Status of MA/Localities/S/Shrewsbury/Bus+Economy

Hi, again,

I submitted a few of my clients' web sites 1 1/2 months ago. A few of them got listed, which is great news!

Can someone give me the status of the others, posted for Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, which have not been listed? I figured I would enter a separate note for each category that I submitted to:

In the
http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Massachusetts/Localities/S/Shrewsbury/Business_and_Economy/
directory, I posted the following businesses:

http://www.thedirectorycenter.com/clients/100178 (Dean Park Pizza)

http://www.thedirectorycenter.com/clients/100180 (Willikers TexMex Restaurant)

http://www.thedirectorycenter.com/clients/100266 (Lalajava Coffee Shop)

http://www.thedirectorycenter.com/clients/100278 (Shrewsbury Pizza)

FYI, I submitted very similar sites to similar categories, and they were recently listed:

http://www.thedirectorycenter.com/clients/100275 (Miranda Bread Cafe and Bakery)
http://www.thedirectorycenter.com/clients/100274 (Empire Dry Cleaning)

For more background on my clients's sites, check out:

Thanks,

Re: Status of MA/Localities/S/Shrewsbury/Bus+Econo

All four of these, submitted on August 16th, are waiting for review.

Let me take this occasion to give you some advice on the submitted titles and descriptions.

The title should be the name of the business, i. e. the restaurant. Please do not add "Located in Shrewsbury MA" to it. This is totally unnecessary (it is clear from the category name) and will be deleted.

The description should not repeat the title (i. e. the restaurant name). "Located in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts" is superfluous here, as well. Don't use first person ("We serve lunch and dinner") and avoid promotional language ("We have a great selection"), as editors have to delete them and invent a new text.

Thanks for keeping this in mind. It'll really help us volunteer editors. It's a much nicer job with submitted titles and descriptions that don't need complete rewriting. (And it's faster editing, too, which also helps the submitter.)

Thanks for reminding me about these!
