Increase the chances of your submission being posted on Fark

  • Before submitting, please take a minute to review our posting guidelines and our legal/privacy policy. By submitting, you agree to these terms.
  • If you found the link on another link site or weblog etc, credit the source by putting its name in the Or: box on the submission page.
  • Make the tagline funny.
  • Make sure the submission is at least somewhat humorous.
  • When making taglines for Photoshop or caption candidates, describe the picture.
  • Try to make headlines have a noun and a verb. This isn't always possible.
  • Don't link directly to videos. Link to pages where videos can be watched instead.
  • Don't submit parody threads.
  • Don't spam the queue repetitively.
  • Don't capitalize every word like news headlines; write normally.
  • Avoid the use of articles, just like news headlines. Instead of "A man discovers that he has two asses" write "Man discovers he has two asses."
  • Did we mention "make the tagline funny"?
  • Articles from the following sites will automatically be rejected:
    • Sites that shut themselves down after getting a lot of traffic, like Geocities
    • Ananova (long story)
    • Any site requiring logins or registration to read articles
  • Don't get discouraged if your link doesn't get picked -- we get thousands of link submissions a day, and less than 5% make it to the Fark main page. However, they all show up for TotalFark subscribers.
  • We may occasionally swap out a source link to another. These occasions can include, but are not limited to the following situations:
    • The original article link becoming unavailable or 404'd ("Farked");
    • A larger, preferred site we know can better handle the traffic spike;
    • A request by the target site or the link submitter;
    • Swapping to the article's original page instead of a summary or direct duplication on a blog or non-originating site.
  • Submitting to Fark will not affect your ranking in search engines, even if it is in the 5% of links that get hand-picked -- so SEO spammers, don't waste your time (or ours).
