How to Publish News to World Site Index


 

Sites listed within World Site Index web directory have the option to push news for publication within the directory, this news can be pushed live as it happens.

Note: Before you start pushing news please read our terms as by pushing news or announcements you acknowledge you have read and agree to abide by these terms. Abuse will not be tolerated and will result in removal of all the abusers content and listings.

To get started your site must be listed within the directory you can locate your listing by searching on it's domain name in quotes e.g. to find the listing for http://www.tolranet.co.uk search with:

If your site isn't listed within the directory then you will need to find the most appropriate category and submit your site. If your site is accepted then you can return here and continue.

Now you have located your listing click the "More/Report/Modify" link and then click the "Modify Listing" link.

When prompted for the password enter the password you used when submitting the listing and then click "Generate Key", this will generate an access key which you will need to use each time you push a news item so note it in a safe place. If you don't know the password then you should perform a password reset and use the password that is emailed to you.

To make it easy for you to publish news items we've provided a simple form for you to complete, visit news publication form.

When you access the form you will be prompted for various pieces of information:

  • Listed Domain: This is the domain of the listed site and will be automatically filled with the domain that the form is hosted on.
  • Access Key: This is the 32 character key you created earlier on the modify listing form.
