Hi,

I had secondary content on my site, www.mydomain.com, that was indexed years ago on dmoz. I recently changed pages and url of this secondary content to subdomain.mydomain.com and asked the dmoz editor to updated it, which it was. Thanks. However, the problem is that if I search for my site using the main dmoz search it still shows up as www.mydomain.com, with the old description and also in it's category with the updated url, subdomain.mydomain.com, updated and description.

I have two questions. How do I remedy this and would this disqualify me from submitting my main content to www.mydomain.com? I have submitted my page quite some time ago with no luck. I know how long it can take to get submitted but I want to make sure that I’m not canceling myself out.

Thanks

The search engine is what it is. You do not control it, we do not control it.

Editors just put sites (URLs) in categories. Can you rephrase that question so that it says nothing about search? and only refers to listings that can be directly seen in directory category pages?

If so, there may be an answer.

Hi Grover,

You may have found a solution already, but if you didn't, you may wish to consider using a 301 redirect from www.mydomain.com to your new url.

Of course, if you wished to continue to have different content available on the old url, this may not work for you - but if you could leave it like that for a while, the search engines may pick up the change and update your information.

Hope that helps a little.
