#2539 and #2540 dealt with, thanks.

2 US Library of Congress listings - That is because neither links to the other, unfortunately, and both are useful.

HotelBahrain.com - I understand and share your reservations, but have to admit that at the moment we do not have all the hotels listed that it lists, so it does add value to the category. Since it has broken links to some hotel sites, it really would be better to list the hotels directly. For the moment I'm leaving it.

Al Harthy Al Araimi Travel & Cargo LLC - Worked for me. I've moved it though.

mirrored site on DMOZ

Hello,

There is a site listed under http://dmoz.org/Home/Personal_Finance/Retirement/Annuities/

annuityfyi is mirrored content of annuitycity.com annuitiesfyi.com, annuityplanet.com annuityhelper.com annuitymaven.com. It is my understanding that mirrored content is not allowed under DMOZ rules and the unique content rules. Although it is unknown to me whether or not they submitted any of these other sites to the DMOZ, I do believe it hurts those webmasters that try to put quality out on one site and do not mirror it to gain rank. Plain and simple it is a deceptive practice.

As long as only one of the mirrored sites is listed, then the listing is fine. If more than one is listed, then all but one would be delisted.

I hate to nit pick, but I will. In your submission guidlines it says:

Do not submit mirror sites. Mirror sites are sites that contain identical content, but have altogether different URLs.

So how does listing a mirrored site on DMOZ enhance the surfers experience?

What you are basically saying is you will list sites that practice spam and dirty SEO tricks. That is crazy and you need to have a firm policy. Either say, yes, mirrored sites can be included in the DMOZ as long as you try to list only one or, no, mirrored content (which is what your guidelines currently say). Sorry, but your reply seems to not make sense according to the submission guidlines. I am not trying to start or pick a fight, but I feel that honest webmasters need to be rewarded while dishonest web masters should not be rewarded.

This is the last post I will make about this here as it is relevant, but will take up too much room on this thread.

The guidelines say do not suggest mirror sites, but it doesn't say do not suggest mirrored sites. This is an important distinction.

Let's take this site that you have an issue with - not all of the sites you listed can be mirrors, otherwise they would all be blank pages. One of them has to be an original site. Sometimes it's hard to determine exactly which one is the original, so one of the mirrors might be listed instead of the original. But just because a site is mirrored doesn't mean the original site being mirrored can't be listed.
