Guest Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 I have submitted the site www.prosperity4.com about 5 months ago and im still not listed. I submitted about 3 weeks ago as i thought the submission might have got overlokked. Could you please give me an idea of when this will be indexed. I would be so grateful Liam Paulus IT Manager
beebware Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Which category did you submit to? Without knowing the category, we are unable to give a status on any submission (see the Forum Guidelines - READ BEFORE POSTING item 2). However, I can tell you it was deleted from the unreviewed queue inBusiness/Industries/Information_Technology/Employment/Recruiters/ as your site is not a employment recruiter site.
Guest Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Thankyou for your reply, everyone thats signs to us is classified as an employee but if you think that it is the wrong section what about this Regional: Europe: United Kingdom: Business and Economy: Employment: IT and Computers: Advice Does this catogory suit us bettter, and can you help me to get listed. I have honestly been trying to get into your directory for over 1 year without success and if you could give me some pointers or help and would be very grateful
uzs980 Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 It would be very helpful to give us a clickable link to the category you submitted your site to. All I can say that submissions of your site has been deleted twice: once in April in Business/Information Technology/Employment/Recruiters (because you are not a recruiter) and once in July from Business/Financial Services (probably because the category is not specific enough). Your company seems to offer a solution that is a specific answer to UK laws. Maybe it should better be listed somewhere under Regional/Europe/United Kingdom?
beebware Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Employment/IT_and_Computers/Advice/ does sound appropriate to your site (and maybe http://dmoz.org/Society/Work/Self-Employment/United_Kingdom/ ).
uzs980 Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Oops, you've overtaken me ... I think Regional/Europe/United Kingdom/Business and Economy/Employment/IT and Computers/Advice might be worth a try.
Guest Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 So would you suggest i resubmit it to the catagory you suggested now or could you help with doing this? How long on average does it take.
Guest Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 So you recommend that i submit my site to this catagory Regional/Europe/United Kingdom/Business and Economy/Employment/IT and Computers/Advice How long on average does it take to get listed
beebware Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Listing times for any category range from a few minutes to several months (however, at the moment, "public page generation" is currently massively backlogged so if you were listed today, it may take several days to show up). We are unable to give a precise time for listings: however, we are able to advice you if there is a large backlog in the cateogry you have submitted to (there is no backlog in the above categories).
Guest Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Thankyou all so much for your advice and will resubmit it now and see what happens
uzs980 Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 Your site has been added to the category Business/Financial Services/Freelancer-Contractor Services on October 24th. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Guest Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 I have just checked and i was surprised to find us listed as Prosperity4 Ltd - The IR35 solution for IT Contractors. Company, services and contact details. -- http://www.prosperity4.com/flashryder.asp Regional: Europe: United Kingdom: Business and Economy: Financial Services: Accountants: Bookkeepers Which is the wrong address it should be wwww.prosperity4.com/index.asp or just www.prosperity4.com. will this be updated or will the new one added on 24th October overwrtie this one. All i want is for it to de displeyed when people search IR35, limited company and Computer contractors. I thankyou for your assistance in advance
beebware Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 http://www.prosperity4.com/flashryder.asp has never been listed in the ODP, and the category path you quoted does not exist. Can you post the URL of the page you think your site is listed?
Guest Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 www.prosperity4.com go to the site and search IR35 and Prosperity4 is listed there http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=ir35 but its wrong i want to come up there but to be directed to the new site www.prosperity4.com which is on a new IP address as we changed machine
Guest Posted October 29, 2002 Posted October 29, 2002 I would be grateful if someone could look into my last post
dfy Posted October 29, 2002 Posted October 29, 2002 The search system is currently broken, and has been for over a month. It *will* be fixed "real soon now" but you can't rely on anything it says at the moment. Give it a couple of weeks and report back if you are still concerned.
