How can "we" tell whether http://www.StoreName1.com, http://www.StoreNameInCalifornia.com, http://www.StoreNameForDummies.com all link to the same http://store.yahoo.com/xxxxx unless we use the latter in the directory? (And I'm not saying that the store owner would necessarily be the one to suggest the sites -- which would be spamming -- satisfied customers might also suggest the sites.) I'm also not saying this is the only problem with listing redirectors -- but it's one of the more important ones.

I see no change in status since your last report. You may ask again here in 6 months.

I think you found the correct subcategory in Pompano Beach. Both your advertising and modelling businesses would be at the top Business_and_Economy level, as they would go into subcategories which haven't yet been created, and your web design business would be in the Computers_and_Internet subcategory. But there's no way you would get more than one listing in Pompano Beach. When you see it in the directory. If you're worried about missing the location, the google directory or doing a google search within dmoz.org would be a better choice than our search. If you want a detailed status of how the suggestion is being sorting within our categories before being listed, you may only find that by asking in this thread. As indicated in our guidelines, you can ask about the status of a suggestion no earlier than one month after it's made, and ever 6 months thereafter. In this context, each suggestion of the same site may be treated separately, if you are invited to make additional suggestions.

As for a status report -- your site is now waiting for review in http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/Full_Service/R (apparently another editor agreed with me about the lack of Regional content). You may ask for another status report in 6 months. You may resubmit to the Regional category if you think you have Regional content. Although I may get in trouble for making the suggestion, if you can find a separate category for your advertising and/or modelling business, I would suggest that you make one additional suggestion to the one, best, category for that business.

It's not something we normally do, but I would like to point out that "Pompano Beach" does not seem to appear anywhere on your web site. It's possible the reviewing editor will know who you are, or that you're listed in a local phone book or web directory, but that might delay or deny your Regional listing. I decline comment on exactly where you might be listed in the http://dmoz.org/Business categories, although it seems to me that your "E-COMMERCE" business might be separately listable from your "ADVERTISING, MARKETING AND PROMOTIONS" and your "MODEL AND TALENT MANAGEMENT" business. The latter two seem sufficiently interrelated that you might not be eligible for separate listings. It should also be pointed out that I don't edit in any Business categories in which you might possibly be listed, so that my word should be given minimal wait. You also need to be careful about whether some of your businesses might belong in http://dmoz.org/Adult

No change in status of the update request.

I'm afraid it depends on the editor. Some editors DO sort by date, and look at the oldest submissions first, so that resubmitting would increase the time required for that editor to review your site. Some editors look first at the sites with good descriptions, so that resubmitting would reduce the time for that editor to review your site. Some do different things at different times, or use some other criterion to decide which sites to review first. I can't make a recommendation.

No change in status. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Still no change. Sorry about that. (We no longer reveal the number of sites waiting with you, but your site hasn't been moved.)

No change in status, I'm afraid.
