Status of Body Jewelry site www.nipplecharms.com

Hello all.

I hope I am in the correct area. If not, I am sure someone will let me know.

That said, about 10 months ago I submitted my site, with no response to day. The site is located @ <a href="http://www.nipplecharms.com">Non Piercing Nipple Jewelry</a> to DMOZ.

I submitted it to Top: Shopping: Jewelry: Body

<a href="http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Jewelry/">dmoz.org/Shopping/Jewelry </a>(why is this not a link?)

About 4-5 months ago I offered to be an editor. Again, no response.

I am not sure if one of my competitors is an editor and is precluding us from being added (which I doubt), or there are just that many site trying of that category.

Can anyone help? Or at least let me know what to do next?

Thanks for your time.

Michael

Dear kokopeli,

That easy? And I tried that too!

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Jewelry

Also, thanks for checking on our site. Do you have any idea what the time frame might be? A week, a few hours, 3 months? Just curious.

Thanks for taking the time to check.

Michael

Sorry, there's never an idea when it will happen. But...I'm not sure how to say this...we have even less of an idea in Shopping/Jewelry than in many areas. You can check back here in six months for another status; that may relieve anxiety but won't affect the time to review.

Other than that, no, there's not really anything to do. Editors are at work ... somewhere ... and that's all that is needed now.

I guess becoming an editor in that category and working on my own site is out of the question? :)

Any idea why that category is so backed up?

Thanks

Michael

Some categories, especially in places like shopping, get more submissions than others. Editors are volunteer and edit when and where their interests lie, there is no specific time table. If you are interested in editing, you can visit here.

Thanks for everyones continued help.

I was hoping someone could give me the status of our site, http://www.nipplecharms.com. It has been a good 7-8 months since the last time we have submitted.

Thanks for your help,

Judgement call on my part, something about the way she's holding her tits to show off the jewelry.

Oh, yeah, that and the cock rings.

Over 6 months

Hey all,

It has been over 6 months since I last stood on my head and howled at the wind... (And if you saw me you would know that is not an easy feat!)

Can anyone help me with my listing? Give me some feedback? Suggest some other area other than body jewelry? Tell me to pay (some editor actually suggested he could do that for $$$). No I didn’t pay.

PLEASE, we would be most appreciative of any intelligent guidance.

Thanks

Michael

Sorry you didn't get a response the first time; your site is waiting for review in that category. Sorry not to have better news. {moz}

The same way become an editor in any area. Suggest 2-3 sites that belong there, are not presently listed, and give suitable titles and descriptions.

There seem to be fewer active metas than there used to be, and fewer still who are active in Adult, so you would need to be patient.

No. Editors can order the sites in a number of ways, so the question is almost meaningless. No.

See the FAQs for answers to those questiosn.

Dear Arubin,

Thanks for your reply. I have done everything you suggest and that what is expected in that area, to be an editor, at least 3 times. I gave a review of my site and 2 others (my competitors should thank me.) I heard nothing from the "powers-that-be.)

I have read all the FAQ's, all the forums and everything else. I still have not seen anything empirical that tells me there is any reason to how a site gets listed.

I don't want to pi$$ anyone off but this is getting to be epidemic. Do I really pay an editor from another section to add my site, just to add it? I do not like to do that. I know its done, and done often. You can go into any of the "freelance" SEO sites and if you are cryptic enough, you will get two or 3 people to offer to "help" you get listed. And we all know what the help means.

Am I venting? Maybe. Feels good actually. Now if it was not 11:16AM I would have a drink and a cigar (and I don’t smoke) and just chill out!

WOW that really does make me feel better :monacle:

OK, if anyone else has anything to add to help me, please let me know.

Thanks again,

M

I'm sure it's happened, but how many of those who would volunteer to help you would, in fact, send the site along to our banned list? You don't know who you're dealing with on the net?

As for editor applications -- I'm been waiting a while for the answer to an Adult question on our internal forum, and there are fewer who could approve an Adult application than could answer the question. There is

Now -- if you've heard nothing, you should ask in a separate thread in this (Adult) forum about your status. If you've received rejection notices, you need to read those carefully, as they usually provide useful information, even though it may not appear so at first glance.

I dont want to sound ignorant. But editors nearly NEVER write a reason for rejection...

I can't speak for "hardly ever", but my first editor application was declined, and the reason given made sense.
