Quick fix: URL cleanup

Category:
http://dmoz.org/Business/Arts_and_Entertainment/Media_Production/Video/Wedding_Videographers/

For the Video Visions Production Co. website of:
http://www.video-visions.addr.com

Should the website address be changed to:
http://www.video-visions.org ??

This way ODP is promoting their domain name and if the company were to change hosting providers, you wouldn't end up with a broken link. I'm not sure what standard practice is.


I have no affiliation with this company - just trying to help clean things up.

We would class http://www.video-visions.org a redirect or 'cloaked' URL as it 'redirects your browser to a completely different URL'.

There are a variety opf reasons while redirect URLs of any type are not included in the ODP: ranging from helping cut down spam to ensuring that our automatic link checker 'Robozilla' can correctly check the status of the page.

An editor should have made a note that http://www.video-visions.org is a 'vanity/redirect/cloaked' URL for the http://www.video-visions.addr.com - therefore if the latter is ever marked as 'dead' by Robozilla (or discovered dead by an editor) then an editor can easily visit that URL to find the new URL.

&gt;&gt; This way ODP is promoting their domain name &lt;&lt;. ODP doesn't promote anything, we are just a listings directory <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Many thanks for the heads up, but it was deliberately done like that for a reason. Cheers <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for trying to help us.

http://www.video-visions.org is a redirect to http://www.video-visions.addr.com and shouldn't be listed.
