Hello there, One of my sites is listed in the following category: http://dmoz.com/Shopping/Clothing/Undergarments/Lingerie/ The name of the site is listed as "Vicious Enterprises", which is not the name of the store (it should be "Hustler Panties"). I noticed this quite a while ago and didn't care until the incorrect DMOZ data started showing up everywhere (Alexa, other directories, Google, etc). Is there any way that this can be fixed before any more damage is done?

Can I update the description for www.esurance.com?
by Guest csilvey- 3 replies

The description for www.esurance.com is somewhat outdated and doesn't fully explain what our company does. I would like to add a little more description. Is that possible? Here is where we are listed: http://dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Insurance/Agents_and_Marketers/Auto/United_States/ (We moved recently from http://dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Insurance/Agents_and_Marketers/Auto/United_States/Multi-State/ - it looks like that sub-category has been removed.) Here is our current description: "Offering online auto insurance and claims information." I'd like to add a little more detail, something like: "Offers quotes, comparison rates, buying a…

Hello....this is a great forum! Thanks! ok, for the longest time my IP address 208.3.70.30 has been listed in the Directory pointing to http://ncfga.org. This is incorrect. It should point to www.coreysilk.com. The listing for Corey Silk is there but in the wrong category...yikes! It should be in a alternative sexual lifestyle (bisexual) category. I can't ever seem to get this fixed. Whats up? Thanks again!

hello, I submitted our site about 10 minutes ago into a pretty specific category because I couldn’t find a more ‘general’ category to submit to. I did find other categories that were almost equally appropriate, but they were just as specific and/or limiting. As it stands, I think I will just wait and see if the site gets in, because the submission is in progress, but my friend pointed this forum out to me, so I thought I would ask your advice because I felt like maybe I did it wrong. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob ____________________________________ Title: Online Loan Calculator Description: offers mortgage, financial, and auto loan calcul…

I submitted my site 3 years ago. It's a scientific website. It's currently most popular in it's filed. articles are quite exclusive, we have a good page rank and highest number of visitors in our field. and I add it in correct category in DMOZ but it not listed yet!!!! That's quite funny. Is there anybody out there?!!! if you're so busy that you can't add a site after 3 years, please close site registration and stop people of wasting their time here.

Hi there, I operate a real estate directory (www.RealEstateSurfing.com) and have a questions regarding regional real estate submissions. I submitted the www.ontario.realestatesurfing.com page in December and received a listing for a few days in the (Top: Regional: North America: Canada: Ontario: Business and Economy: Real Estate) category for a week or so but it was dropped. I emailed to ask why and was given a response (see below). I'm not sure what I did wrong but any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Russ <START> From: [edited] To: [edited] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 5:59 PM Subject: ODP Feedb…

Hi Everyone, It has been about 3 weeks since I submitted to dmoz and still no listing. I neglected to enter an email because I figured I'm either in or I'm not, but it looks as though there may be more to the process of being listed than simply submitting. Since it has been 3 weeks, should I just submit again and this time enter my email address so that I can receive comments from the editor?

Hello all, I have tried for the past year to get a few sites listed but with no joy:( Some of the catagories I wish to be listed in are only small catagories and still no joy:confused: I start to think is it not possible there maybe corrupt some editors who actually have there own sites in those catagories that see more listed as competition:icon_ques Surely this must go on all the time? Sorry just speaking my honest thoughts. Cheers mrix

Hello, after reading some comments I'm beginning to think that there is a big big chance that if someone wants to give you a bad time, specially if is a company that do the same business as you do they can be not ethical and do whatever it needs to get you completely out of this list. How can I be sure of it? We have send our site only 2 times. The first was in February and the second time a few weeks a go. How can I'll be sure? Thanks you all

Since all of the editors have been such a help in the past I thought I would ask one more question (for now) /images/icons/wink.gif I have a site that I have been working on that is a home improvement directory. I am hoping (and working on) that it will contain quite a bit of informational topics along with the directories of professional services. I am sure it will take some time to grow and become popular but I need your opinions since I will be finalizing the main pages content this weekend and hopefully be submitting to ODP. What category(s) do you feel are the most appropriate for this site. I know you have a lot to do but I would appreciate any feedback on …

Hi, I am aware that it takes time for a submitted site to be accepted. I just wonder how I will be informed whether my suggested site has been accepted or rejected? When searching for it, there are more than thousand sites in the category I chose and they are not in alphabetic order. A bit tedious to browse... Kind regards Lilian Westlin (Alingo)

Helping an editor

Some time ago I wrote in "Becoming Editor" category about how to get reinstated in a category where I was (unfairly) kicked out. However, I just noticed that the category now has a new editor who has made some cleaning and updating there. Hence, I'm quite ok with the current editor situation. The current editor seems to have several categories to edit and is probably an experienced one as far as ODP is concerner. And a fast one, too -- I got my new site listed in less than 24 hours. However, it seems that he/she is not very familiar with the region in question (probably only been there as a tourist). Hence it seems that he/she does not have a thorough knowledge about a…

Hi everyone! I'm not sure how else to get help with this, so I thought I would post my issue here. I hope someone can help. I've been trying to post a website to dmoz for quite a while now with no success. I followed all the steps correctly (chose a category, filled out the info, kept the length down, etc. etc). I filled this out on two occasions, about 3 months apart, and the website still has not appeared on dmoz. I'm not sure what else to do. It's a website for a company that does patternmaking and custom clothing design, so I don't understand why it wouldn't show up. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Regional Specific Subdomains

I am preparing a website that is themed for Renaissance Festivals. A lot of the information offered will be specific to certain festivals, and I intend to divide that type of information by location. To separate these categories, I will create subdomains under the main domain (i.e. plantersville.url.com and smithville.url.com). Each of these subdomains will include extensive information on hotels, apartments, restaurants, local craft merchants, local seamstresses, etc. What I would like to know is whether it would be appropriate to submit each subdomain to the ODP under the regional category appropriate for each? Would each subdomain be considered as a separate sit…

Hi, I'm new to these forums, but part of my reason for joining is to ask a question/make a suggestion. I have to say that I find the whole 'process' of submitting a site to DMOZ which is then reviewed to be rather odd, in the sense that there appears to be no 'visibility' once you've clicked the submit button. There is simply no feedback, other than if you happen to get accepted eventually and then listed (in which case you need to visit the site and search for your site on it before you get even 'that' feedback). DMOZ essentially tell us: 1. Follow the guidelines, else you may get rejected 2. Submit your site, then wait.... for an unlimited amount of time. I…

I posted this in SUBMISSIONS but there was not one reply! So... too dumb an idea to bother with, already been covered many times, too difficult, too..... Here goes again. Every single submitter of a site wants to know at the very least - WHEN. With the many thousands of editors that help ODP I imagine there is a lot of choping and changing of editor/category/sites to review. I understand the logistics must be horrendous. However, if some of the very many bright heads got together and worked out a model whereby a resonable guesstimate of 'time to review' could be applied to a category based on past experience and other factors and then this information could be …
