// Vellum22 FAQ
Is filing a site with Vellum22 free?
Yes. Filing a site costs nothing. Vellum22 does not charge for listings, boosted placement, or any premium tier. Supply a working URL and pick a column — the rest is handled by the index.
What is Vellum22?
Vellum22 is a web directory that indexes 828 sites across 22 subject columns. It operates like a wire-service dispatch board: operators file entries, editors clear them, and approved sites appear in the index in the order they were submitted.
How are sites organised in the index?
Vellum22 organises sites into 22 subject columns — from the Gaming Ledger and Health Column to the Travel File and Records Column. Within each column, entries run in submission order, most recent at the top.
How do I submit a site?
Visit the filing form at /add.php, enter a working URL, choose the subject column that best describes your site, and submit. Vellum22 will pull a description from your site and pass the entry through an editorial review. Most submissions clear within one business day.
Does Vellum22 review submissions before they appear?
Every submission passes an editorial review before appearing in the index. Vellum22 checks that the URL resolves to a working site and that the submitted column is an appropriate match. Entries that pass go live; entries that do not are held pending correction or declined.
What kinds of sites does Vellum22 accept?
Vellum22 accepts submissions from any legitimate web operator with a working URL that fits one of the 22 subject columns. The index covers commercial, professional, and informational sites across a wide range of trades and sectors.
How long does it take for a submitted site to appear?
Most submissions clear editorial review within one business day and appear in the index the same day they are approved. Submissions that require additional verification may take longer.
// About the ANCHOR
Vellum22 is a web index of 828 sites, filed across 22 subject columns and arranged in the order submissions cleared editorial review. The index operates like a wire-service dispatch board: operators file a URL, editors pass the copy, and the entry lands in the relevant column in dateline order. There is no algorithmic ranking, no paid placement, and no boost for age or authority — every site on Vellum22 appears because an operator chose to file it. The 22 columns cover the main beats of the commercial web: from the Gaming Ledger and Health Column at the higher-volume end, to compact sections like the Property Report and Records Column where each entry carries more weight on the page. Submitting a site is free and takes less than a minute: visit /add.php, supply a working URL, pick a column, and the entry will appear once the editorial pass is complete.
