Re: Status of www.freemedicineprogram.com

Jim,

You are correct about the url for the DMOZ directory page.

The problem is - we've submitted in the past with no results. Do you know if there is some kind of a technical problem with our site?

Your submission made it through just fine. It's there. An editor will at some point take a look.

No change, I'm afraid - the site still awaits editorial review. Thanks.

I hate to say this but you have very little chance of getting a listing in the directory. We do not list sites whose primary purpose is to collect information via a form. It is called a lead generation site and that does not make it a bad site, just not something that is listable in the directory.

With that said, I did not reject the site. I will leave it for a Health editor to review and make the final decision but I just thought I should let you know.

We do not "collect leads", but help people who can not afford medicine receive it free of charge.

From the forum guidelines....



If your site has been rejected, please keep in mind that arguing about the editorial decision will not be tolerated. Please note that at the bottom of the "add URL" screen it says "Netscape and the ODP have unfettered editorial discretion to determine the structure and content of the directory" and "a site's placement in the directory is subject to change or deletion at any time"

And....

"Rejected and not likely to be accepted anywhere" is a reasonable status.

But in fact you charge a processing fee - you don't do it "free of charge", and require applicants to fill out a form, so we still call it a "lead generator"

I merged your new thread with your old thread. Please bookmark, as we ask that you do not start new threads for the same topic (too hard to follow).

Your suggestion is still pending review in that category.

And ... If I'm reading the logs correctly, the status you've gotten is wrong.

The site is waiting for review in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Pharmacy/Resources_and_Guides . It may also be waiting in http://dmoz.org/Health/Pharmacy/Prescription_Services/

DO NOT RESUBMIT ANYWHERE

You may ask again in this thread (after the moderators merge all of them) in 6 months.
