Bad description submitted

zipz · Mar 29, 2005

Hello
I submitted my site for like 4 months ago. Now when I have lernt more about writing descriptions I think the description I submited for my page is kind of wrong. Should it be better to tell an editor to remove my submission so I could submit a new description, as I understand there is no queue system is it?
And I can't submit again because that would be spam....is there anything I could do to get my site reviewed faster?

Normally, if you resubmit to the same category, your new submission would overwrite the old one. However, I can count the number of submissions that I've listed intact on my fingers -- out of thousands of submissions, so I can say that we're used to rewriting.

It's possible that a good description would stand out in the unreviewed area so that resubmitting would help -- it's possible it would hurt (slightly). There's no way of knowing.

Is there any way I can find out which description my site has right now other than asking an editor on a random forum?

You can go to the correct forum (not a random one) and ask for a status check, and ask the editor to also tell you what the submitted description was.

They may or may not choose to provide that information to you.

It doesn't really matter. I'm lucky if one in a thousand descriptions doesn't need to be rewritten -- and most of them, from scratch. Don't worry about it.

So you recomend that I shouldn't do anything about my submission?

Leave it.

The chances that resubmitting pushes back the review of the existing submission and delays it far exeed the chances of you writing a description that stands out enough to get reviewed sooner.

Personally I review sites with better looking descriptions ahead of others, but there are not too many of them that are that good. Sites submitted multiple times in my experience get reviewed slower on the average.

Sorry, but we don't provide status information at all now. Please see the announcement for details and reasons why.
