DATING abuse - sites or categories to check

Now there the play:

Site No. 1) http://www.marriage-asia.com/
Listed in - http://dmoz.org/Society/Relationships/Dating/Personals/Ethnic/

This is a just one page site with no content of its own but points to two different websites -

Site No. 2) http://www.muslimwedding.org/
Listed in - http://dmoz.org/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Islam/Online_Resources/Matrimonials/

And

Site No. 3) http://www.matrimonials-india.com/ which is already listed in - Listed in - http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/India/Society_and_Culture/Matrimonials/

Same content, similar design and same database. Multiple domains, multiple website resulting in multiple listings.

DATING categories - sites or categories to check

Ok, I've checked on these.

Umesh, please reuse this thread for all of your future postings -- we don't need a new thread every time you find something for us to look at.

Re: DATING categories - sites or categories to check

Great - this is really great I must say we should publish this somewhere where all webmasters can see how ODP editors are the showcase of being true bias towards websites/ business owners –

http://www.muslimwedding.org/
http://www.matrimonials-india.com/

I have already mention this in the first post, both the website are same – same content / same design but colors and domains are different.

Other sites with multiple listings -
http://www.tamilnadumatrimonial.com/
http://www.matrimonialsindia.com/

http://shaadi.emuslimsingles.com/
http://www.muslimmarriageconsultants.com/

Now before some amateur Webmaster with low OR no common sense and English language skills post back. These are complains of abuse of one business with one website having multiple domains for the sake of multiple listings in ODP which will get them higher Google PageRank and high rankings in Google search engines.

I am NO SPAMMER - Desicupid.com is a separate website and has no connection with Shaadi.com (which is already listed in ODP) it has all different audience, subject, content, offerings than Shaadi.com Still it was rejected!

The intention of Desicupid.com to be listen in Dating category was not to because for getting multiple listings for Shaadi.com

Umesh

Re: DATING categories - sites or categories to check

You seem to be unclear about our policies for listings -- multiple listings ARE allowed in a number of cases.

I have personally looked through some of these dating categories in the last 2 weeks. Are you SURE that things are as you say?

Re: DATING categories - sites or categories to check

Umesh, if you want to continue arguing about your two businesses being separate from each other and/or meritorious of two listings, this really is definitely NOT the right place to do it.

Your complaints about other sites will be investigated regardless of the games you've been playing with your own sites. That doesn't mean we'll necessarily delete them though; especially not if they have two appropriate listings in accordance with our guidelines.

Some of the mirrors you pointed out to us have already been deleted. You are being listened to, even if the result isn't always what you would hope for.

Re: DATING categories - sites or categories to che

As one of those people who went in and cleaned up much of the Matrimonials section after several of your earlier posts, I can attest to the fact that what you expect as a result of posting your concerns isn't necessarily what you get. But posted concerns about duplicates and the like are always looked into.

Re: DATING categories - sites or categories to che

I agree with you all, I should not have argued over my listing. I agree that, I should control my emotions...

And many thanks for your help...can I post few more?

Re: DATING categories - sites or categories to che

You can post more if you think we shouldn't list them, yes. We'll look into them and decide whether they should be ditched.
