Re: Status: http://www.1cog.com (domain change) Hi Still no change on the domain name update - could someone provide status please. Also, on 4 Sep I submitted to: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Internet/Site_Promotion/Search_Engine_Optimization_Firms/ http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Promotion/Search_Engine_Optimization_Firms/1/ At least 50% of my work is SEO so this seemed appropriate, although I'm half expecting a cool reaction to these additional listings. TIA.

Re: Status: http://www.1cog.com (domain change) Thanks, Neil. I'll do as suggested.

Status: http://www.1cog.com (domain change) Hi I recently moved domain from http://www.1cog-web-design.co.uk to http://www.1cog.com. On 18 June I requested an update for geographic category http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Bristol/Business_and_Economy/Internet/Web_Design_and_Marketing/ and also a move from non-geographic category http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/1/ to http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/Full_Service/1/, which is more appropriate given that many of my clients are from outside the UK. I noticed that the Bristol cat had been updated as requested a week ago. It's now back to the old domain. Could someone let me know status please. Thanks.

Re: UK Betting forum : appropriate category? Thanks for the input, Steve.

Re: UK Betting forum : appropriate category? Thanks, I thought that might be the case. The site is intended for a UK audience but a lot of the content is applicable to betting regardless of location. Any other opinions before I submit? Thanks.

Re: UK Betting forum : appropriate category? I cannot understand why you think that's what I suggested. I'm asking for guidance on which is the most appropriate category.

Hi Not sure where to submit : http://www.bettingforum.net I think : http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Recreation_and_Sports/Gambling/ but there are no forums listed. Perhaps a cat which contains just forums : http://dmoz.org/Games/Gambling/Chats_and_Forums/ Thanks.

I didn't think it had been. I said "I see no reason for the site to be rejected.". Future tense.

motsa, windharp Thanks for the replies. I'm aware of DMOZ policy on affiliate sites and I realise that it may sometimes be difficult to distinguish them from original providers. I also accept there is a higher incidence of affiliate selling in commercial products like diet pills. None of that excuses Hutcheson's behaviour and I wonder if he will be as quick to apologise as he was to call me a liar. I realise inclusion of this site is entirely at the discretion of the category editor, but I'll just restate : the content is original, the product is original and there are tools on the site that give it value outside the purely commercial aspect. I have spent a *lot* of time lurking and occasionally posting in these forums and I see no reason for the site to be rejected. I might be back in a few weeks. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

I have asked my client to respond to your veiled allegations. I asked him if the product was sold by another company or he was part of an affiliate program: Mr Hutcheson, I look forward to your reply and I hope you have the good grace to offer an apology. I also hope you demonstrate a little less arrogance and a little more professionalism when acting as a DMOZ editor in future. If another editor could please confirm this submission is in the queue I would be very grateful.

Stephen Do try to suppress the immediate reaction that everyone you come across is a liar. A few more minutes exercising your enormous prowess with Google would soon show I am nothing other than honest, open and accountable. As should be very evident to someone of your prodigious abilities this is not *my* product - I am the web designer. I understood the product was unique and as you've provided little more than shouted insults I am none the wiser. I will discuss this with my client before commenting further.

Hi Could someone just confirm receipt of this submission, given the first two seemed to go astray somehow. TIA.

Thanks for the feedback. That's a little worrying - submitted twice and no record? I've resubmitted. Is it possible to confirm that the submission is now in the queue? Re. "affiliate site" - the product sold by this company is unique, this is not an affiliate site. The site also provides a number of online tools that give guidance on ideal weight, body mass index, etc. which make it useful beyond the purely commercial aspect.

Hi guys I'd be grateful for a status check on : http://www.bio4ce.com/ submitted to : http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Weight_Loss/Supplements/ on 6 December. I realise it's a little early to be asking for status but I just found out the site owner had also submitted a few weeks previously - apologies for wasting the editor's time. <img src="/images/icons/blush.gif" alt="" /> Thanks.
