Just where would you suggest I submit this site to

I have a site which I feel could well be listed in two or three categories, but at last look neither of these categories has an editor. I haven't fully read the guidelines about posting ones web site here but I feel that only an editor can tell me where to submit. My site is www.coos-bay.net and could fall under various categories. Coos Bay, Oregon: Computer website design:Computer Repair:Free online assistance: Any assistance one of the editors could give me would be greatly appreciated. I understand you may have to edit my msg (sorry about that) but I'm just a tad upset that I have a quality site that ODP has not taken a look at. Thanks

As far as content goes, I think I'll leave that for an editor more experienced in that area. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

But it is acceptable to have both a listing in Regional, and a listing in the appropriate topical cat.

As far as I can see, you only submitted it a month ago (at least, that's when you submitted to Oregon Guides and Outfitters (which isn't the place for it so it was moved to await review in Coos Bay Tourism). That's not very long ago.

Judging by the content, the site really only qualifies for a single Regional listing somewhere under Coos Bay and no listing in a Topical category. Other than a couple of brief mentions that you're available, you don't actually provide any outfitter information; you say you do web design but in most places you're pointing people to other web designers; you appear to provide some computer support but don't really supply much in the way of information about it; you provide some tips for web design but that is also minimal in terms of content and isn't enough to warrant listing in a Help cat. To be honest, most of the site looks like a personal home page, not a business or even a tourism site, and as such doesn't have enough unique content to warrant listing anywhere outside of Coos Bay in Regional. I'd say that the category you are currently waiting in (Coos Bay Travel and Tourism) is about the best you're going to get.
 

Thanks for answering my questions. You are right - my site is primarily a "home site" and I totally understand what you are saying. I appreciate your help and quick response. Good luck to the ODP staff - happy holidays to you all.
