Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com

Ok, you are going to have to have your tech people do a 301 redirect on the old domain to the new one. It appears the content is mirrored but the 301 is the final proof. You should do that anyway as Google will penalize you if it finds mirrors of your site. If you do the 301 - post back and I will take care of the update for you.

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com

Thanks for your help.

I didn't think our current page is a mirror since all the links point to our updated site, but otherwise the content on the first page is almost identical. Thanks for letting us know that can be a problem.

I've seen some redirects that automatically redirect (using Java), but have a message page for a few seconds before doing so. Is this something that would qualify? If so, we can get that completed today or Monday and we'll be on our way.

Thank you very much for your help.

A 301 permanent redirect is really what you want. If you just want to put a note on the old page saying that you moved that will work as well. I would like to see you do the 301 permanent redirect just for you own good but however you want to do it. I just need to know it is the site owner asking for this.

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com

What you have now is sufficient evidence to show that the site has moved. The 301 redirect thing just means that are dead link crawler will pick it up so that the change gets higher priority. It will also allow Google to remove the old site from its index. Basically, it's not required, but it's nice to do if you can and are willing to do so.

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com

OK, we got the redirect in place (finally).

We had it, but then it didn't work. Turned out we had to change the name with the FTP client, since Windows named the file ".htaccess.txt", which doesn't work.

Anyway, thanks so much for your help--it goes with your name. Thanks to totalXSive, too.

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com

By the way, thanks for letting us know about the Google penalty/mirror thing.

We got the 301 redirect rolling last week and it automatically brings users to our new page. Any news on the update? I still see our old site linked at the old location.

Thanks for your help.

Just checking on any progress. The redirect seems to work well. We plan to stop funding the old site after this quarter, so would like to get the update in place by then if possible.

Any news?

By the way, I like the new format. Took me a while to find things, but I think it's quicker now.

Thanks,

I updated the url and the title of the site. If you want to change categories you are going to have to submit an update url request to the category you want to change from. Give the public side of the directory a few days to update, don't use search to find your site, look at the category itself. Sometimes search takes longer to update.

Have a Great Day!

designhaus · Mar 16, 2004

Thanks for the update help. We'll check it out in a couple of days and resubmit for a category change again at that time.

Update status for industrialdesignhaus.com

Hello,

We submitted a site update request on 08 April and would like to check the status of the update. The details are below. (Yes, we used the "Update Listing" tool in the category we would like.)

Thanks,

Description:
Award-winning industrial design firm focusing on ergonomic human interfaces, parametric SolidWorks modeling, and manufacturing engineering.

Last year we grew from a sole proprietorship to an LLC, reformatted our web site, picked up some design awards, and began gaining industry recognition.

We would like to update our description and move from our existing category:
http://dmoz.org/Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/Consulting/Design/

to:
http://dmoz.org/Business/Business_Services/Design/Industrial_Designers/

This is because we feel this is a better classification of who we are as an industrial design firm, since we better fit the profile of industrial designers than that of engineers.

Thanks,

Jeff Mowry

designhaus · May 10, 2004

Thanks

OK, we'll check back in about a month.

Much grass,

Update status check

Hello,

Since it's been about 30 days since our last inquiry, I'm scheduled to post again to see if there has been any progress with our listing update. Any news thus far?

I appreciate your help.

Sorry, there's been no change in status. Please note we've increased the time between status updates to six months. Feel free to come back on or after 10 December for another update.

designhaus · Dec 21, 2004

Hello,

Well, it's been a tad over six months and our site has since adopted a new look.

Any news on the category update?

Merry Christmas!

No change in status of the update request.

designhaus · Dec 21, 2004

arubin,

Thanks for the quick reply. At this rate, we've been waiting on this update for almost a year. What would you recommend we do? Waiting longer is OK, I suppose, but it seems a strange option for such an ambitious project (DMOZ). Need more editors? I'd like to clear this up soon, if possible. Anything I can do?

Thanks for being an editor!

What can I do?

Hello,

I noticed this is one of the longest threads in this forum. Is there anything I can do to help resolve my issue and get the placement of my site among the other industrial designers?

After such a long time, I'm willing to consider broad options.

Thanks,

Jeff Mowry
