Sites submission status

Awb · Apr 23, 2003

Hello

We submitted a few sites in the past and I forgot the categories where we submitted them. May I ask you to check our status, in order to know if we may resubmit or not?
The sites are
www.naturesyouth.com
www.consumernutrition.com
www.frosen.ro

Thanks!

Without knowing the exact categories there isn't much we can tell you if the site is just "still waiting". But there is something I can see:

http://www.naturesyouth.com/
Waiting in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Alternative/Life_Extension/Human_Growth_Hormone - some time ago a submission was rejected since it had as good as no products to sell (mostly "coming soon") , another submission was moved to the above category some days ago and is now waiting for review.

http://www.consumernutrition.com/
http://www.frosen.ro/
Both have not yet been touched by an editor, so they most likely are waiting whereever you submitted.

Awb · Apr 23, 2003

Ok, thank you
Should we wait for the other 2? Or should we resubmit them?

You should tell us where you submitted the other two if you'd like a status on them. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Obviously that would be the perfect choice, but I wasn't the one that submitted them and have no idea where the other guys from my company have tried to list the sites. They aslo can't recall <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
We will be more careful about this in the future <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

How long ago did you submit them? If it was six months to a year or something then it probably wouldn't hurt to resubmit them to the most appropriate categories. Make sure that you've read what the guidelines say on titles and descriptions and submit to the single most appropriate category for each one, to give yourself the best possible chance of a speedy processing. After you've submitted again you can come back here a month or two later to find out how they're getting on.

If they were only submitted a few weeks ago then I'd give it some more time.

Awb · Apr 23, 2003

I will wait for a few more weeks and check their status here..If nothing is new, I will resubmit at that time based on your recommendations.
Thanks again.

Keep in mind, if you end up resubmitting, that frosen.ro can only be submitted to somewhere under World/Românã since it isn't in English (the Amazon.com links on the right don't count as English content).

Awb · May 6, 2003

Can someone please check again the status of the following sites?
http://www.naturesyouth.com/
http://www.consumernutrition.com/
http://www.frosen.ro/

Thanks in advance!

lachenm · May 6, 2003

As the Forum Guidelines request, please wait at least one month between status update requests. Thanks!

motsa · May 6, 2003

And when you come back to ask after May 23, please make sure you give us a clickable link to the categories you submitted the sites to.

Awb · May 23, 2003

Can you please check the following sites:
http://www.naturesyouth.com/
in
http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Alternative/Life_Extension/Human_Growth_Hormone

and
http://www.consumernutrition.com/
http://www.frosen.ro/

For the last 2 URLs I don't know the category. I thought I should check here first before resubmitting.
If we should resubmit those 2 please let me know.

Thanks

For most URLs we need to know the category. If you can't remember, go, find the right category, submit (again), wait a month, write it down this time, and ask about their status then.

Awb · May 23, 2003

Ok, I will do so for those 2 URLS. But can you check the other one plss?

hutcheson · May 23, 2003

It's waiting in a short queue.

Someone must like vanity domains. but at least the one you submitted seems to be the real home page (of which all those others are aliases.) In a heavily-spammed category, that's important.

Awb · May 24, 2003

Yes that site has a few clones, but they are not exactly the same thing (meaning they are pointed to different backend parts, that provide different facilities). However, the content the user sees is almost the same so we only submited the main one, www.naturesyouth.com and none of the others will be submited again.
How can we be sure that if someone else submits the others, you will not remove the main one for spam? I assure you that we know your policy and we will not try to list some of the other clones.

>How can we be sure that if someone else submits the others, you will not remove the main one for spam?
We really don't take that extreme step that often. Except in the most vicious cases, we save one submitted URL for review on its merits, and we have several intermediate steps that will keep a site listed while limiting the editor time wasted by repeated submittals of it. We are aware of the problem of spammers trying to get someone else blacklisted, and we do take precautions to avoid getting caught by this -- often even contacting the webmaster. (The other problem is that innocent webmasters can be victimized by incompetant and dishonest SERP perps: if, say, the perp is fired or otherwise dissuaded from his antisocial behavior, the problem is solved and our users can still find the malpromoted site.

>I assure you that we know your policy and we will not try to list some of the other clones.
Yes, I did not find those sites in our submittal queues.
