Hello,

Just wondering the status of my site. I dont quite remember the category I submitted to, but I think it might be the following.

http://dmoz.org/Business/Energy_and_Environment/Renewable/Solar/Electric/Consumer_Items,_Gadgets_and_Toys/

Thanks ahead for any replies.

Looks like you didn't remember good enough: It is not waiting in the category you named and it was not touched by an editor yet. So I have no chance to know where to look any further, sorry.

dregna · Nov 18, 2003

Sorry about that...I believe this is the correct category:

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Home_and_Garden/Kitchen_and_Dining/Gadgets/

Thanks ahead of time for any replies.

Nope, not in there either. Your site has not been touched by an editor and is not in either of the unreviewed queues you mentioned. You should resubmit.

Hello,

I went ahead as requested and resubmitted www.cgadgets.net to the directory. I was hoping you could let me know where the site stands. Following is the category I submitted to:

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/C/

Thanks alot,

Hello,

I was just checking out the category which I submitted to:

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/C/

and noticed a faulty link: (http://cheaper-than-retail.com/). Maybe you could boot them and slide our site right in

You can report all those dead links in the Abuse forum Hijack thread. That would be much appreciated and is a positive activity to do while waiting.

I took care of the dead link you reported - Thanks!

dregna · Feb 10, 2004

Not a problem, I'll be sure to report any other dead links. As for my initial question, any news regarding my submission? I'm pretty sure that this category fits our site just right, what do you think?

Thanks ahead for any replies...

You are waiting for review in that category - no need to resubmit again.

Hello,

I've decided to move the Convenient Gadgets website from www.cgadgets.net (which was the url submitted to odp) to www.convenientgadgets.com. Does this mean I should re-submit with the new domain name? Thanks ahead for any replies...

Any idea on this? Hopefully there is no need to re-submit since the URL has changed, please let me know...thanks.

My advice would be to see where it ends up, but it looks like the new URL is more likely to be listed, if the editor in question looks deeply into the site.

If not, a request to change the URL is unlikely to succeed unless you set up a redirect of some sort from http://www.cgadgets.net/ to http://www.convenientgadgets.com

(This is based on my understanding of the DMOZ guidelines, and I don't edit in that section of the directory, so I may be wrong.)

dregna · Mar 16, 2004

Thanks for the reply...Any way you could give me a concrete answer. I would hate to risk having the wrong URL added to the directory. Every link on the www.cgadgets.net homepage redirects to www.convenientgadgets.com, are you certain this would be enough?

Also, could you tell me where my site submission stands, its been a month since my last inquiry. Thank you much..

Heres the category which we submitted to: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/C/

nea · Mar 16, 2004

You are waiting for review there, and I added a note to the submission about the new URL, for the reviewing editor.

dregna · Mar 28, 2004

Seems like we got a dead or soon to be dead link in the following category:

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/C/

Heres the title:CompuServe Store

Heres the link: http://store.compuserve.com/stores/...id=-5233&dep_id=0&o_c=CST1&tpl=templates/main

Just celebrated one year of being in business. Ever since switching domain names in the hopes of establishing our identity, traffic has swooped to beginning like stages. I never really received a clear response as to wether we should re-submit with our new domain as opposed to the old domain.
I've placed a 301 re-direct on the old domain www.cgadgets.net that points to the new domain www.convenientgadgets.com. Is that enough? Do you think we are submitting to the appropriate category? Thanks for any replies/

Hey, while your at our site feel free to register to vote if have'nt already done so.

The redirect almost always means that one of our automated tools with catch it. Still, you are more than welcome to go to the original category where it is listed, and do a URL Update stating what the old and new domain names are.

This response assumes that the submission has been listed correct? I'm fairly certain we are still anticipating a listing. It seems that I am safe since I have placed the 301 re-direct, please let me know if there is anything I should do to make sure the right URL is posted. Thanks to all the moderators!!

Good Day,

dregna

If the site is still awaiting the review, in all probability, the reviewing editor will catch the redirect. I'd recommend you do nothing.
