Status of www.ineohost.com / www.ineodesign.com / www.ineosolutions.com

Hi,

I have submitted the 3 above sites a pretty long time ago (ranging from 2 month to 6 months)

Somehow, the sites never got added.

Any updates on their status? Or did I do something wrong in the submission process?

Do I re-submit them? Especially for the ineohost.com since i am revamping it and will be needing to change the title and descriptions from my last submission.

Site are at
www.ineohost.com
www.ineosolutions.com
www.ineodesign.com

For the life of me, I cannot recall the exact categories for each of these sites as the submission was quite a long time ago. Sorry.

Thank you for your time.

That website (spread over three fraternal domains) is listed (as www.ineosolutions.com) in http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/Full_Service/I and in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Singa..._Internet/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development
. That would be both of the two listings allowed, so no more listings should be considered.

I'm puzzled where you could have gotten the idea that the site wasn't ever listed: but then, the world has boundless stores of misinformation -- so it doesn't really matter.

Hi Hutcheson,

thank you for taking the time to reply me.

I tried searching for ineosolutions.com and ineodesign.com in DMOZ but got no results so i thought it was not in.

Thanks for clarifying these two for me.

From your post, you seem to imply that ineohost.com will not be accepted as you consider it a sub-set of ineosolutions.com and ineodesign.com?

However, that is not true.

ineohost.com is a totally different site that provides web hostings services and provides information on web hosting.
While the sites are under the same company, surely they cannot be construed as same content?

Just wanted to find out more about this.
And if the stance by DMOZ is not to allow ineohost.com as its considered fraternal sites, let me know what has to be done for ineohost.com to be accepted as a seperate site.

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

any news on this?

thx

Note that all the services you offer are included in the category description - we list a site once in that category.

For our purposes you should consider a site as 'a companies complete set of online offerings' rather than 'stuff on a single URL'.

If you can't be bothered linking the various offerings together its obviously not worth linking. If you do link it together, its obviously part of a single site, and therefore already appropriatly listed.

Hi gimmster,

thank you for taking the time to explain.

I think i understand what you mean now. By putting ineosolutions.com into Full Service Cat, it covers the Cat that ineohost was previously submitted in?

Those submissions were made at a time where I did not fully understan how to submit to directories.

I am actually intending to submit ineohost.com to
Regional: Asia: Singapore: Business and Economy: Computers and Internet: Internet: Web Hosting

ineodesign.com to
Regional: Asia: Singapore: Business and Economy: Computers and Internet: Internet: Web Design and Development

as the above two more correctly targets Singapore while

ineosolutions.com remains in
Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development: Designers: Full Service: I

Would that be possible?
Would I have to resubmit ineodesign to new category and ineohost too?

I really thank you for your patience with me.
I understand that you guys are busy and I really appreciate any help rendered so far.

Why don't you just make it simple for everyone concerned and link all three websites together and just try to list one in the sigle best category?

It is all one business, as you said.

One domain name, with one listing in topical and one in Regional.

Or -- several domain names banned.

Those are the EDITORS' only options: the first alternative is what is currently implemented. Any changes would be the editors' decision, but you have some influence over it.

Hi SpectreGunner,

It might be one umbrella company but really ineohost and ineodesign are managed differently with different services. In fact, we are intending to de-link both sites, starting with the current revamp of ineohost.com

How about if ineosolutions.com is removed and the two are listed in their respective regional categories?

Or will it have to be as hutcheson says, only one can be regional and one topical.

Also, hutcheson, so you are saying that with multiple domains, it will all be banned? What is the criteria for banning?

I apologise for any grief caused by my confusion. It is definitely not my intention.

If the above (two sites in regional) and removal of ineosolutions.com is not possible, then I will just work with ineosolutions.com (in one regional and one topical) and link to both ineohost.com and ineodesign.com instead.

As a side note, what would you all (with your vast experience) recommend as the best option for the company?

We are really open to suggestions here.
Whichever way it goes, we will be changing the sites accordingly.

The criteria for banning is clearly laid out in the submittal policies: submitting "multiple related sites." That's the only offence against the ODP serious enough to warrant the threat of banning.

The best possible option is to take the URLs pointed to by the two current ODP listings, and use them to link to all the various pages you wish to promote -- by whatever URLs you like.

Thank you all for your time and patience with me.

I think I shall (as advised) leave it alone for now.

However, once we complete the overhaul of the 3 sites.
(ineosolutions.com will become an industry blog, ineodesign.com will be primary site for design and development services and ineohost.com will be primary site for hosting services) I will re-submit ineodesign.com and ineohost.com into their new categories.

is that the correct procedure?

No. Reread this thread.

?
Now i am lost.

So you are saying I have no more chance of ever changing the category for my sites, even if they are overhauled?

tried re-reading the thread but cannot see what you are trying to highlight to me. Sorry....

One business, one site, one category.

It doesn't matter how you redesign the sites, only one is going to get listed.

hmm...
ok then. You guys are the boss.
Not sure though i see the logic to why i cannot remove ineosolutions.com and list ineohost.com. esp when we are de-centralising the two divisions (hosting and development)

or EVEN change a category of a current listing when it becomes irrelevant after a revamp (thought relevancy was key here)

But we can work with this.
You guys have a job to do and I respect that.

Thx for taking the time to answer my questions.

I believe we were both responding to:

I will re-submit ineodesign.com and ineohost.com into their new categories.

Click to expand...

If, after your redesign, you end up with one listable website that is clearly primary, we will most certainly entertain moving it to the single best website that best reflects its content.

We were being emphatic in driving home that you only get one of the three (and we have no personal preferences in the matter, other than the fact that we want the one that has the most unique content for the surfer).

So by all means, do your redesign around the website that you want to be central, then let us know which one is which and where you think it should be listed.

Hope this clarifies.

Hi spectre,

thx for the clarification.


I will do just that.
