Hi,
can anyone advise me how one can check if a particular category does have an Editor assigned to it....
and possibly what the current workload situation is within a category -
ie no outstanding submissionto be reviewed, or 3 months backlog etc.
I ask because I expect this would give me some idea as to where my company site stood in the review process.
like many folk I first submited our website in the mistaken belief that inclusion in the Directory was a must for decent search engine rankings.
as others have also discovered, this is not the case -
in less than 4 months of enhancing our site content and getting decent backlinks, our small site now has a google pagerank of 1 and consistantly returns in the top 4 hits on google using a relevant search string.(even above sites with a better pagerank !)
the moral here for all those who pester the editors because they want good rankings on google etc ...
is that whilst being included in the directory would be very desirable - it is not actually necessary.
- go away and optimise your site rather than expect the hard work and dedication of others make up for your failings.
regards,
Kevin
