I'm hoping someone can help me through this forum, if I am out of place posting here, I apologize, but I have written a few emails (hard to tell really, where to send them) none of which have produced any results.
First of all, I must commend this project and all who are involved. A huge undertaking and I can see that the intention is in the right place. But as with many things, once human intervention is involved, there can be problems. That which is DMOZ's strength is also its weakness. I bid you all well in your efforts.
Specifically, I own and maintain Steve's Authentic, my commercial site where I am selling my key lime pies. Although I know I could get more traffic and better placement by using my other site keylime.com, I have made a very conscious decision to keep them apart. Keylime.com is about the fruit itself, and I am not throwing pies in anyone's face.
The problem is with the review of Steve's Authentic, as the reviewer misspelled LIME and instead spelled LINE! The result is that other SEs who rely on DMOZ's listing and summary have picked up and are using the typo, resulting in an inaccurate SE result. Of course, I do very well when someone searches key line pie instead of key lime pie.
To be honest, I have tried to research SEO rules and tips as much as I can as a novice and do-it-yourselfer. All I'm asking for is a fair shake and to be on equal ground with my competitors. Can someone facilitate a correction (re-review and re-submission) of my site.
My thanks in advance.
