Hi,

My main site, www.playbookmanager.com, is listed in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Sports/Football/American/Coaching_and_Instruction/. It is a good fit for it, and I would like it to stay there. However, we have recently added a store to the site at the url in the subject and submitted it to http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Sports/. I was wondering about the status of it. Thanks.

I doubt that it will be listed as the Shopping editors usually will only list one link to a site.

Hi Jordan,

Thanks - that explains it for me. Should I then request that my listing be moved to http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Sports/? If so, how do I request the move?

I don't know about that - I looked at your store and I think you might qualify for listing in Shopping Sports. The main category has over a thousand unreviewed though so unless you can find a specialized category for it might take a while.

I noticed that you developed some playbookmanager software and have a nice little section of information on it. Lots of content - neat site. If you cannot get your main store in you might consider submitting that site somewhere in shopping.

Ack - I did not notice that the main site was in Shopping, I thought it was in Sports. It can only have one listing in Shopping. Disregard my above advice. Sorry.

Thanks, anyway. I've already submitted a post to the Site Sumbission forum to get information about how to request the move.

Sorry apeuro /images/icons/blush.gif. thought I was doing the right thing by asking the question in the Submission forum. So, I'll ask it here:

I didn't want to move the main URL, but I learned from the earlier replies that the Shopping category doesn't allow two listings per site. So, it seems that the best thing to do, now that the site also contains a sports equipment store, is to request that it be moved to http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Sports/, because that is where all the competitors for the store are. Also, http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Sports/ is used by far more directory services than the category that we are currently in. I know that I can request a change in the description with Update URL. How do I request the move? Thanks.

Well, I've watched the forum and seen other posts answered - so I suppose this is a dead thread. Anyway, I submitted an Update URL form, and hope that it will eventually be taken care of. At least, thanks for not deleting my site because I may have been a pest.

We do not delete quality sites from the directory. You did the right thing by submitting an update request - it is the proper procedure. I would not worry too much about where you are listed in the ODP as very few people use it to search. The important thing is that you are listed - imho.
