Submission Question

Greetings! I have submitted the main page of my capsule movie review site to the appropriate category (http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Movies/Reviews/Capsule_Reviews/) but have a question.

Is it considered 'appropriate' to also submit my page for a particular film in that film's specific category... For example - http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Movies/Titles/A/About_a_Boy/

This would point to a different page, but it would be within the same site... just curious

No, it's not appropriate. The editors may decide (for exceptionally good sites, and for otherwise ill-served topics) to add such deeplinks. But don't submit.

Don't necessarily judge by current practice what is acceptable. This is one area where the consensus is moving toward fewer deeplinks; over time, more old deeplinks will be removed, and fewer new ones added.

My own standard for deeplinks is: compare the content with a feature article in, say, Smithsonian, National Geographic, Dictionary of National Biography, Grove's Dictionary of Music, or similar reference sources (that is, substantially MORE than Encarta or encyclopedia.com or Britannica Micropedia). If the deeplink is comparable in amount and quality of content, and if the site as a whole is not so focused that one would not naturally look there for that kind of content, then it is a reasonable deeplink. Obviously a well-served topic would have higher standards for deeplinks, and for a poorly served topic we would be more inclined to deeplink less content.
