It joins the queue
Your domain goes straight onto the list of sites waiting to be looked at. Nothing to sign, nobody to email.
Submit a domain
Know a site worth
reading?
Put it in the queue. Anything with real content that people would want to find — documentation, research, reference, reporting, an organisation's own site — is worth suggesting. You don't need to own it, and you don't need an account.

What happens next
queued → checked → read → searchable02
It gets checked
Sites are reviewed before reading starts, so the index stays worth searching. Reference, documentation, research, news and ordinary company sites all pass easily.
03
Reading begins
Once accepted, reading starts from the pages the site publishes for search engines, at a pace that stays out of its way.
04
It becomes searchable
Pages become answerable as they're read, not after a rebuild. You'll see the domain appear on the live status page.
Every domain in the queue is visible on the live status page — including yours, once it's through.
Why domains, not pages
the usual questionA page on its own doesn't know very much.
It's the obvious thing to ask: why not just submit the URL you care about? Because a page is a fragment of an argument the rest of the site is making. Take it out of the site and you keep the words but lose what they meant.
Submitting the domain gets your page read regardless — along with the glossary that defines its terms, the caveats it assumes you've seen, and the pages that supersede it later.
A page alone has no context
One page rarely explains itself. The definitions are in the glossary, the caveats are in the FAQ, the detail is three links deeper. Read in isolation, a page produces confident answers with the qualifications missing.
Answers usually span several pages
A real question tends to be answered by a documentation section, not a single page of it. Holding the whole site means an answer can draw on the part that actually addresses the question.
Sites change; pages move
URLs get renamed, split and redirected. Following a site keeps it current as it evolves, where a single saved URL quietly rots.
It's clearer for the site
Following a whole site is a more transparent arrangement than lifting one page out of it — the site shows up in our logs as one identifiable visitor working through it, not as scattered one-off hits.
Questions
04- Do I have to own the domain to submit it?
- No. Anyone can suggest a site worth reading. If you do own it, there's a separate route that gets your site read directly and kept fresh with priority — see the partner page.
- Can I submit a single page instead?
- Not through this form. Submissions are per-domain because a page read on its own tends to lose the context that makes it useful. Submitting the domain gets that page read anyway, along with everything around it that explains it.
- How long until it's indexed?
- Accepted domains normally begin being read within minutes rather than days. How long a whole site takes depends on its size and how fast it's happy to be read.
- What if my domain is turned down?
- Some sites aren't a fit — link shorteners, tracking domains, storefront spam and anything with no readable content. The form tells you at the time rather than leaving you waiting.
If it's your site
Owners get more say than this.
Suggesting a domain is the anonymous route. If the site is yours, you can decide how it's read, be read directly with priority and real-time freshness, or ask us not to read it at all.
