First of all, I'd like to say that submitting to the ODP has been relatively smooth. We read the directions and submitted to our regional section -- and in less than 8 weeks we were listed! Many thanks to the editor that listed us -- wherever they are
Anyway, on to business We currently have a listing in the ODP for a product of ours that is going through some re-development and rebranding. The new version will have a new name and involve much more functionality than the old. It will also have a new URL within our site (same domain).
Of course, we'd like to update our listing....but I am guessing that this change will necessitate a change in category.
My questions are:
1. Is there any protocol (or recommendations) for how we do the update? (301 redirects, etc)
2. Is a move treated any differently than a new listing (specifically if it moves categories) in terms of how it is edited?
Many thanks!!
