Wow nice news for a change.

Your site was just published in Business/Marketing_and_Advertising/Branding within the last day.

[It's unlikely it would be also accepted in the other category when an editor review it there]

categories: follow up

Thank you for your email, and information. I didn't quite understand what you meant by "[It's unlikely it would be also accepted in the other category when an editor review it there]" ?

A different editor will look at it for the Positioning category? That is the category first suggested.

Thank you.

clarification

Hi again, to clarify what I just said, the category first submitted for was: Business: Marketing and Advertising: Branding: Positioning: Consulting

I feel www.kankeiculture.com has all the traits, experience, focus, service offerings to be in that category. Please advise.

That is because you are only allowed one topical listing. Since it is listed, it is not likely to be added to the other category. The directory is edited by volunteers. Sites are not reviewed in any specific order as to which was submitted first. However, your site may or may not be eligible for listings in other areas of the directory, such as Regional and/or World.

Your second post made it in before mine. If you truly feel that the other category is better, why did you submit to both? In any case you may go to the category that it is listed in, and use the update URL to request a change in category. But, I would not recommend that you do that at this time.

Best placement for URL

Thank you for your response. I was confused after seeing 2 links submitted in the 'read before posting' category. My initial post was for 'Business: Marketing and Advertising: Branding: Positioning: Consulting' as I thought this category best fit the URL http://www.kankeiculture.com

I thought that since it was submitted first that would be the one to be processed first. I don't meant cause any difficulty to the volunteers or any user. It would be much appreciated if I could have the URL placed in the first submission category 'Business: Marketing and Advertising: Branding: Positioning: Consulting'. It was mentioned that I could ask for a request/change of location, but not recommended. What would be recommended to get the URL where it best belongs? The reason I submitted this company is because I know about it, and really think it is doing some amazing work and will do more into the future in the markets of brand consulting and positioning.

Thank you.

Sites are not reviewed in any specific order.

Sorry that you feel that you are in the wrong category, but it might have been avoided if you had followed the submission guidelines, and submitted to on category only, the one best category. At this point, you have to convince an editor to move the site, by doing an update in the category where it is listed.

Because you have already submitted to the other category. When it is reviewed that editor will determine whether it is more appropiate there. If you request a change in category, it could get moved out of the category it is in now, and all you will have accomplished is having a duplicate submission waiting in the category you prefer for an editor to review it there, and no listing at all until an editor does decide to review it. This is the kind of problems that occur when you do not follow the guidelines that state to submit to the one best category for your site.
I do recommend that you look at a possible submission to Regional and to World.
If a site is in multi-language format it can be submitted to the World section in that language as well as your Topical listing. And if your site has an address or some means that determines your locality, then it can also be submitted to that locality in Regional.

Thank you

Thank you for your responses, and apologies for any difficulty caused. I did read the submission guidelines, though I must have got confused.

It would be great if http://www.kankeiculture.com can be updated to the most accurate category of 'Business: Marketing and Advertising: Branding: Positioning: Consulting'

Dogbows, I'll also look into your suggestions.

Cheers,

M.
