Real Estate Agent site: everything done correctly but two years and I'm still waiting

motsa said:

it would actually significantly increase the amount of time it currently takes for suggested sites to be reviewed, partly because of the not-insignificant extra work involved and partly because fewer editors would be willing to undertake that extra work for those types of sites.

it is hard to understand how a yes/no answer task* is significant extra work in the context of the time consumed by the subjective work of reviewing an entire website for real value.

*opening up a a site (example), copying/pasting a number into it and clicking submit.

but if you say so i believe you, because i'm obviously not an editor...

It's not as though verifying a license number would eliminate the need to view the entire site, would it. (Correct answer: no, it wouldn't.) So even if it's only an additional couple of minutes to verify the license for each agent (after all, you have to locate the appropriate site, find the license on the agent's site, copy and paste, wait for the results, etc.), it's still an additional couple of minutes that you wouldn't normally be spending on something that isn't really our business.

an agent's license number is public information and the license DBs are per state. gathering the 50 links where the searches are done is a one time job. having to enter a license # would keep a lot of listings from even being submitted. i don't know how what % of RE agent's submissions are additional sites for the same agent (or submissions by ghost agents), but if is too high it would justify the extra 30 seconds before the review begins, not to mention fewer sites to deal with from the start.

just my 2 cents.

Um, not all real estate agents live in the US. Just in case you didn't know.

Short answer: it's got Buckley's chance of ever happening -- we are not the Internet police -- so there's really no point in discussing it here.

i don't think it has anything to do with being the internet police, but solely finding better ways to get more out of each editor's time.

but it surely won't happen if you say so...

Great Stuff

Specific inclusion criteria for Real Estate sites.
General inclusion criteria for all sites.

Thats good stuff!

I can use this to show clients. This will be good information for my your eveyones clients. I am going to print this off and show peopel when I am making sites.

This will give me the oportunity have more web development $$. Again I think the more we educate ourselves and our clients the easier site creation and inclusion will be.
