Which Cat?

DianeV · Apr 12, 2004

Howdy, all. I thought I'd get this straight and skip straight past the "wondering" step.

We've just launched a website for a client who is a chiropractor in West Hollywood, which is within Los Angeles County. We wish to submit to a Regional category, but have come up with two cats:

http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/California/Localities/W/West_Hollywood/Health/

http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_Amer...Localities/L/Los_Angeles/Health/Chiropractic/

Which might be the *correct* category to submit to, and why? (The "why" will help me to determine correctly next time around.)

Thx.

If the office is in West Hollywood, then the site goes in that locality.

More explanation: businesses are nearly always listed in Regional according to the location of their office or offices. There are very few exceptions, and those are editorial decision, rather than submitter's. So the best policy is to submit according to the location of the office, and let the editors do the rest.

Hope this helps.

If West_Hollywood gets enough other chiropractic sites (say 3 or 4 more) then a subcat could be created to hold all the sites and it would be @linked from the Los Angeles county category http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_Amer...nia/Counties/Los_Angeles/Health/Chiropractic/ . (Please note that the link you gave was to Los Angeles locality, not county.)

If you know of a few more chiropractor sites in West_Hollywood, submit them too.

Thanks. I understand, and the office *is* in West Hollywood.

I tried to submit but, unfortunately, got the message "Sorry, we could not determine the IP address of your browser." Tried Opera and Mozilla; would try another browser but I wonder if the submission actually went through.

Shall I assume that the "Sorry, we could not determine the IP address of your browser." is correct and that I should try again?

That message usually means you are submitting behind a proxy. You should try to submit again from a different computer. If you are submitting from work try to do it from home. If you have a personal firewall up or something try to disable it to submit.

DianeV · Apr 15, 2004

No, no proxy and same IP address for years. I saw there's another thread re this problem; if that isn't it, I'll try one other thing. (But thanks!)

Yes please see the other thread for updates.
