How will I benefit from a fast inclusion?

There are several ways to benefit by being included in Gimpsy as soon as possible:

• Traffic - visitors to YOUR site: The number of searches and referrals made by Gimpsy increases all the time. Check the Gimpsy position in the traffic league table maintained here: http://www.freewebsubmission.com. Obviously, the sooner you are accepted, the sooner you are likely to get traffic from Gimpsy.
• Search Engines included: Gimpsy is regularly and comprehensively spidered by all the main search engines: Google, Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, DuckDuckGo, Ask.com and AOL.com. The sooner you are included in Gimpsy, the sooner Search Engines will find YOUR site and spider it too.
• A quality Back Link: Almost every search engine, and Google in particular (even if it does not declare this for later time), judges the popularity of a site by the number of links pointing to it. Being included in Gimpsy provides a valuable back link.

How will I benefit from being promoted in Gimpsy?

The percentage of click-throughs in Gimpsy depending of position in the search results is following:
First position - 14%, second - 11%, third - 9%, fourth - 8%,... seventh - 5%,... tenth - 4%.
Nearly 70% of all the clicks in Gimpsy are made on the first 10 sites!
Depending of the selected Gimpsy Promotion option, your site will occupy a top position from 75 to 280 days . It will be awarded a 'Golden star' and be shown on a highlighted background. As evident from the table above, it stands an excellent chance of being picked up and clicked on.

What is the feature of the Lite Promotion?

Unlike the Premium or Standard Promotion Plan, where you pay the full amount all at once, the Lite Promotion is a limited time subscription. Instead of the full amount you will pay 2.99 USD every month, 4 times. Gimpsy will approve or decline the suggestion within 75 days after receiving the first payment. If the site is declined, the subscription will end and no refund will be issued; if the site is approved, it will appear in Gimpsy immediatelly.

After we receive all 4 payments, the subscription will end and the site, as long as it is still suitable, will remain in Gimpsy indefinitely.

Please note that if you interrupt subscription on any stage, the approved site will be delisted from Gimpsy and no refund will be issued. If you decide at a later date to suggest the same site to Gimpsy, you will be required to start from the beginning; No previous payments made to Gimpsy will be taken into account.

What happens if no decision is reached within the promised time?

Gimpsy is perhaps the first and only directory to back up its service agreement with Site Owners, with a full money back guarantee . Should the editorial team fail to reach a final verdict within the allotted time, the review payment will be refunded in full . If the site is subsequently approved, it will still enjoy the same privileges as if it was approved on time. Under no circumstances will the refund amount exceed the sum initially paid to Gimpsy.

What happens if my site is declined?

Unlike most other directory, Gimpsy refunds part of the payment with the Premium Promotion Option . The refund is issued in recognition of the reduced work load for Gimpsy when a site is rejected. At the moment, the amount refunded is currently 49 USD.

Do you use different acceptance criteria for paying submissions?

Not at all! Each submitted site gets the same exhaustive scrutiny by the Editorial Team. Gimpsy will only accept suitable sites. There will be no compromises on the integrity of the search results in Gimpsy. To clarify: The payment is for the expedited review and promotion of accepted sites - not for inclusion.

As a promoted site with a 'Golden Star', is my position in the category fixed?

Having a 'Golden Star' implies that your site will always rank above non-promoted sites and sites with a 'Blue Star'. However, when newer sites are promoted, these sites will rank higher. Every new site that is accepted to that category 'pushes down' all the other sites in the same promotion level.

Will I get any additional benefits by linking to Gimpsy from my site?

Indeed you will! Sites that link to us can get a much longer promotion period. The exact time frame is decided on a case by case basis.
