Moofers Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Please can you advise the status http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/Full_Service/ http://www.designflare.com/ Thankyou in advance
djdeeds Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 That cat doesnt' take suggestions. I checked the letter 'D' subcat, but the suggestion is not waiting there either.
spectregunner Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Might as well, and when you are doing so, seriously consider also submitting to Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Berkshire/Bracknell/Business_and_Economy/Computers_and_Internet/ since that is where you are located. Regional listings are considered separately from topical listings,and you may be eligible for both.
Moofers Posted September 19, 2004 Author Posted September 19, 2004 As Suggested I have submitted to both as suggested like so: 19/09/2004 http://dmoz.org/Computers/Multimedia/Services/Freelance/ http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Berkshire/Bracknell/ Thank you for your assistance
spectregunner Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 I wished you had submitted to the exact regional category I suggested. Now some editor will have to find the incorrect submission and move it to the correct subcategory. In any event, please come back here on or after October 19 for a status check.
Moofers Posted October 27, 2004 Author Posted October 27, 2004 Will someone move it to this subcategory for me, what do I have to do next?
spectregunner Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Do nothing, some editor will move it when working in that part of the directory.
Moofers Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 My site has still not been list after more than 6 months, please advise what I can do to get my little site list. Thanks in advance !! I have already submitted to the following:- 19/09/2004 http://dmoz.org/Computers/Multimedi...ices/Freelance/ http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Uni...hire/Bracknell/ I have just re-submitted to:- http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Berkshire/Bracknell/Business_and_Economy/Computers_and_Internet/
spectregunner Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Stop resubmitting unless you are specifically told to do so, all you are doing by submitting to additional categories is making more work for the volunteer editors, and runnign the risk that your valid sumissions will get deleted when we are taking out the extra submissions.
Moofers Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 I only posted to the the category you told me to....??? and after I had waited nicely for 3 months without knowing why I no one has looked at my submission. I only want to get listed, there must be an easier way, my so called start up company is still waiting 6 months after I registered the domain name. the only people who have looked at my site have followed links from this forum. ALL IVE REQUESTED IS HELP (IVE NOT BEEN RUDE OR ANYTHING) PLEASE SOMEONE (ANYONE) HELP ME !!!
oneeye Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Yes, don't resubmit unless told to do so by an editor. Your suggestions are in the system. They will be looked at in due course by an editor but this might be tomorrow, or two years hence or more (see the FAQ section on this site for reasons). Leave it to editors to move the site if need be, and remove any surplus to requirements. Thank you. If you come back in a further 6 months, assuming you don't see the sites listed by then, we'll provide you with a further update.
Moofers Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 what kind of a response is that, are you all just copying and pasting the same reponse over and over again? So from you comments I take it that any submissions can take between 2 weeks and 2 years (or what ever you see fit, I take it in two year time your'll be telling me its 4 years) I sorry if I sound miffed, but I am, I'm trying to get a start up business off the ground and I need my site to be list before the major search engines will see my site (unless I pay them, which I cannot afford yet) I guess I'm caught in your catch 22 loop. I await another copy and pasted answer.
oneeye Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 OK, one of my longer ones and I only get it out for special occasions, but it fits the bill more or less. DMOZ has never been, is not, will never be, a listing service for webmasters. It is not our job, is not any part of our concept, to provide in any way shape or form a listing service for webmasters. If anything we are the anti-Christ of listing services for webmasters. We do not exist so webmasters can send us their sites to review and list so webmasters can promote their sites, increase their Google Page Rank, sell their wares, show off to their friends what brilliant web marketing experts they are. So what are we? We are a bunch of unpaid volunteers who spend their spare time working on a project to catalog all the unique content on the Internet that we can find. We search the search engines, we write down URLs from the back of buses, we ask whether our dentist has a website. We trawl through pages of links on personal websites and on other directories. And we invite members of the public to help us with our little project by sending us their suggestions. It is called the Suggest URL feature. It can be the results of their travels around the Internet, something they have seen on the back of a bus, their dentist's website. Or it can be their own site. We take all the stuff we have found ourselves, and everything suggested to us by the public, and when we have some spare time we look through it at our own pace, listing some, rejecting others, saving the rest for the next time. Original stuff now: your needs as a webmaster don't concern us, no-one should ever launch into a business that has a listing in DMOZ as a critical part of the plan. Not only can the wait be anything from 2 minutes to infinity, we never guarantee to list any site, and the majority are rejected. Explore other routes to promote your site, not all cost big bucks and many are free. Google search doesn't charge for example and what bigger search engine could you want.
Moofers Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 Fair enough, at last the answer !! that was all I wanted.. So if I put some info / pics about my dead rabbit for friends and family to look at I stand a better chance of you guys listing me?
oneeye Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 No, nothing will make it happen quicker, not even cute live baby bunnies. Suggest to Jayde.com - it's free, quick, and search engines pick up from there.
