Hopefully I'm not offending anyone here by posting bad links (and I hope this is helpful to someone). Also, to avoid embarrassment I double-checked these links over the course of a couple of days & from home to make sure that it wasn't just me Anyway, the category in question is: Computers/Software/Marketing/Surveys/ The bad links: http://www.able-surveys.com/ http://www.blackjester.com/ http://www.computassistomaha.com/qna/ http://www.evalu8.com.au/SITE/Corp_Site/ http://www.lesphinx-developpement.fr/en/index.htm http://www.2way.com/ http://biz.planetfeedback.com/bizsite/index.jsp http://www.pleaseletusknow.com/ Many thanks and happy editing!

To whom it may concern: First I'd like to apologize for any neglegance on my part for any wrong doing. Please understand that it is not my intention to do so. gregh@alternativesecurity.com In the past year, my account was flagged as spammer due to my not knowing of the existance of this site (resource-zone.com) and getting server 500 errors during submission. I'm assuming 6 months after my knowing of my accout status, I was supposed to check back to see if that got cleared. Unintentionally, I failed to do so and I submitted more sites for review. What (if any) suggestions might you have to rectify the issue that I have. -=-Thanks in Advance -=-Greg Hamam…

Hi REF: http://dmoz.org/Home/Gardening/Landscaping/Outdoor_Structures/Conservatories/ I notice that the three websites listed in this category all appear to be somewhat similar - perhaps even designed by the same people? So I did a Whois http://www.kessels.com/whois/ and it appears all three sites listed are registered to the same organisation. (Leveldisc Systems) They also to me, appear to be offering somewhat similar content and cross link with each other. (There are only three websites listed in CAT) As far as I'm aware this is spamming? Apologies if I have misunderstood By the way I recently submitted a site to this category. I can see the edi…

http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Travel/Accessories/ I think the URL for http://www.disky.com/ decribed as "Online retailer of travel accessories" needs to be changed as it links to a page about music CD's not travel. I believe the correct URL is http://www.disky.com/disky.asp?category=3 http://www.travelstore24.co.uk/ seems to be mainly an affliliate site. http://www.onthegoaccessories.com/ may be affliliate too.

not sure where to report this, but i figured it could fit abuse cause editor probably misrepresented him/herself i was just going through category Top: World: Srpski and visited pages such as http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/add.cgi?where=World/Srpski/Kompjuteri http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/apply.cgi?where=World/Srpski/Kompjuteri and text on those pages is definitively not in serbian, but croatian, which is a different dialect, and not even people of serbian heritage from croatia speak like that. I would consider this a HUGE blunder, IF the goal of this section is to cater to serbian visitors. And to top it off, those pages are FULL of spelling errors (in either dialect …

Hello, It is my understanding that the website for ZAP World is in two different categories. The first is electric vehicles, the second is electric scooters. The only reason I am reporting this is because I was curious in the site submission status forum about multiple searches and an editor suggested to report my concerns. Thanks, EVNRGMAN http://www.electrictransport.net trying to get into the electric vehicles category

http://www.difficultteens-tranquilitybay.com/ located in the http://dmoz.org/Health/Mental_Health/Child_and_Adolescent/Treatment/Treatment_Facilities/ section of the ODP is most definitely an affiliate site for: http://www.wwasp.com (located in : http://dmoz.org/Health/Mental_Health/Child_and_Adolescent/Treatment/ )and http://www.tranquilitybay.org (located in: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Caribbean/Jamaica/Education/) ...

Dear Sirs, http://www.immigrationassist.co.uk/ is no longer a website. They display hosting information. And http://www.workpermit.com/ is the same website with http://www.ukimmigration.com/ and same company. On http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Immigration/ you have http://www.valuevisas.org/ that completly changed the site into poor forum and I do not think it should be listed in this category. I hope that helps! Regards, maryando80

I would like to bring to everyone’s attention that a high level editor who has been with the ODP for some time is abusing the Western Australia category and all categories within it by simply adding websites that are clients of their web design company and rejecting all other submissions in this state of Australia I will not name the editor nor the web design company in question but I will PM some mods here the more specific details this is appalling abuse and I am aware it has been reported he previously but nothing was done and the situation has gotten worse any client of this web design company is added literally the day it is submitted by the web design compa…

I cannot determine if http://dmoz.org.il/ is an official site or not. If it is, then you have a problem with links being added by someone (bottom of each page) to what I assume is their own site I appreciate there are a number of rogue copies that have nothing to do with DMOZ. I have no idea if this is the real thing or not If it is not official, how many official copies are there?

I am posting to make you aware of a website linked to in:- Top: Games: Video Games: Action-Adventure: Survival Horror: D Series: D2 The site is titled:- "D2" With the description:- "Official site. Features story, wallpaper, hints, characters, screen shots, cheats, codes, and links." It links to:- "http://www.sega.com/pc/catalog/SegaProduct.jhtml?PRODID=166&CATID=72" --------------------- The WHOLE of the above entry is wrong. Not erronous, but actually a blatent lie and also now does not exist, so points to a non-existant page. The Official Diablo2 website is actually:- "http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp" and its name is not "D2", its:- "Arr…

Just one question: How does a brand new directory with very few listings get listed in 8 days, and other directories and sites take over one year? I'm not happy about this. ... missing categories... few listings.... NO different than the hundred other new directories that have sprang up in the past few months. Would anyone care to elaborate? http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Searching/Directories/ Many of you know I have been a huge fan of the ODP over the years, and I have stood with them when members in my forums have bashed them. This incident has truly made me mad. I never thought something like this could happen. Thank you. Doug Heil

Hi, I this this is unfair, because the mexonline.com has a link in almost every category of the mexican part of dmoz directory. I think this is spam or the editor is helping him or herself. It has a lot of html pages indexed. You can see here. http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=mexonline if the above link doesnt work, try to serch mexonline in the dmoz search box. It has more than 79 urls listed in dmoz, in diferents categories. and some of them doesn´t work or gives an error. Could you plese tell me why this is happening on dmoz? Regards, Enrique.
