Problem solved! A few ounces of midnight oil along with some sql work and all listings in question are now gone from the chef2chef database. Please re-check our database. I have resubmitted our site into the /Business/Hospitality/Food_Service/ category. Fred Roosli Chef2Chef.Net

There is a difference in the Google example, Google does not actively maintain a directory and we do and have done so for 4 years. I just looked at your standard attribution. It will thwart our efforts to build our own directory by creating confusion as to where a new site should be submitted. Hence, I will make every effort to isolate and remove the listings prior to March of 2001 that we contracted from a database developer. As you pointed out correctly, those listings are now 4 years old. That may take some time and effort but it will be done. I understand that Chef2Chef is not going to appear in the ODP directory and I accept your verdict. I will let you know when it's done. Fred

As you say they, are not identical However, we did start off with some ODP listings in March of 2002. Since that date, we have added/modfied/deleted about 15,000 listings. If you are looking for attribution for listings entered prior to March of 2002, we would be glad to add it with that qualification. Fred

Interesting. The directory structure is where the similarity to ODP ends. We do not update from ODP data. Listings are submitted to us via a our web interface at http://chef2chef.net/inc/main/foodservice-dir-add.htm Are you sure you want attribution for a directory, listings and descriptions that you did not build and did not go through your editing process? Fred

Thanks for the quick reply. We do run our own brand foodservice directory and not ODP's! In fact, my wife is spending her 3rd year as a full time editor of our Chef2Chef Foodservice Directory. Fred

Hello Moderators, It's been about two and half years since I asked you about deeplinking the chef2chef.net site. We now have grown to about 420,000 of culinary and foodservice content. What we do no longer have is the single entry in /Business/Hospitality/Food_Service/ that must have been removed from your index about a month ago. May we ask what caused us to be so much in your disfavor or could it be a simple technical glitch? Best Regards, Fred Roosli Chef2Chef.Net
