Submitting Deep Links to Directories

Any workaround to submit deep links?

[barnetap]

I am working on a linking/directory campaign for a subsection of one of my clients. Unfortunately, it resides in a sub directory of the domain (and on a different server, i.e., www2.nomorewidgets.com/abc/index.html).

As a result, I have encountered a number of directories that are hesitant to include it, despite having no link from the main page, and having relatively unique content (though certainly related). Also, the main domain is in many of the directories (it's a major, top 100 F-500 company)

Would they accept a redirected top level domain (I highly doubt this, but hey...)? Anyone with any suggestions?

How "related" is this? And, why not just put this content on other domain without redirect?

It is a financial institution and the section I'm working on is devoted to a major service category. So while related, I feel that it is unique enough to deserve a seperate listing. Bear in mind that (1) our principle competitors have multiple listings in the major directories for the same domain (though different URLs) and (2)because the client is so large (top 5 financial services company), they are hesitant to take the content away from their domain, for whatever reason.

Sub domains are so commonly used by spammers that you’re going to be closely scrutinized and if the content isn’t what the reviewing editor considers unique in content then you will not get listed in the major Directories. Your much better off with a unique domain name with no cross links to the other site. This will get you past most editors especially if you submit them several weeks apart.

It's never a good tactic to try to get around the editors. They're pretty knowledgeable about their categories. If they find the content on both sites, they will reject one of them.

There are two approaches: (1) discuss the matter with an editor first. (2) try to sneak past the editor as well as the guidelines. The second approach can (as the submittal policies warn) result in a scorched-earth "raid on the inconsiderate" targeting any web site you've ever been associated with: I'm guessing that's not your goal. The first approach is not very likely to succeed -- only in "exceptional cases" are sites deeplinked, and "individual product line" sites (or deeplinks) are specifically NOT listed.
