http://www.jewelbasket.com

Hello,

I had applied to have my site added to the ODP about 1 month ago. Here is the section:

Top: Shopping: Jewelry: Varied Merchandise

Thank you
Zvi Dubin

I don't see your submission there, nor do I see it in the J subcategory, which probably didn't exist when you submitted previously, but would be more appropriate now. I also didn't see your http://store.yahoo.com/jewelbasket/ URL there (we're more likely to use that URL, since all of the actual shopping takes place on the Yahoo site).

I also don't see any evidence that your submission was moved or deleted, so my guess is that you submitted elsewhere, or that the submission did not get through. I suggest resubmitting.

I just re-submitted to
Top: Shopping: Jewelry: Varied Merchandise: J as suggested. Please include my requested URL www.jewelbasket.com . I will eventually move off of Yahoo Stores and create a standalone website with www.jewelbasket.com

Thank You for getting back to me. How long should I wait before checking the status of my re-submission again?

Yes, your submission is there. As the Forum Guidelines request, please wait at least a month before checking the status again. And please re-use this thread when you do.

Which URL is used will be up to the reviewing editor. However, I will mention that we list sites based on the content at the time of review, not based on what may or may not happen in the future. If the site changes, submitters (or anyone else) are always free to use the "Update URL" link to request changes to URLs, titles, descriptions, or categories.

I would actually suggest waiting several months before inquiring again. That category is very backed up, as lachenm mentioned, it is a newer category as sites are no longer being listed at the top level. I have been trying to work on it weekly, but as there are a large number of submissions throughout the alphabar there (and I am one of the editors who tends to sort by submission date). This is one of the cases, unfortunately, where it may take awhile before your site is seen.

I will wait a while to check back again. I would much prefer to have a listing under my domain www.jewelbasket.com rather than my yahoo store URL for many reasons. It looks much more professional for my customers for one. My site also has an "about diamonds" FAQ and I will be adding "about gold" and a FAQ on hard enameling. It is a well rounded website with good content. www.jewelbasket.com would make a nice addition to the section.

Thank you to the editors for responding so quickly.

If you need an editor to help, I am available (don't let my wife know I just said that).
