jimnoble Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Your suggestion has been received and is awaiting review. We can't predict when that might be. If it hasn't been listed in 6 months, please ask again. Since all your customers are in Bradford, don't you think a lising in Bradford might be more appropriate?
www.bouncehire Posted January 10, 2005 Author Posted January 10, 2005 Still waiting I guess Bradford would be a good idea, but any listing would be a start :wink: 7 months since submission - any further news???
jimnoble Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 If it hasn't been listed in 6 months, please ask again. That would be after 19th March.
www.bouncehire Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 Hello Here again - anywhere near the top of the pile yet
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted March 29, 2005 Editall/Catmv Posted March 29, 2005 It was moved to a United Kingdom category, and then removed, due to your location not being given on the site. If you put your location on the site, you may submit to the appropriate Locality under [cat]Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom[/cat].
www.bouncehire Posted March 31, 2005 Author Posted March 31, 2005 Not really understanding you, - list a location on my site, it does doesn't it? However, do I have to resubmit as as a new submission & begin the waiting process again?
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted March 31, 2005 Editall/Catmv Posted March 31, 2005 list a location on my site, it does doesn't it? Not that I can see. Neither location or usable service area, unless you consider "Bradford, and surrounding communities" usable. I'm not a UK editor, but it doesn't look usable to me. Please suggest either to your locality, or the shire containing your service area.
www.bouncehire Posted March 31, 2005 Author Posted March 31, 2005 Well yes - that's about as far as I wish to cover - Bradford (the town) and the surrounding villages - I do not wish to cover the whole of West Yorkshire nor the neighbouring towns. Can it remain where it is or do I/should I move it?
bobrat Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 available for hire in Bradford, & the surrounding areas which category should I put that in? Regional/North_America/United_States/Pennsylvania/Localities/B/Bradford/ Regional/North_America/United_States/Illinois/Localities/B/Bradford Regional/North_America/United_States/Ohio/Localities/B/Bradford Regional/North_America/United_States/Rhode_Island/Localities/B/Bradford Regional/North_America/United_States/Tennessee/Localities/B/Bradford Regional/North_America/United_States/Vermont/Localities/B/Bradford Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/West_Yorkshire/Bradford/ Regional/North_America/United_States/New_Hampshire/Localities/B/Bradford Regional/North_America/United_States/Florida/Counties/Bradford or maybe even Regional/North_America/Canada/Ontario/Localities/B/Bradford_West_Gwillimbury I never assume that a UK on a URL means anything to do with a company being in the United Kingdom - and the areas you serve has nothing to do with where you get listed - so maybe you do not belong in any Bradford category I have a site with a UK URL awaiting review and it's located in Dubai
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted March 31, 2005 Editall/Catmv Posted March 31, 2005 There's an ambiguity in the placement of sites that would be in the Business_and_Economy/Event_Planning subcategory -- whether they go in your actual location, or the location covering the service area. It's left up to editor discretion -- in the United States, it's more-or-less decided at the state level, but states may have different positions. In your position, I think I'd submit to http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/West_Yorkshire/Business_and_Economy/, with "serving Bradford and surrounding areas" in the description. But this suggestion is made without any consultation with the UK editors.
bobrat Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 The main point I am trying to make is that when I go to the site - the address on the site does not clearly identify the location, no country, no county/state. An editor may decide that is not enough. It's a common problem I find on many web sites - the designer assumes his city is the only one by that name in the entire world.
www.bouncehire Posted April 1, 2005 Author Posted April 1, 2005 Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/West_Yorkshire/Bradford/ This is where it belongs it you are suggesting a regional listing Can you move it here for me or do I have to resubmit as a new site and start the process all over again many thanks
dogbows Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I am sorry, but I don't think you quite understand yet. There is nothing to move now. The site was already moved to that category and deleted by the reviewing editor because there was no location on the site. Bradford is just not specific enough. It has to distinquish on the site itself which Bradford. The reviewing editor will most likely not ever see this thread. And if you do not make it clear which Bradford on the site, it will likely be deleted again. The reviewing editor has to be able to see on the site that it belongs in that category. They will not list it there just because it is suggested there or because it is moved there. When the exact location is clear on the site, then please feel free to suggest it to that location in the Regional part of the directory.
www.bouncehire Posted April 1, 2005 Author Posted April 1, 2005 You are absolutely right, I have no idea what has been going on Okay - site has been duly tweeked to include a more definitive location, so how do I get it into Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/West_Yorkshire/Bradford/
dogbows Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Go to that category, and suggest the site there, then bookmark this thread and you may come back on May 1, 2005 and request a status.
dogbows Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I was going to add the link for you, but for some reason it would not let me add it to my previous post, so I am adding it in this new post. The category to suggest to is here: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/West_Yorkshire/Bradford/Business_and_Economy/ The reviewing editor may move it to one of the subcats but this should be close enough for now.
Meta pvgool Posted April 1, 2005 Meta Posted April 1, 2005 In most regional categories a site will be listed in the city it is located in. If an editor can not find an address on a site he might reject the site as he can not determine in which city category to put the site. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
jimnoble Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 A conventional bricks and mortar address on the website's contact page would help us to reach the decision you hope for .
www.bouncehire Posted April 1, 2005 Author Posted April 1, 2005 So resubmitting a site to the regional category you suggest, this will no doubt be treated as a new submission, and the subsequent waiting time will commence again, I have been sitting on the sidelines for 10 months already. A conventional address - now that would be telling every Billy burglar the contents of my garage
Meta pvgool Posted April 1, 2005 Meta Posted April 1, 2005 A conventional address - now that would be telling every Billy burglar the contents of my garage We don't ask you to post the contents of your garage on your site Your address (easy to find in other ways for the ones who knwo how to search) You are living on housenumber 129 (won't publish the rest) But the personname / address doesn't match with the telephone number on your site . I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
bobrat Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Does that mean the company is in fact running out of a garage and has no real location?
jimnoble Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 It means that surfers don't have access to a walk in store/address which rather defeats the objectives of a locality listing .
