Frequently asked
What is Journal20?
Journal20 is a general-purpose web directory that lists active, approved websites across 22 organised sections. It is free to browse and free to submit to. The name comes from the print-trade tradition of maintaining a journal — a running record, updated carefully over time.
Is it free to list my site?
Yes. Submission is free and there are no charges for inclusion. Journal20 does not sell placement or offer premium positions; every listing earns its place in the directory through the standard review process.
How are sites organised in Journal20?
The directory is divided into 22 sections covering the main areas of commercial and community activity on the web — from Odds and Ink for gaming sites through to Silicon Galley for technology companies and Itinerary Impressions for travel operators. Each listing appears under the single section that best fits its primary activity.
How do I submit my site?
Use the Submit a Site form linked in the navigation. Enter your domain, select the most relevant section from the 22 available, and complete the short form. The editorial desk reviews each submission individually before adding it to the directory.
How long does the review take?
Reviews are carried out by hand and typically complete within a few business days. Submissions are checked for a live, working domain and a clear, legitimate service before they enter the record.
Can I submit a site to more than one section?
Each domain is listed once, in the section that best matches its primary purpose. If a site covers multiple areas, the reviewer will place it in the most appropriate section rather than duplicating the entry.
How many sites are listed in Journal20?
The directory currently holds more than 793 approved listings spread across all 22 sections. The count grows as new submissions pass the review stage.
Why was my submission not approved?
Submissions are declined when the domain is not resolving, the site does not appear to offer a genuine service, or the content is outside the scope of the directory. You are welcome to resubmit once any issues have been addressed.
About Journal20
Journal20 is a general-purpose web directory that approaches the task of cataloguing the internet with the care a compositor brings to a press run: methodically, legibly, and without unnecessary clutter. The directory holds more than 793 approved listings spread across 22 clearly labelled sections, from Odds and Ink through to Silicon Galley and Itinerary Impressions. Each entry is reviewed before it enters the record — no placeholder pages, no dormant domains, no sites that exist only to inflate a count. The 22 sections cover the broad sweep of commercial and community activity on the web, with the largest columns dedicated to gaming, health, and general-interest domains. Owners of active websites can submit their own domain at any time through the free add-a-site form; the editorial desk reviews each submission before it goes to press. Journal20 does not claim to be the only directory on the web, but it aims to be a dependable one — the kind of reference a professional would leave open on the compositing bench and return to throughout the working day.
