Are we doing something wrong?

Hello Everybody,
I would like to share my case with you.

In 2006, we launched the Argentine version of the spanish web portal xxx.

Actually, this portal has three versions: The spanish version -xxx.com- (since 2000), The mexican version -xxx.com.mx (launched in 2004) and our version in Argentina -xxx.com.ar.

The first two versions are listed in similar categories according with their countries:

World: Español: Regional: Europa: España: Economía y negocios: Servicios: Eventos - For Spain

World: Español: Regional: América: México: Economía y negocios: Servicios: Eventos - For Mexico

I have submitted our version for Argentina two times in the last year, using the same categories, just changing the country.

World: Español: Regional: América: Argentina: Economía y negocios: Servicios: Eventos

I think that if dmoz accepted the first two versions, it should be the same for the new one, and Also, it should be easier for them to evaluate our suggestion having two previous versions approved.

I have followed all the steps to suggest a site, and I know that it takes a time to get listed, but I am afraid that we are doing something wrong.

¿May you give us any suggestion?

Many Thanks
Regards

Some Generic advice.

If you have in three language -- Polish, Chinese and Swedish, you would NOT submit each domain to the appropriate world category.

Instead, you would submit the primary domain to each, with appropriate links to the corect language-specific site/subsite.

spectregunner,
Many thanks for your reply.

An important point that I didn´t tell you in my first post. This is not a same portal with three different languages. We have three different portals, each one of them with different local contents and information. We are running under the same brand, but we show up different information for users in Argentina, Spain and Mexico. In addition to this we have differents domains: .com, .com.ar, .com.mx

I have read a post about Multilingual site, and in that post somebody advices to send just one site (the main site) and then the editors list it in each language, but it is not our case. We are like mercadolibre.com, deremate.com or similar sites with different versions around the world

Probably, the editor of our category thinks that we are using this to present the same portal in three different countries and that is the reason why we are not get listed.

What can we do to inform the editor about the real situation?

Thanks again for your advice.

It's probably just as likely that no-one's got around to reviewing the suggestions you made to the other categories yet.

The same thing you can do to make sure your users don't make the same mistake. Make sure that it's evident from the information that's shown on the website.

Thanks chaos
About the second point that you mention, I am pretty sure that the information is clear for the user.

First of all, we have different domains for each country. In addition to this you may find in the upper left side of the page a big logo telling you that you are in the Argentine or the Mexican version.

I hope that the difference within each version will be clear for the editor when he visit our site.

Do you suggest to submitt the site again with some comments about this?

We sent our las suggestion about six months ago?
