Shinji246 is web crapShinji246 is web crapShinji246 is web crap
What Category should my site fall under?

Hey all my website is based on contest, it's a forum for getting help winning the contests that you enter

however every time i go to add my link to a directory i am lost and cannot decide what section to put my link under because it is kind of different from the normal categories.

votervirus.com is my site, sign up for the forum if you need to see what type of things go on there, i think i explained it well enough

thanks in advance for your help

When you are purely mentioning that it is a forum, why would you add it to an entertainment category?
In most of the directories, you would find the category - Internet > Forums

It's the best place where you can submit it in my view.

uhhh fastreplies is fast!

Had a think about this one myself...forums is such a general category hat you do get lumped in with everyone else...but at the end of the day, it is a forum...so into "Forums" it should go!

Very true...but would you lump a forum in the same category as a website? Not sure on this point, I see a forum as a separate entity to a website or blog.

Quite good concept

Your site is unique and has tremendous chance of becoming famous.

As far as categories are concerned you can choose, Entertainment, Online Games, Fun, Internet-> Forum.

or you can search in directory by typing main keyword there, you can see various theme related sites in a particular category.

This will make a clear picture in your mind.
