I hope I am not being a pest. I recently started a new job for the company I am submitting a listing for. www.dremed.com

Due to the importance of DMOZ.org it reflects on my work performance if the site is indexed here. So after waiting for a while I am seeking help.

I submitted the site under: http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Healthcare/Products_and_Services/Medical_Equipment/Catalogues/

I submitted several weeks ago. After no response I attempted to become an editor. I did make clear that I would make a good editor but had some vested interest in becoming one. I am not here at all to abuse the system but was immediately rejected :( for editorial status.

Does anyone think I am doing something wrong. I think the site is worthy and has been added to an appropriate catagory.

Any help would be appreciated. :eek:

My post slipped out without notice

Hmmm. I read I should reply to my initial post if it falls to page 3 and has not been answered. So here goes...

In looking over the catagories some of our direct competitors are in the catagory I submitted to, but I could see our domain fitting into two or three different catagories in this section of the site? The section I submitted to might not be the "most" relevant, but it really seems to be a matter of opinion. Will the editor just recatagorize our site if they decide to include it? Do you think I should resubmit? Should I hold tight and give the catagory editor some time to breath?

Alms for the poor...

This is my second reply to my own thread. I feel like a lepper. Could someone give me crumbs? Anything that would shed the tiniest bit of light. :confused:

I would like to resubmit based on everything I have learned by am afraid to because it might extend the process even further?

I haven't been able to verify the status, but four submittals have been deleted as "duplicates"--in four different categories. The various editors each claimed they left one for review, but didn't say where.

At this point I wouldn't resubmit.

I will hang tight...

Thanks for the update and clarification. I will hang tight and let the editors do their thing.

On a less serious note, I think it might be time to go put down a few stiff drinks and talk about the meaning of life down at my local watering hole. Cheers and a good weekend to ya!

Updated Status of www.dremed.com

Wondering what to expect with www.dremed.com . I had posted back in October and gotten an update that the site is sitting in que. The forum guidelines asked that I wait 6 months before posting again, so I am back for my 6 month checkup. Anything that you would be willing to do to help us out would be appreciated. Pretty much at our editors mercy and feel like we have done all we can do.

Regards,
Justin

Editors have been finding copies of your URL and related other URL's and "deeplinks" in various categories, duplicates have been removed. The latest removal was in April.

I would suggest you refrain from further submissions, since the presence of your site in multiple categories does tend to delay review, while it's sorted out which ones should be dleted and which left for review.

Deeplinks are pages within the sites or subdomains

Deeplinks

The site is rather large and there are several sub domains and past addresses that are related. Nothing malicous.

We have not submitted more than 2 or 3 domains / sub domains in the past year and they were for different divisions of our company. However, I will make sure that we do not submit any more.

Did not realize the problem(s) you are writing about existed.

Thanks for the feedback.
