I worked through most of Item 2240

The one PNG travel guide is working for me and
Gwe: Young Man of New Guinea: A Novel Against Racism seems to be more than just shopping and imo is ok in A&E.

I didn't have time to look at the pic catalog or pngbuai.com at the moment if no one gets to it I will try to get back to it when time permits.

True, there is more than the shopping, it's just that all the extra stuff is boilerplate and in the form of external links to http://www.perey-anthropology.net/ which, btw, is already listed 4 times including the root. The only thing unique on the site in question is the sale of one book, and that surely must belong in Shopping/ rather than A&E. Furthermore, http://www.aestheticrealism.org/ is another affiliated site that is linked to and listed 8 times including the root url. I'm basically saying the "Gwe" site is merely an affiliate to the others which are amply represented already. In that respect, Gwe should not even be listed at all since there is a direct link to it on the perey-anthropology.net front page.

There are many sites like these that are inter-related, linked to each other and listed in the diectory. The question is, to what extent should they all be listed. Travel sites that are affiliates are not allowed and when they are identified, they are usually deleted. The same criteria should be applied in this case, IMO, as the Gwe site is nothing more than an affiliate of other listed sites even though it (Gwe) has its own domain.

Thanks Jean

Only got as far as the S's on the second pass so may have some more for you in a few days.

See you took out the redirects - wasn't sure about whether they were actually valid or not!

The redirects might be fine, but I did not have time (or inclination) to review the new urls. The category has an editor, so I placed these in unreviewed for him to consider.

Interesting about shadowline-lingerie - still doesn't work for me but domain history shows registered until april 2006 anyway so must be a problem my end.

Not so sure about http://www.intimatemoods.com/ to me it doesn't belong in lingerie (But only my opinion!) since it seems to be a party plan site rather than a lingerie site I agree that there is an online shop at the end of the line when you drill down but the main site is actually promoting a party plan scheme - again my opinion but lingerie doesn't normally include "This site contains sexualy explicit material" in it's terms and conditions

Hi, I'm new in this forum, and I'm new in this business, so please forgive me if I blunder. I've read the FAQ but can't seem to find directions how to deal with this. That's why I try here.

I've recently been hired for SEO work related to the above sites. glynos63 seems to suggest that there is something not correct with them. He's right that they belong to the same company, but in it self that cannot be a problem, can it? The sites have different content and represent the different services that this company offers.

Kavi.gr is a general Greek tourism website offering packages to tourists, focusing on group arrangements.

Greekhotels.gr is a directory of hotels in Greece.

Greece-ferries.com provides information about the Greek islands and how to get there by ferry (basically the only way to get to most of the islands).

Greekferries.gr provides information about the international ferry lines between Italy and Greece, with online reservation possibility.

Eco.gr is the holding company's (Ecoworld S.A.) website with company and contact information. It's a Greek thing, don't ask... ;)

These last 2 have never been in the DMOZ as far as I can determine.

I'm not totally sure how the system works, being a newbie, but what strikes me is that glynos63 comes in on June 16th, hangs around for 4 months and then completely disappears (since October 11th, 2005). In those 4 months he takes it upon himself to "clean out" the Greek section? Could we have become the victim of an over-zealous member with possibly a dose of self-interest (see his posting in http://resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=39908)?

If we have broken the ODP guidelines, I accept being kicked out of the dmoz for those sites (only kavi.gr remains now). But they _are_ different sites, they provide a different service and they cater for a different public, so I think they deserve an individual listing. Just because glynos63 is of the opinion that 1 site should contain _all_ the services of a given company and goes on a crusade to get the infidels banned, it doesn't mean that he is right. Would you ban www.live.com, www.hotmail.com, www.msn.com from the directory because they all belong to microsoft.com? I rest my case in the editors' hands...

With best regards,

photis

re item 2256

Without looking at your sites, but if your descriptions are accurate, and there's not too much interlinking or referral spam...

Kavi.gr may be listable as a travel agent

greekhotels.gr is probably not listable. We've already got a list of hotels... [cat]Regional/Europe/Greece/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Hotels[/cat] and subcats. Normally, hotel lists provided by travel agents are just links back so you can book the room though that agent.

Greece-ferries.com and Greekferries.gr might be listable under Transportation, provided that there is significant information about the services not readily found elsewhere. Remember the DMOZ mantra: Unique Content.

eco.gr is probably not listable -- but, depending on layout, the editors might prefer eco.gr to kavi.gr.

It should be pointed out that, although I can edit in [cat]Regional/Europe/Greece[/cat], I haven't, in part because of your note
It's a Greek thing.
