Thanks and Best Regards

It is waiting for review there.

Please Check

Hello,

I have waited the 6 months patiently. I also submitted to the following other directories...

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...P/Port_Aransas/Recreation_and_Sports/Fishing/

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...ies/R/Rockport/Recreation_and_Sports/Fishing/

...as we fish over 120 miles of Texas coastline. Please understand that it would be a great help to my business if I could get listed in time for the next fishing season

Thanks Again

Trey

There's another one moved to the category to which you originally submitted.

You will get at most one listing in DMOZ, regardless of how many times you submit. I don't edit in Texas, but your first suggestion or [cat=Regional/North_America/United_States/Texas/Metro_Areas/Corpus_Christi/]Corpus Christi Metro Area[/cat] might be your site's final resting place. It's not your choice.

You may partially redeem yourself by listing all the categories you suggested your site to. If you don't, there's a chance that an editor will accidentally delete all of your submissions while cleaning duplicates, or more than one editor will delete duplicates on or about the same time, while making different choices as to which submission to keep.

Additional Categories

The following categories are the ones that I know I have submitted to...

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...Corpus_Christi/Recreation_and_Sports/Fishing/

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...P/Port_Aransas/Recreation_and_Sports/Fishing/

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...P/Port_Aransas/Recreation_and_Sports/Fishing/

Other possible categories.... Please understand it has been some time since my submission. I know I thought about submitting in the below categories but I am not sure. I cant remember.

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...eation_and_Sports/Outdoors/Fishing/Saltwater/

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...A/Aransas_Pass/Recreation_and_Sports/Fishing/

This is the first site that I have submitted to dmoz. Please donot delete my submission. Only the ones you find inappropriate. It might be most appropriate to list under the following category as it covers all the metro areas we fish

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...eation_and_Sports/Outdoors/Fishing/Saltwater/

Thanks again for your time. You guys a really the glue behind the web.

Under help for dmoz...

http://dmoz.org/help/geninfo.html

It states that the "purpose of the ODP is to list and categorize web sites. We do not rank, promote or optimize sites for search engines."

Is the goal of dmoz to categorize web sites for search engines or for humans?

If its for humans than why would dmoz list my site in only one category when it is applicable for more? It reduces the benefit for both the user and the web site.

Im not arguing. I just find it hard to defend that position and then go on to say that because I submitted to multiple categories that an editor might delete my submissions.

Or maybe there is just confusion in where we actually provide services.

I hope its that latter

Trey

No confusion, that is simply the rule that you get placed in the most specific regional category where your business is located. You may wish it were otherwise, and I don't disagree with your point, but if we allowed each business multiple regional listings, then we would spend way too much time trying to decide where and how many regional categories a site would get.

Okay

I see the difficulty and understand.

My business is located in Texas

Actually in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Again... Thanks for your time

Trey

Did my site get rejected?

Did my site get rejected?

Trey

The only thing I can see is that an editor moved it to Regional/North_America/United_States/Texas/Localities/C/Corpus_Christi/Recreation_and_Sports/Fishing - where it awaits review.

good time to list

Hey guys,

Fishing season is about to start and I was wondering if my site could be listed soon.

Thanks Again

Trey

That depends on the local editors. Unfortunately we do status check only once every six months, so the next one won't be before June 6th. But feel free to check the category page every now and then, maybe your site will get listed before that date.
