Not sure if your site belongs in shopping, recreation or business? The shopping FAQ at Shopping/faq.html offers some tips:

What is Shopping?

Shopping/ contains sites of which the primary focus is to allow the consumer to select and obtain goods and services over the Web. Common examples include:

Integrated online shopping-cart systems that allow the user to order directly over the Web

Online shopping-cart systems that allow the user to generate an order form to be sent to the merchant via fax or snail-mail

Simple directories of products and prices that the user can order via mail or phone.

The key is that the site contains three elements: lists of products for sale, prices, and information on how the consumer can obtain the product from their own home.

Please do not submit barbecue sites to this category. They should be submitted to:

Shopping/Home_and_Garden/Barbecues/ (for shopping)

Home/Cooking/Outdoors/Barbecue_and_Grilling/ (for informational)
