bizpeak Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Hi, My site just got a visitor from http://editors.dmoz.org/editors/addurl.cgi So can you guys let me know the status Cat: http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Small_Business/Resources/ URL: http://www.bizpeak.com Thanks, Mohamed
bobrat Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Did you not ask about this site in the last day or so, since I remember this questionand looking at your site. Did you delete the original post and the answer? As far as getting a visitor, it's totally meaningless, it was probably me looking at it when you asked the first time. And I'm NOT the editor that would review your site.
bizpeak Posted May 20, 2004 Author Posted May 20, 2004 Thank you for your post. Yes I did coz I sent my website to a new category which is more appropriate http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Small_Business/Resources/ Thanks anyway
bobrat Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Then you have to wait a month, since you both resubittied and already got an answer.
bizpeak Posted June 19, 2004 Author Posted June 19, 2004 Hi, Today my website was added at: http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Small_Business/Home_Office/Resources/ Now it's gone again, and there where about 10 other websites removed. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks, Mohamed
sole Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 It appears that one editor reviewed it and listed it, another saw that the listing was not done properly and put it back in the pile for further review, and a senior editor determined that not only was the listing improperly done, but that the site should not be listed at all. You can read our Site Selection Criteria here.
bizpeak Posted June 19, 2004 Author Posted June 19, 2004 Thank you for your reply Did the editor give any reasons?
Meta hutcheson Posted June 19, 2004 Meta Posted June 19, 2004 The link gives the reasons. In sites like this, the editor's reaction must inevitably have been something like: "Sir, your product has both good sections and original sections. Unfortunately, they seem never to be the same ones." It is possible that such a reaction was incorrect but directly caused by a poor website design strategy: that in order to give the impression of comprehensiveness, you (1) collected the vast majority of your content from other sites, and (2) blurred the distinction between original content and collected content. Or it's possible that the impression was correct. Only you will know which of these possibilities applies: the editor can't know whether "unique content" was absent or just well concealed. But you must know that. So I'm puzzled. What is it that you think an editor could conceivably have helped with?
bizpeak Posted June 19, 2004 Author Posted June 19, 2004 Well, the design is great, and I have a section of only my own original articles at: http://www.bizpeak.com/articles/index.html and my own original e-book: http://www.bizpeak.com/bizpioneer.html Do you think I should re-submit and leave a note or something? Thanks
