Frequently asked

What is Observer81?

Observer81 is a curated web index that catalogs 832 online resources across 22 subject desks. It operates on the newsroom model: each subject area is assigned a dedicated desk, and every listed entry is reviewed individually before being filed under the desk that best reflects its primary subject matter.

Is it free to list my site?

Yes. There is no charge to submit a site for consideration or to be included in the Observer81 index. The catalogue is open to submissions at no cost, though inclusion is not guaranteed — all submissions go through an individual review before a filing decision is made.

How are sites organized in the index?

Observer81 organizes its 832 entries across 22 subject desks, each covering a distinct area of online activity — from the Finance & Investment bureau to the Travel & Exploration desk. Sites are assigned to the desk that most accurately reflects their primary subject matter as declared online.

How do I submit my site?

Use the submission form on the Add Your Site page. Provide your site address and select the desk that best matches your subject area. The Observer81 team will review your submission and assign it to the appropriate desk if it meets the catalogue criteria.

How long does the review process take?

Review timelines vary depending on the volume of submissions in the queue. Observer81 assesses each submission on an individual basis. You do not need to follow up — if your site is accepted, it will appear in the index; if it is not, no separate notification is sent.

What kinds of sites are included?

Observer81 covers a broad range of online resources, from health clinics and legal practices to gaming platforms, travel operators, technology firms, and media producers. The 22 desks span both niche and general subject areas, with entry counts reflecting the natural distribution of documented online resources across sectors.

Which desk has the most entries?

The General Dispatches bureau is the largest desk in Observer81, holding nearly 190 entries across diverse sectors that do not map clearly to a single specialist desk. The Gaming & Wagering bureau is the largest specialist desk, with 118 entries covering online gaming and wagering operators worldwide.

About Observer81

Observer81 is a curated web index organized like a newsroom, with 832 catalogued entries distributed across 22 subject desks. Each desk covers a defined area of online activity, from the Gaming & Wagering bureau to the Technology & Software desk, allowing readers to navigate the index by subject beat rather than keyword search. The catalogue was assembled through individual review: each of the 832 entries has been assessed and assigned to the desk that most accurately reflects its primary subject matter. Observer81 operates as an open reference resource — there is no charge to browse, and site owners may submit their own resources for consideration at no cost. The index spans a wide range of sectors, with some desks carrying extensive coverage (General Dispatches holds 189 entries) and others representing more selective filings (Property & Real Estate holds 5). This variation reflects the natural distribution of online resources across subjects. Observer81 does not rank entries within desks; the catalogue is an index, not a search engine, and is intended as a starting point for research and discovery rather than a definitive or exhaustive directory.
