ryankelly Posted August 5, 2004 Author Posted August 5, 2004 Declined form Business/Marketing_and_Advertising/Internet_Marketing/Marketing_Services as not listable. I don't understand. The websites that are listed in that directory offer the same services that I do. My site is 50% ebook related and 50% Internet martketing related.
ryankelly Posted August 7, 2004 Author Posted August 7, 2004 Declined form Business/Marketing_and_Advertising/Internet_Marketing/Marketing_Services as not listable. That's not even the place I ask to be listed. I ask for: http://dmoz.org/Business/Publishing...tronic/E-Books/
donwiebe Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Sorry, it's not eligible for listing there, either.
ryankelly Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 Sorry, it's not eligible for listing there, either. Okay, now I have an issue with this. Why would you have volunteers and a forum if the purpose was not to assist people in getting their listings placed. In the time it would take for someone to suggest the proper place YOU could have had it listed in the proper place. Give a guy some help here. Make suggestions, or place it where it belongs. Don't send one liner rejects without some guidance. It's unprofessional to say the least. If there is some other issue, say so. Ryan
spectregunner Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 The only issue is that the purpose of this forum is to provide status check. It is not to assist people in getting their sites placed. We don't tell people where to submit their sites because in order to do so, we would have to to a de-facto review of the site, which is not the purpose of the forum. Additionally, the editors who volunteer their time here are almost always not the editor who made the determination, so we are in no position to debate or argue the merits or another editor's decision. Lack of being listed almost always comes down to lack of unique content. This is either in terms of the content or the site, or the content required by the category description. For example, if you submit a site to /Shopping that does not have prices or an online shopping cart, it is going to get rejected. Similarly, if you submit to a major city within regional, but you are really in the less expensive real estate in a small suburb, don't hold your breath waiting for that listing to appear.
ryankelly Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 I have NO IDEA why my website won't fit the area I selected. It's clear to the most casual observer that the site is well designed, easy to use, and full of content. Above that it offers services and information to both the public and online marketers. There is shopping and a shopping cart, reading and advice for new writers, services for writers to create ebooks and market them, and on and on. It could easily fit into many of your catagories. I have no idea where to go from here as I need my website in the directory but fail to understand how to accomplish that. Can someone give me some guidance as to what I have failed to do and what needs to be done to get listed. Thank you Ryan
Meta pvgool Posted August 10, 2004 Meta Posted August 10, 2004 I have NO IDEA why my website won't fit the area I selected. It's clear to the most casual observer that the site is well designed, => we don't care about design easy to use, => we don't care about this and full of content. => ok, but we only care if it is UNIQUE content I need my website in the directory but fail to understand how to accomplish that. Why do you need that. If you need this to make some money you have a totaly wrong business plan. Can someone give me some guidance as to what I have failed to do and what needs to be done to get listed. The one and only thing we care about. Enough Unique Content. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
