bobrat Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 In what other category might you have submitted this site?
lamogman Posted June 7, 2004 Author Posted June 7, 2004 status of www.labelpower.com.au I remember looking at the following category but not sure anymore if I proceeded adding the URL to it: http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Publishing_and_Printing/Printing/Products/Labels,_Stickers,_and_Decals/ I might also have added http://www.labelpower.com.au/index.htm instead of simply http://www.labelpower.com.au Thanks for the response. I hope you can help me. Regards, Ric
bobrat Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 It's actually going to be difficult since it seems that the number of categories in which your site has been found so far is rather high. I would remind you that the submission instructions say to submit to the one best category. So far it has been found in http://dmoz.org/Business/Industries/Printing/Labels/Bar_Code_Labels_and_Equipment http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Bar_Code/Labeling http://dmoz.org/Business/Publishing_and_Printing/Printing/Products/Labels,_Stickers,_and_Decals http://dmoz.org/Business/Publishing_and_Printing/Printing/Products/Labels,_Stickers,_and_Decals/Large_Run http://dmoz.org/Business/Publishing_and_Printing/Printing/Products/Labels,_Stickers,_and_Decals/Industry-Specific http://dmoz.org/Computers/Hardware/Peripherals/Bar_Code/Printers http://dmoz.org/Computers/Hardware/Peripherals/Bar_Code/Labels_and_Equipment [some of these categories no longer exist or have been renamed] in some case it was submitted multiple times to a category Now editors have deleted your site from many of these categories, since the submission was considered a duplicate submission, however, without checking each category, it's difficult to say if a copy of the site awaits review. This is the problem that multiple submission causes for us. At this point if it comes up for review, the editor has to decide whether the copy in his category should be deleted or reviewed, and instread of reviewing it, probably sighs, skips reviewing it, and goes on to something easier. It was in fact, at some point published, but it's very difficult to figure out whether it then got removed because of the multiple submissions.
lamogman Posted June 22, 2004 Author Posted June 22, 2004 should i just resubmit my site? i made a mistake the first time but it was not my intention.
