• Be sure to review the sub-category descriptions, if available, to determine whether your site is appropriate to that category or sub-category.
• Review the site descriptions of the entries in the category to which you intend to submit. Prepare your description in advance. Please do not just send us your META description.

This category covers English-language websites about Iraq.

Arabic websites are not and will not be listed here. These can be found in World/Arabic

Please submit sites which are entirely in Hebrew to World/Hebrew.
If you are submitting a multilingual site here, please submit the page URL for the English language entry page.

You will notice that few sites are accepted at this level. We highly recommend that you browse through the sub-categories and look for a more specific location in which to place your site.

Submitting to the wrong category will delay your site's placement in the Open Directory Project.

Multiple submissions, repeat submissions, submission of mirror sites and similar techniques, with the intention of 'forcing' a higher placement on the directory are most unwelcome and unnecessary.
Such behavior will almost certainly delay, if not completely prevent, your submission being listed.(See the ODP terms of service)
The ODP is a HUMAN edited directory with the motto "Humans do it better" - all submissions are therefore reviewed and edited fairly so that all sites submitted are listed equally.
