I noticed that a Site http://www.sri-lankahotels.com/ listed in Cat. http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Sri_Lanka/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/ is using the Web Templates of my Portal called http://www.realrajasthan.com There are ways to find that THIS SITE has copied. I would request the reputable Directory ODP to include such nasty sites.

Howdy all! I was reading this section and I saw lots of complaint/reporting but no one offering solutions. So, in good order, I'd like to make a suggetion to the ODP for site submission. Have submitters edit the section they wish to submit to. How would this work? Actually, not sure this is a good idea...probably heard it before...but. As a condition of submitting a site, webmasters/site owners are required to pick the best area for their site already. Now, simply add the requirement they review the section for sites which fall outside of ODP guidelines. (this requires they actually read and understand the guidelines for listing in ODP) Their own submiss…

It's time for a fresh start. The previous thread with a name similar to this one's was a mixture of valid concerns about language issues and accusations about the category in question. Accusations are in violation of the guidelines of this forum and will not be tolerated. Language issues should be addressed in the General ODP Issues forum. I'll try to pick the valid issues out of the deleted thread and start a new thread there. [added] The new thread is here.

Is this web site affiliated to the ODP or one of your editors? http://www.isubmit.com/ If I pay $29.99 I have a guaranteed listing. Is this true? Thanks for your time.

I asked this question in another thread, but I think that it would be more appropriately posted here. Suppose that someone else was submitting my site from time to time in other categories... This effectively takes me off of one list and puts me at the bottom of another. If someone were to keep doing this about every month, then they pretty much have maliciously prevented me from ever getting listed in DMOZ. Is there any safeguard against that?

I'm not sure what happened here. I tried to delete a post and ended up deleting the whole thread instead. What I wrote was: I'm afraid the points mentioned here are too clearly directed at a specific and identifiable editor. Even though that editor isn't named in the post, I'm going to have to delete it. For allegations that are this specific, please report them via http://report-abuse.dmoz.org/ . I'm not complaining about the fact of your report, and I haven't looked into it yet to verify its validity. I'm just saying it shouldn't be made publicly.

Goodmorning Re: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/London/Travel_and_Tourism/Travel_Services/Tour_Operators/ This category used to be really out-of-date, key words used to be repeated throughout the titles and descriptions. It was partially updated about a week ago but it appears that two or 3 sites have slipped through: i)Beatles London Walking Tour- this repeats the word "london" in the description. ii) Black Cab Tours of London- repeats the word "london" in the description. iii)Black Taxi Tours of London - repeats "london" two more times in description. iv)London Taxi Tour - repeats "London" four times in description. v)London Walking T…

I don't know if this is abuse because I am not an expert on the guidelines, so is it allowed for a website to be listed under one category, but individual pages from the site listed in several other categories?

Hello, It looks like a company is spamming things up with two listings in the same category. Check out - Sports: Golf: Tournaments and Events: Tournament Companies Golf Marketing Incorporated (Looks like the original) http://holeinone.bizland.com/ Golf Marketing & Insurance (Looks like the new one) http://www.hole-in-won.com/ The phone number from holeinone.bizland.com (800-997-3869) matches identically with the number from http://www.hole-in-won.com/welcome.htm Thanks Editors! All of you guys are the best!!!

Is it possible to talk to a live person at dmoz? Here's my problem. I have been listed under web templates for about 4 years. Last Nov-Dec I noticed my listed was deleted. I contacted the editor ([snip]) and they told me to not bother to list my website because it was "an affiliate site". I know that this person did not look at my site because I have 1050+ of my own web templates for sale. I do have template monster templates on my site. Still, my content is unique and is one of the larger web template sites. I feel this was editor abuse because while my site was deleted the following sites remained: http://www.buydezign.com/ - no templates, forwards to another …

One of my competitors is listed under two categories for the exact same URL. I havent submitted my site yet, but it too would actually seem to be perfectly and very relevant under both of these categories, as is my competitor. My question is: is my competitor doing something illegal, in which case should i report him (if so, can i do that in this post--?), OR, is this multiple listing sometimes acceptable and can i also submit my site under these two categories? Thank you.
