ENTRY FORM

This directory is open to all businesses and organizations using the Web to get results (not hobby pages and not personal pages). We're looking for sites that have in fact achieved results -- if your site is brand new, wait a few months before contacting us.

We don't care if your site is "cool" -- we want to know if it produces results: the kind of results you are looking for.

Please save and fill out the attached form and email to seltzer@samizdat.com (Sorry for the low-tech, no forms approach. Remember, we're in startup mode.)

Best wishes.

Richard Seltzer
