither physical location nor customer service
phone listed are no longer eligible for inclusion. Such listings currently included are
being eliminated. If your site has no general location (city or country) or customer service phone
shown you may provide them here, these will become a part of the Andilinks/andiFashion listing.
An anonymous domain registration is not a disadvantage if you disclose your identity, location etc. on the site.
If a site is very new and appears that improvements may be under way it
will remain at the head of the queue for the following update cycle and I will continue to check back on it if it remains promising.
Aesthetics, taste or social class are seldom a reason
for rejection or inclusion though these do influence category placement (and the future refinements of categories).
This directory is for all people who wear clothing but "directing" is the operative verb and future category divisions will
put the user's convenience ahead of other considerations. Ease of site navigation, good design and general
credibility as a business are factors favoring inclusion. Thank you for indulging this list of my pet-peeves. 
Note too that they all unabashedly discriminate in favor of the customer-user.
