Feed inspection and approval
A submitted feed is accepted when it complies to our approval criteria.
The approval procedure will take place as soon as possible and will take place without notice.
Feeds are rejected in case :
- the language is not English, French, German, Italian, Spanish or Dutch
- the feed name, feed description or feed items contain content that is offensive, outragious, debatable, doubtful or questionable
- the feed contains content from sites or other web resources about or connected to: casinos, brokers (real estate, horse races etc), stock markets, auctions, pricewatches, sex, porn, rent, debts, shops, malls, mortgage, all kind of stores (online and offline), service providers, software suppliers, software distributors, forbidden organizations, etc.
- the feed serves content that has a very short 'lifetime' (for instance exchange rates, stock exchange information, temperatures, real estate prices, jobs, deals, offers, adverts, etc)
- the feed contains one or more items that are extracted from other feeds or aggregated using feed aggregation, feed filtering or feed combining services
- the feed serves any other content that in our opinion is not tolerable

HowTo submit a webfeed (Feedburner, RSS, ATOM and RDF)
1. Check if the URL of the webfeed URL points to a valid feed. You can Validate the feed online @ http://www.feedvalidator.org/

5. Show your visitors that your webfeed was submitted to Feeds4all
In order to show that you did submit your webfeed to Feeds4all please place a Feeds4all link or banner on your site
Link code:
<a href="http://www.feeds4all.nl" alt="Webfeed submitted to Feeds4all" title="Webfeed submitted to
Feeds4all">http://www.feeds4all.nl</a>
Banner code:
<a href="http://www.feeds4all.nl">
<img src="http://www.feeds4all.nl/images/feeds4all_bannernl.gif" width="80" height="15"
alt="Webfeed (RSS/ATOM/RDF) submitted to http://www.feeds4all.nl" border="0">
</a>
The banner code renders a Feeds4all clickable banner  (80px x 15 px) that will appear on your website.
Feeds in our database are updated at non-predictable moments.
A click on the Feeds4all banner guides your visitors to Feeds4all and will schedule an update of your webfeed content as soon as possible.
