Title tag abuse

Title tag abuse with affilate scheme and pretty much irrelvant.

Ciao.com

I looked at that one when you drew that category to my attention.

The title is not wrong. In this case it is following the standard pattern for deep links (i.e. links to sub-sections or individual pages of a site). Site Name: Page/Section Name.

We list reviews if the content is substantial.

However I am looking at other aspects of the category. You may see some changes.

[Edited to add] The category has been moved and renamed UK: Society and Culture: Chats and Forums

The chat seems to be a Symlink.. Maybe it should be unsymed and changed to Chat & Forum (it seems to be symed to the old location and redirected to the new location without a direct link).

The change is just not fully showing yet on the public side. It does make it look a bit odd at the moment. All will be well in a day or two.

Hi,

There is a duplicate listing in:

These are the two I'm speaking of:

They have been there for some months now

double listings

Hi,

I have found two cases of double listings in the category

http://dmoz.org/Society/Relationshi.../Europe/Russia/

1st: Agency Natalia ( http://www.agenzienatalia.com/matrimoniale )

the same content: Russian Love Bureau (http://www.russianlovebureau.it)
----------------------------------------------------------

and 2nd: Verona marriage agency ( http://verona.wnet.ru/ )

the same content: Mr. Privalov's Acquaintance Club ( http://acq.wnet.ru/ ).

Not good at all!
