Status of www.beauticianssecret.com.au

I've submitted the site www.beauticianssecret.com.au quite a while ago, I think into the following category:
Business: Consumer Goods and Services: Health and Beauty: Cosmetics
Could you please tell me the status ?

You submitted to Regional as well at http://dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/Australia/Business_and_Economy/Shopping/Health_Products which was not the correct place. Consequently this site was updated to the parent company site and listed in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/Australia/New_South_Wales/Localities/W/Warriewood/Business_and_Economy/Industries/Manufacturing/ under www.pharmacare.com.au as Pharmacare Laboratories - in Regional this is a correct listing.

The Business editor saw the url change and deleted your request. I would treat www.beauticianssecret.com.au as a deeplink of www.pharmacare.com.au when reviewing a Topical listing personally, but I don't edit in the business tree, and am unaware of specific rules in that area.

I'd suggest resubmitting with a note pointed to this thread and request a re-review of the site.

I'll take your advice and re-submit it, as the site is a brand name similiar to its competitor www.pg.com listed in two Categories Business: Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals: Pharmaceuticals: Manufacturers and Business: Healthcare: Products and Services: Hygiene Disposables: Manufactured Products and their brand www.olay.com listed in Business: Consumer Goods and Services: Health and Beauty: Cosmetics. I have read the guidelines and believe that www.beauticianssecret.com.au offer "substantial information, tips, advice, and usage information for consumers ".

Wasn't this previously discussed here? You should have restarted the discussion in that thread.

yep, it was there. I knew it was familiar, but a quick forum search didn't pick up the match. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

I thought it would be clearer to take beautician secret site as a separate discussion as it appeared to be the one highlighted as a deeplink and has not been listed because of it, but has merit to be listed separately as it fulfils the guidelines similar to its competitor discussed above.

Well, we're here now. Don't get too hung up on 'deeplink' as terminology. Basically there is only one company - Pharmacare. Their web presence could be done in many ways, and they have chosen to seperate parts of the business (product lines) to seperate URL's.

They could just as easily have made them groups of pages on the main site - which is what most people see as a 'deeplink'. pharmacare.com.au/beauticianssecret.

As these seperate domains mimic that structure we just refer to them as deeplinks of the main company. For a Regional listing, only 1 site is listed for a company, at a level that encompasses it's physical location (based on verifiable information on the web site itself).

A Topical listing, on the other hand may list deeplinks if the deeplink is specific to the category, contains unique information for the category, meets the category requirements, and it, or it's parent company is not listed elsewhere in the same tree.

So if pharmacare was listed in Business: Consumer Goods and Services: Health and Beauty , it would be unlikely that beauticianssecret.com.au would be listed in Business: Consumer Goods and Services: Health and Beauty: Cosmetics .

I really need to bow out at this point as it is a decision to be made by a Business editor.

Thanks for clarifying the definition of a deeplink.
In the case of Pharm-a-care it is only listed in the regional category and is not listed in the Business: Consumer Goods and Services: Health and Beauty: Cosmetics
I hope that the re-review of this site will consider this point.
