Hello,

I have a website targetting specific users from specific countries us, canada, uk & australia.

For branding purposes of our domain name we have created subdomains eg; uk.ourdomain.com, ca.ourdomain.com with pricing and currency, billing etc done for each specific country under there countries sub-domain.

The thing is we are physically located in Australia, And the services we offer web hosting, design, seo etc most consumers come from those specific countries i mentioned. I was wondering if we will run into any problems if we submit each individual subdomain to the regional-> countries best-fit category.

Will editors have a problem with the fact we are located in AU but are specifically submitting to each country we are targetting.

Please note most of the content will be the same as the .com(us version) probably just change of colours to reflect the countries colours eg; canada will have a bit of red and white and uk a bit of green in their, etc. But the pricing, currency etc will be in that countries currency.

Will there be any for-seen problems trying to get each domain indexed by a editor at Dmoz. Or am i on the right track if i do it this way.

Thanks,

Dave

One thing to be clear about - generally sites in ODP are organized by topic/business location of site and NOT target audience of site. If all you had different between the subdomains was layout, they would definitely not qualify for multi-listings. However, if you have pricing in the different currencies, this could be considered unique content and perhaps worthy of separate listing. But taken into consideration with your product (website design), I would still only list you in Australia partly to use a consistent methodology for listing website designers, and partly because I think users would look for a website designer near where they live.

"We categorize by topic, not by audience"

Yes, a good way of putting it, and one which marketers almost invariably find impossible to accept or sympathise with. So we have, e.g., "fancy pen-and-pencil-set" retailers submitting their sites to Arts/Authors (well, authors use pencils, don't they?)
Thank you for not doing this.

There's nothing to keep you from creating separate pages for clients in different regions (and buying banner ads or yellow page listings pointing to them), but for knowledge-directory purposes, the unique content is your service -- and there's only one of it.
