Status of scylaxonline.com

Any word on the status -- it was submitted so long ago -- I believe more than a year.

Any word on the category where you made your submission (in the form of a clickable link), and without which we likely cannot assit you?

The site was submitted through the www.dmoz.org website. It has been so long that I have forgotten the category. Disappointed to know even today it did not show up in the listing. It sells Indian Handicrafts.

Well, if you were going to submit today, where would you submit?

We can't help you if you don't help us. There are more than 590,000 separate submission folders and we aren't going to look through all of them.

Never mind, in the spirit of "I'd rather be lucky than good" I managed to find out where it was submitted.

You initally submitted:

http://www.scylaxonline.com/store to the category Business/International_Business_and_Trade/Import_and_Export/Handicrafts where a reviewing editor shortened the URL to http://www.scylaxonline.com/ and sent it to Shopping/Ethnic_and_Regional/Asian/India where it awaits review.

Just wanted to know when it was sent to the new category Shopping/Ethnic_and_Regional/Asian/India -- just to estimate how long it has been in the queue there.

We generally don't provide that information. What difference would it make if it was moved a year ago or last week? It really is quite meaningless. If for example I told you it was moved there yesterday,and there are 3,000 other sites awaiting review in that category and no editor has done anything in that category for three years you might conclude it will take a long time to get listed. But if an editor applied today to that that category, and decided to review the last site in the list, you would be listed tomorrow.

If on the other hand I told you it was moved there a year ago and there are no other sites waiting, you might come back and complain that there is some conspiracy to not list your site.

In either case, what will you do different if you knew your site will be listed tomorrow - would you sit back and relax and decide no more marketing is needed, and wealth will arrive soon?

If you know your site will not be listed for two years - do you give up and decide no business will ever come your way?

Our view is it make no difference and the figures provide nothing usefull, but do take an editor time to look them up, so don't give figures on the size of heaps.
