Good afternoon. My site was listed in DMOZ for years. All of a sudden it disappeared entirely. Wondering why as I did not deviate from my initial goal of presenting a travel and ecommerce site for Portuguese Expatriats in North America. I'v submitted it a couple times in the past year but still nothing. Thank you.

Thank you for looking into this. Really appreciate.

The second site www.portugalonline.com is ours as well, but we no longer use it. I did not know that one could not have two sites with similar names in the same directory way back when we were maintaining a travel and an information portal. They served different purposes. After we consolidated the two sites, we had portugalonline.com just routed to portugal.com.

Is it possible to just have www.portugal.com in the directory and nuke www.portugalonline, please.

Thank you in advance,
Antonio

However - since it does work some of the time, the best thing you should do is put in a 301 redirect [ask your ISP or webmaster if you don't know how] = or take the site down - so that a reviewing editor will know the site URL has changed.

As of now, neither of your sites is listed. At some point an editor will look at the site again, and decide what to do. In general we will not change a URL if it works.

We had server problems today as we're upgrading our facilites. You are right, it was down for about 3 hours all together today.

So, just to be clear:
- We have taken down portugalonline.com
- Now, I should just wait until an editor looks at it. Any idea how long that will take, worst case?
- Would it help to submit the www.portugal.com again?
