Question about whether a site has been submitted

I am unsure whether my site has been submitted. I realize that that sounds odd, but I am not sure whether I completed my submission or not...reason is one of personal nature, but suffice to say a valid one. If one submits a site does any follow-up email result, simply acknowledging the submission. This would allow me to answer this query.

I am well aware that double and/or multiple submissions may result in no listing. Thus I am reluctant to resubmit and jeopardize by chances of having my site listed at all.

I have already searched OPD and cannot locate my site in any category.

I am not requesting a progress update, I just want to know IF the submission was completed...and am well aware that I may wait for up to two years for it to be added to ODP. Please advise if this is possible.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Suggesting the site once more won't get you into trouble.

The actual question whether a site has been received is viewed as a status check and therefore forbidden under the rules of this forum. When you submit you should get an acknowledgement screen. You should save or print this screen if you want to check the category later to see if you have been listed. But bear in mind that it is quite common for people to submit to the category they want to be in not the one that best fits the site. When that happens an editor moves the site to the best fit category. So if you are going to submit again do yourself a big favour and make sure you pick the right category!

Thanks I'm just worried about:

"Please only submit a URL to the Open Directory once. Again, multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites."

Apologies if I have broken the forum rules as I am just trying to follow the rules.

I will re-submit and hope for the best.

We're used to dealing with _professional_ spammers. One or two extra submittals are not going to be noticed one way or another. There are two many honest mistakes that could cause something like that...

Don't be - one more submission won't make you a spammer in our eyes.

Don't worry about it. It is just that people phrase their questions in all kinds of ways in an attempt to strain information from us. But pvgool gives you the answer and if you do as I indicated that should confirm it has got through.

oneeye,

Thanks I didn't mean to imply "straining"...just didn't want to jeopardize my submission.

Thanks for your help.

Don't worry as I said. I realise you didn't realise that the question was a status request. My comment was for the benefit of others who might read your post and think if it's alright for optos_books to ask it's alright for me to ask... And some of them would ask even though they knew it wasn't alright, because of that. We appreciate people like you who try to follow the guidelines!

oneeye,

Thanks. I have submitted and kept copies of everything!

Hope this is not out of line, but based on your screen name - I just wanted to mention that I think you might appreciate the Optos Books logo.[Broken External Image]:http://www.optosbooks.com/.50_200px.jpg

Ah, a bookstore. Please submit ... twice!

Once in shopping, because you ship the things all over.

And once in Regional (the most specific geographic area), because you have a store where people can walk in and get fingerprints on stuff before they buy it.

This would not be spam. It would be a help. And thanks.

Hutcheson,

We are by appointment only, so fingerprints are at a minimum...and for some they have to wear art handlers' gloves!!!

I will submit to regional!
Thanks!

Regional requires that you submit to the location where your bricks and books are actually located, not to the category for the location from where you want to attract customers.
