drc15 Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Hi, Please forgive me if this is in the wrong forum, if so, please direct me to the correct one. Previously our site http://www.hotjewellery.co.uk was in the following directory: Home : regional: europe: united kingdom: business and economy: shopping Jewellery - shopping It has now vanished! Can anyone tell me why, or put it back for us thanks! Daniel
jimnoble Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 It's still there in its http://crescent-fashion-jewellery.co.uk guise .
Guest gimmster Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 by the way, do you know that http://crescent-fashion-jewellery.co.uk does not work, luckily the listed http://www.crescent-fashion-jewellery.co.uk does. :tree:
drc15 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Posted May 27, 2004 Hi, I do not understand. http://www.crescent-fashion-jewellery.co.uk is a totally different company to http://www.hotjewellery.co.uk, and hotjewellery used to be in: Home : regional: europe: united kingdom: business and economy: shopping Jewellery But now has vanished! What do mean in the same guise? They are totally different companies and web sites. Thanks Daniel
jimnoble Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 http://www.crescent-fashion-jewellery.co.uk is a totally different company to http://www.hotjewellery.co.uk ..that entirely coincidentally happens to share the same telephone number.
drc15 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Posted May 27, 2004 OK, so we are the same people running both sites, but the content is completely different, the http://www.crescent-fashion-jewellery.co.uk site is for wholesale and http://www.hotjewellery.co.uk is for retail. I cannot believe that hotjewellery lost it's DMOZ listing because the telephone numbers and the addresses on the two websites are the same. Daniel
Alucard Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 It didn't lose it because they are the same, it lost it because we consider the two to be the same company, and therefore will get one listing. My advice to you would be that you provide a prominent link on the one that IS listed to the other, so that your customers can readily find the information/services they need. Hope this helps.
pudsey Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Just out of interest. If the company has two websites, but they are completely different with regard to the service they are providing can webmasters not submit both websites?
jimnoble Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 It all depends on how completely different they are. A pair of jewellery sites obviously aren't. OTOH, a company selling computers and running a taxi business may need focused listings in different branches of the category tree. There isn't a fancy algorithm - just common sense
Meta hutcheson Posted May 27, 2004 Meta Posted May 27, 2004 If you ask the question in general, the answer has to be "no". There are very very few exceptions -- it is really hard to imagine one. Even jimnoble's example probably would get one local listing (for all the services the business provided in its locality) and perhaps one Shopping listing (if it shipped computers worldwide.) -- But that's no more listings than a computer business that handles both walkin customers and global shipping. For all practical purposes, the answer is "no". One business, one listing.
drc15 Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 www.crescent-fashion-jewellery.co.uk Removed from DMOZ - Why? Hi, I am wondering why our site http://www.crescent-fashion-jewellery.co.uk has recently been removed from DMOZ, it has been in the directory for years. I think it was in: Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Shopping/Jewellery/ If this post should be located somewehere else, please tell me. Thanks Daniel
Meta pvgool Posted March 29, 2005 Meta Posted March 29, 2005 wasn't asking once enough see http://resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=35886 I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
Meta hutcheson Posted March 29, 2005 Meta Posted March 29, 2005 I deleted the other one, so let's keep this one. An editor considered that http://www.hotjewellery.co.uk was the real home page; that site is currently waiting review in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Shopping/Jewellery . The process was, as it often is, delayed and perturbed by the submittal (repeatedly) of BOTH URLs.
dogbows Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Actually the one deleted was the one that pvgool used to point to the original thread here. http://resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16221 So perhaps this one and the original one should be merged.
