SUGGESTION BOX
| It is possible that you never submit
your site to us and that the staff of the
Westfrom World Rankings recognizes your site
due to its reputation, quality, and/or media
notice --- but this can be somewhat rare due to
the fact that so few rise to big time attention
in our underground world. That being said,
Westfrom World Rankings can be an
excellent launching tool if you are a newer
website (only qualified websites which have been
up for 6 months are considered) and want to
attract new audiences. With over 1 Million
visitors who have been counted since our
creation in 2005, Westfrom World Rankings
remains a very popular, very influential eating
disorder ranking website catering to a
world-wide audience. We appreciate your
time in submitting your website, forum, blog, or
other media submission, or on the behalf of
someone else because it gives us a chance to
review a great website and offer it to our
diverse and large population of dedicated and
regular website viewers.

SPECIFIC
REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES
| All website, forum, blog, YouTube, or other
media submissions are accepted to the Westfrom
World Rankings. There is no limit to how
many you may submit to us and no deadlines.
We do, however, have two specific Quarters in
which we publish new rankings and sites are
therefore only considered to be displayed on the
site before these rankings are published.
QUARTER 1
... December 2007.
Publish Date,
November 2007.
QUARTER 2
... June 2007.
Publish Date, May
2007.
| Although we encourage all kinds of submissions, there are
recommendations to what you should submit to us.
All work should be related to eating disorders, it
does not matter if it is pro-anorexia,
pro-bulimia, or recovery; it can be any subject
matter.
| Side Note:
When submitting, be aware that the "Top 75 Best
Eating Disorder Websites" category is by far the
most selective on our website. Scores
under 20 (RS) are typically not accepted to the
list. Additionally, the "Top 25 Best
Eating Disorder Forums" can be quite competitive
as well and submitters should be aware that
scores under 60 (RS) are usually not acceptable.
>
6 Month Rule
| For your site to be considered, it must,
absolutely --- without any exception be active
on the web
for 6 months*. Our reason for this is
because we believe eating disorder sites can be
a "here today, gone tomorrow hobby." Our
viewers expect perfection, quality, and content.
If you are dedicated enough to have a site for 6
months, it shows us that you are serious and we
would like you to be apart of our rankings.
* There are,
however, categories such as the Hot & Skinny Top
5 and Thin Seekers which do not require a set
time period.

Quality
Points Scoring
| All sites are scored on a level of
"Quality Points." This point system allows
us to score sites systematically on pre-set
factors, which the webmaster can gage to make
their site more dynamic. Therefore, this
number is not only useful for webmasters, but
also for the viewer. The higher point
value, the better the site. Highest
possible score, 100.
