Frequently asked
What is Anchor83?
Anchor83 is a free, catalogued web directory. It holds records for 829 approved websites arranged across 22 classified sections, from automotive and dental services to travel and technology. The directory is maintained in the tradition of the reference librarian, with each submission receiving a brief review before filing.
Is it free to list my site?
Yes, entirely. Submission to Anchor83 carries no charge, and there is no fee to appear in the catalogue. Anchor83 operates as an open reference archive.
How are sites organised in the catalogue?
The Anchor83 register is divided into 22 sections, each covering a distinct subject area — from Wagering Houses & Recreational Games and Medical Practice & Therapeutic Wellbeing through to Journeys, Transit & Foreign Destinations. Each submitted site is assigned to the section that best matches its content.
How do I submit a site?
Visit the submission form on the Add a Site page. Select the most appropriate section, supply your site's address, a brief title, and a short description. The entry will be reviewed and, if accepted, filed in the register.
Do you review submissions before they appear?
Yes. Each submission is briefly assessed to confirm the domain is active, the content is broadly consistent with the chosen section, and no obvious problems are present. The review is lightweight — Anchor83 is a directory, not an editorial publication.
How long does it take for a new entry to appear?
Most entries are reviewed and either filed or declined within a reasonable period. Anchor83 does not operate a real-time indexing system; the catalogue is updated on an ongoing basis rather than instantaneously.
Can I update or correct my listing?
If you need to amend the details of an existing entry — for example, because your site has moved to a new address — please use the contact form to notify us. We will locate the record and update it accordingly.
About the Anchor83 Index
Anchor83 is a web directory maintained in the archivist tradition, holding records for 829 approved websites arranged across 22 classified sections. Each entry in the Anchor83 register has been assigned to a section after a brief review of the site's content and active status. The archive is free to consult and free to submit to; no payment is required to appear in the catalogue. Unlike automated link aggregators, Anchor83 applies a minimal human assessment to each submission before filing. The result is a directory of reasonable quality and breadth, useful as a starting point for web research across a range of subjects.
