Status: www.NetCelera.com

I’ve tried several times to include our site http://www.netcelera.com in DMOZ with no avail, although I followed all the guidelines.

I submitted it under:

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Networking/Advanced_Technology/

Two months back 7/2003

and

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Networking/Network_Performance/

First, the submissions I saw were dated 5 Aug. 2003, and 15 Aug. 2003. If you submitted again, you may have overwritten earlier submissions.

Second, the ODP Submission Guidelines clearly ask that you "Identify the single best category for your site." [emphasis added].

The Network_Performance category seems particularly inappropriate to me, since the description for that category says that it is for network monitoring equipment, not optimization equipment. As a result, that submission has been removed, in favor of the other one.

Finally, the ODP rarely lists product-specific subsites. Since your site covers just one product of ITWorx Inc., I doubt it will be listed anywhere. However, I have left the Advanced_Technology submission for an editor more familiar with that area to decide.

Thank you for your explanation, but NetCelera is a sub-company of ITWorx so the site is for that smaller company and its patented compression technology.

Please check a similar product site that is already listed:
http://www.peribit.com/

under
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Networking/Advanced_Technology/

I am fine with that category that i originaly was subitting to in 7/2003.

Thanks for any help

We don't really care about business models or who your competitors are. We also don't care if you spread your business over 2 websites, or 20, or 2,000. We still consider it to be one business.

Your netcelera.com site is certainly a subsite of itworx.com. I can easily find all of the information by going to the itworx.com website.

In contrast, since Peribit appears to be an independent, privately-held company (at least after a quick look), there is no parent website for us to list, so we would list Peribit.

Finally, not that your company's internal structure really concerns us, but when looking at sites, we go by what is written on the site. And what is written on http://www.netcelera.com/aboutus.asp is:

ITWorx is privately held, with financial backing from the Commercial International Investment Company (CIIC) and the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group.

Sure sounds like a product, rather than a company, to me.
