Affiliate sites

The following site:
http://www.teamlogisticscorp.com/

Is listed under:
http://dmoz.org/Business/Transportation_and_Logistics/Distribution_and_Logistics/Logistics/Warehousing_and_Storage/
and
http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Tennessee/Localities/C/Collierville/Business_and_Economy/

No problem. However they have affiliate sites listed as follows:

http://www.freight-claims.com/
http://dmoz.org/Business/Transportation_and_Logistics/Distribution_and_Logistics/Consulting/Freight_Auditing_and_Cost_Reduction/

http://www.findwarehousing.com/
http://dmoz.org/Business/Transportation_and_Logistics/Distribution_and_Logistics/Logistics/

All content/services found at the second two domains can also be found on the first domain. They are all owned by Team Logistics and all domains resolve to the same IP.

Thank you for looking into this.

Interesting. That IP seems to have several sites offering strangely similar services with DMOZ listings (including ones you haven't mentioned). I'm a little busy at present (we have family over - what joy ) so I can't do these myself but if I say 'Pueblo' and let one of the more senior editors look into it then we'll see what we can do. Thanks for reporting this.

That does not surprise me. Thanks for checking it out.

Not pushing, just curious if anyone else has looked into this, and if so, what's the verdict? Seems to me this company has managed to stack the deck.

Pueblo, Pueblo, Pueblo!!! (there, I said it)

The listings you mentioned were removed, thanks for pointing them out. The others I found, while being similar, were not removed because they appeared to be separate companies who were merely affiliated to Team Logistics - the addresses were different, etc.

Thank you Neil. I appreciate you taking your time to look into this. I am glad I could be of assistance.

There is actually a lot of this type of thing in the transportation segment of the directory. I look forward to eventually helping to clean things up in this area (if/when my application is accepted).

I applied to edit http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Transportation_and_Logistics/Directories/

I realize now that according to dmoz guidelines this category may be too big to start, but it's worth a shot. If not accepted I will re-apply to one of the subs, rinse, and repeat.

Best,

Actually you might just get that category because there's only 12 sites in it - the 'subcategories' are actually elsewhere in the directory (hence the '@' at the end of them) so you won't be able to edit them, at least not initially. Anyhow, we'll see what the metas decide - good luck .
