Re: Multiple Listings in sorted order http://www.whois.sc/internet-statistics/dmoz-listings.html doesn't seem to return any listings..

Re: A 404 Thanks, dpkm - I've taken care of that one. -Sam http://dmoz.org/profiles/samiam.html

Re: http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Telecommunication Welcome! Questions of this sort can probably be best addressed in the internal editor forum, linked from your editor dashboard. The New Editors' forum may be a good starting place! -Sam http://dmoz.org/profiles/samiam.html

Hi - your site is still waiting for review in that category with about 25 other sites. It may be some time before it is reviewed, though. Hope this helps.

Re: Staus Hi - I don't see it waiting for review in that category. There's no edit history, though, so I don't believe it was rejected. If it's possible you submitted to another category, you can post here, or re-submit it to the above category. I looked in some of the related categories, but did not see it waiting. Hope this helps. sam

Your site is still waiting review in that category with about 50 other sites. (A previous submission to a Shopping/ category was reviewed in early September, but the site apparently was not responding at that time.) I wouldn't worry about an extra submission. It just looks like you may have to, unfortunately, wait some time for the category's backlog to be gone through.

Hi - it's been corrected. However, in the future (and for others reading this thread), there is a built-in facility for requesting a change or update to a listing. If you go to the category page at http://dmoz.org/ and click the "update URL" link at the top of the page, and type the URL as it is listed in the category, it will place the update request in the queue. -sam

One thing to remember is that a domain does not a site make - One domain can have multiple sites [the oft-quoted Geocities is an example] One site can be spread over multiple domains. (extreme example: I could buy a different domain for each page of content I have, but that doesn't make each page its own site).

Internal dmoz search returns: "Search database last updated on: Mon Jul 8 06:52:56 PDT 2002 ," so I'll assume it's that which you are referring to. Basically - staff has been doing some tweaking of the process that creates the search database. It's being worked on, and hopefully will be updated soon. It's usually updated weekly; for now, though, we just have to wait. But staff is aware of this issue, so just hang in there.

Is it possible to hace the cookies come from resource-zone.com instead of www.resource-zone.com, so that when viewing the threads at resource-zone.com, things work right? Thanks... sam

This post has the info straight from guy who added the tag narrow2.. (symbolic2 also)

No, this is not a reason to do an update URL. DMOZ only records the URL, the category (ie the topic of the site), and the (usually) editor-created title and description (also the topic and general contents of the site) As long as it is in the correct category, has an accurate title and description, with the correct URL, there is no need to request an update. Changing color schemes, adding meta tags, rearranging the content are all things that you can do to your site which 99.9% of the time gives no reason to request an update. Moving the site's loocation or changing the focus of the site are two reasons why you would want to submit an update request.

the RDF contains the names of the editors for given categories. Google parses them and turns them into links to the dmoz profiles.

Hi - that site is still waiting for review in that category - with a little more than a dozen other sites. You should not resubmit it. The site was recently submitted, so I'd suggest that you'll probably have to wait a few weeks more at a minimum. The category does seem to be pretty well-tended, however, so don't worry too much. -sam

In general, a site may be listed once in Topical and once in Regional branches of the directory. (Though this is subject to editorial descretion). A Regional listing is based on where the "brick and mortar" location is. In this case, I would probably submit to this Pompano Beach. As for topical listings, you might be able to submit to the most appropriate Web Design and Development category and perhaps television or video . Most sites could fit in numerous categories. The goal, however, is to find the category that single best category. When browsing the directory to choose the category to submit to, make note of the Description links at the top right of many pages. These will usually help you determine the scope of the given category. Hope this helps.
