damon18 Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Figuring out best category for real estate company I want to submit the site http://www.OutdoorProperties.com to the correct category the first time, so I could use some advice. Normally I would submit a real estate company to the locality (city) where the main office is located. So I would pick Hughes from the localities under real estate here. http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Arkansas/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/By_Locality/ but Hughes (small town) isn't listed there. Because of the nature of this company, selling farms, and acreage state wide, could I submit it to http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Arkansas/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/ which has only one company listed. (which now appears to be a redirect) Or should it go in a non-real-estate specific regional category which does have a Hughes locality with zero sites. http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Arkansas/Localities/H/Hughes/ Any suggestions?
Guest Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Re: Figuring out best category for real estate company Thanks for the heads up on the redirect. Fixed. I'd suggest the http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Arkansas/Localities/H/Hughes/ category if that is the only locality they have an office in. The Real Estate category should be created once there are a few sites for the locality (not necessarily Real Estate sites - submit any other sites you know of for the locality as well). Sorry but we normally list sites by location, not area served, especially so with Real Estate sites due to past abuses. :tree:
damon18 Posted March 1, 2004 Author Posted March 1, 2004 Re: Figuring out best category for real estate company Thanks for the input, I'll go with your suggestion. I understand the reason for the real estate rules, it's just that in this case the office is in Hughes but their agents live and work all over Arkansas, in even smaller towns! I'll see if I can find some other Hughes companies to add. Thanks,
damon18 Posted April 2, 2004 Author Posted April 2, 2004 Please check the status of http://www.OutdoorProperties.com It was submitted to http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Arkansas/Localities/H/Hughes/ Because there is no real estate cat for Hughes Arkansas, as was suggested to me in this thread. http://resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=10958&highlight=hughes Thanks,
Alucard Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Thank you for submitting it to what appears to be the correct category - it is much appreciated. A submission dated 29/Feb/2004 awaits editorial review in that category. Thanks.
damon18 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Posted February 1, 2005 A submission dated 29/Feb/2004 awaits editorial review in that category. It's been 11 months and http://www.OutDoorProperties.com has not been added to the suggested category. Could someone please check? Ironically, the school district website I submitted to help build the empty "Hughes" locality has been added. http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Arkansas/Localities/H/Hughes/ Thanks,
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted February 1, 2005 Editall/Catmv Posted February 1, 2005 I see no change in status since the last report. Sorry not to have better news. You may ask again in this thread in 6 months.
