Good afternoon all,
While I sit back, relax and chill whilst waiting for ODP editors to review my site for entry, I am curious about this:
multiple entries of sites (which as far as i can understand under ODP rules is bad) i searched for one of our competitors and found this. I presume the below will be edited to remove the specific ID's. But is this allowed?
no1 and no3 are both the same URL, no2 is a redirect to the same site. Is this allowed? I did email the editor of the catagory but i'm unsure as to whether this is fair game or not!
good luck guys,
all the best

The redirecting URL is certainly not right, and was almost certainly a mistake / oversight by the editor who listed it (even if the site wasn't redirecting when it was listing, it would be counted as a mirror of the other URL). That should now be fixed (but updates may take a few days to propagate to the public servers.

The multiple listings are probably ok in this case. A site can certainly be listed once in each language in which is has useful and unique content. Since they appear to ship to more than one country, the listing in Shopping/Clothing is valid. Since it's a British company, the listing in the UK Regional shopping category is probably ok.
