#2449 Kroll offers a range of services which we cannot easily fit into one category, plus risk assessments for travellers which seem well worth a deep link.

#2451, #2452, #2455-2458 dealt with, thanks.

#2453 meets our current guidelines in that it provides plenty of verifiable information.

#2454 - removed by our link checker on 15/Apr/2006.

#2460 - gives details of services and prices, plus address and other contact details. A slim site, certainly, but more than a business card, I'd say.

This company is owned by Kroll, who own Ontrack, therefore they have many incarnations on the directory.

Penang The Cultured Pearl Of The Orient - The word "cultured" seems not to be in the official title, not that Penang might not be that way... Also, "sponsered" is a misspelling. Furthermore, there are a total of 11 instances of "sponsered" in the directory.

Pictures of Penang - Seems this site should be under "Maps and Views". I don't believe "fullsome" is a word.

Visit Penang - is almost entirely external links along with Amazon.com books for sale - very little content of its own.

Wandesta's Travel Guides Penang - Domain currently parked.


http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Malay...au_Pinang/Travel_and_Tourism/Travel_Services/

Hotels Penang - This is purely an r24.org affiliated site for taking hotel reservations - not a real good travel services site.


http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Malay...ritories/Pulau_Pinang/Guides_and_Directories/

Malaysian manufacturers trade portal. - Redirects to http://e-directory.com.my/. Title could use some help also.

Penang : Pearl Of Orient - Pearl of the Orient.

Penang Homepage - Looks like ought to be called PenangWeb, plus "penang" and "net" should both be capitalized.

Penang Tour and the last entry are mirrors with the latter redirecting to the former.


http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Malaysia/States_and_Federal_Territories/Pulau_Pinang/Weather/

Disciples, Penang, Malaysia, Catholic Bible Study for love of God - just doesn't sound like weather to me.

#2466 - I'm still not inclined to remove the Ibas listings. Although it has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kroll Ontrack since January, so far there has been no change from the position when we last discussed this. The Kroll website does not contain the Ibas information. However I have added information to the Ibas description, so it is flagged as a subsidiary.

#2467 dealt with, thanks. Needed a change of title and category, as well as description.

#2468-#2471 dealt with, thanks.

#2472 - It is not a problem for a site to have both a regional and topical listing. It's quite common in fact, as long as the site meets the criteria both for a topical and regional category. Both listings have now been updated to the new url.

#2473 and #2474 dealt with, thanks.

#2475 Computer Forensics is in fact mentioned on the site, under IT Solutions, but since they offer many services, I have made the description more general.

Misleading Info and Multiple listings

Category:
dmoz.org/Sports/Water_Sports/Surfing/Surf_Reports/Cams/
URL:
www.pacificcoasttravelinfo.com

1. There are no live webcams and there have not been for years.
2. Where is the Surf report or info?
3. They own multiple sites no unique information and are simply designed to cross link to each other for increased Page Rank to generate Google Ad clicks and other advertising revenue.

This website is owned/operated by Image Marketing Service as you can see at the bottom of their pages and on their website where they actually admit to this:
http://www.imagemarketingservice.com/

The same operator creates almost identical sites for the purposes of cross linking. You can find crosslinks between them and can see that the information is duplicated and/or almost indentical to the other sites with whom they are affiliated.
A couple of their other 'related' sites are:
puertoescondidoinfo.com and puertoconnection.com
