Dear ODP Editor,

I submitted my website a few weeks ago and would appreciate if you could let me know the status. When I went through the application I did not notice a conformation page so I'm not even confident that it has reached you, but I also dont want to send duplicate entries!?

Hope you can help

Best wishes

We would be happy to provide you with a status update you requested, however you will need to read the Posting Guidelines and provide us with the necessary clickable link to the category in which it was submitted.

Once you have read the guidelines come back to this thread and post your request with the proper information and someone will be able to look into it for you.


Thanks.

Status of 'Tills Innovations' website

Dear Shadow575,

After trawling through my records I have found a list of various categories that I was considering entering and have not indicated which one I went for....oops, and have also looked over your site to see how I can find out which category I entered without any luck...sorry...so I have re-sent it to the following:-

Please let me know the status of http://www.tills-innovations.com, submitted to
1.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Recreation_and_Sports/Home_and_Garden/Gardening/Landscaping/Water_Features/

On your posting guidelines it says about listing the 'categories' and gives an example of two, but from other parts on the site in says you should only add to one category and the editor will put them into the others as he/she feels fit?

Hope you can help?

Thanks for all your assistance

Mike

You should submit to the one most specific category related to your site. The Posting Guidelines on the link that I gave you show the one case where two listings might be warranted. If the site offers something to the topical category (Example site fits in Home:Gardens: Designed Gardens and it can also get a listing for its locality at the Regional level (Example:Regional:North America:United States:California:Los Angeles:Business and Economy:Home and Garden . So in the example given in the guidelines it shows both the Business category it would belong and the Regional.

Regional locations are for where the site is located (i.e the contact address shown on the site where the company can be reached-not area to which it offers service) so I think Regional might be the best bet. However at a quick glance I think the better Regional location might be in the Suffolk:Bury St. Edmunds:Business and Economy since that is where your "Contact Us" shows your site. That is just my opinion, do not worry about submitting again, the editors there will determine the best location and move it. Also if they think it warrants a second listing in a topical category they will forward it there for review to.

I think you have done what you need to do for now. If you are interested check back to this thread no earlier than 1 month from your last submission and request the status check. Remember to provide the clickable link to that category you submitted to.

Thanks.

Hi Shadow575,

If you get time could you please let me know the following:-

I entered our company name 'tills innovations' into google and various compnaies we have linked to came up but also a link to this forum, i.e.

www.resource-zone.com/forum/ index.php?showtopic=26511&goto=nextnewest - 52k

and

www.resource-zone.com/forum/ showthread.php?p=129652&mode=threaded - 60k

Is this normal as I am concerned that it goes directly into my account and others could post via my account?

Many thanks

Mike

Please read this thread, I think it will answer your question. It has been decided that these forums themselves could provide useful information to surfers so they have been allowed to show up in searches.

Is this normal as I am concerned that it goes directly into my account and others could post via my account?

So I guess the answer is yes it is normal for them to be found during a search. I am not sure I understand the second part? Someone following the link that appears would be directed to this thread and be able to view it. It is public anyway so that is not in itself an issue. Someone following the link would be able to post here, but not as you (if that is what you are asking) they would have to create a user id and log in and any subsequent posts they made would show up under their id nick.

Hope that answers it for you.

Unfortunately, I do not edit in that category so I cannot provide you with the status update that you requested. I can however make your category link clickable so an editor who does have permissions to edit there can give you a status update

Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Recreation_and_Sports/Home_and_Garden/Gardening/Landscaping/Water_Features/

Hope that helps, thanks for being patient. Someone should be along who can give you an update. If in a couple of days noone has, feel free to bump this thread. Don't be offended, it is extremely busy right now for status checks and it may take those with the proper permissions a while to get over here.

Thanks.

Hi Shadow,

Thanks for your last message. Unfortunately no one has come back yet. Am I supposed to keep checking this thread or somewhere else to see the status?

At the moment I am checking here and going directly to the Dmoz website and typing in the comapny name, i.e. Tills Innovations, is the best thing to do?

Thanks again

Mike

Sorry, given the volume of threads we get here, sometimes queries can get missed, especially if another editor posts an informational response without actually giving the status (the fact that an editor is actively posting in a thread can lead other editors just skip past the thread thinking it is being taken care of).

Your site is awaiting review in that category.

Status Of Tills Innovations Website

Hi,

Just a quick email to see how the update is comming along? As I have mentioned in my previous email, I have been going to the Dmoz website and typing in our company name 'Tills Innovations' to see if we come up with a match. When we are listed will we come up? and if we do, what extra support does this forum provide with update status as we understand you are unable to give a completion date? Below is the link we are registered for which is clickable in an earlier thread.

1.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Recreation_and_Sports/Home_and_Garden/Gardening/Landscaping/Water_Features/

Hope I have not confused you and look forward to the update of our listing

Many thanks

Mike
