designhaus Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Hello, I'd like to check on a site submission and get some feedback, if necessary. My site is: http://www.designhaus-i-d.com Originally I submitted this site last year to: http://directory.google.com/alpha/Top/Business/Business_Services/Design/Industrial_Designers/ I have since added some content to make the site more than a mere contact page. Can you give me an idea about the status of this submission? Thanks! Jeff Mowry

designhaus Posted January 17, 2003 Author Posted January 17, 2003 Re: DesignHaus site submission Right. Sorry about that. I forgot to mention that I'd just resubmitted the site again. Is there a standard time-frame for waiting before posting in this forum? (Probably three weeks, right? Oops.)
totalxsive Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Re: DesignHaus site submission Usually 1 month.

designhaus Posted January 17, 2003 Author Posted January 17, 2003 Re: DesignHaus site submission Doh! I thought I was posting in that forum, but I must have slipped a groove last night sometime. I'll wait and then try again in the proper forum. Thanks for the help.

sundancerz Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Re: www.designhaus-i-d.com status? Your site was added about a week ago but in this category: http://dmoz.org/Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/Consultants/Design/

designhaus Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 Update for designhaus-i-d.com Hello, I'd like to check on an update for: http://www.designhaus-i-d.com/ We have grown from a sole proprietorship to an LLC (hence name and domain change) and are gaining industry recognition. Our old web site now has a redirection page to our updated web site: http://www.industrialdesignhaus.com/ We would like to move from our existing category: http://dmoz.org/Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/Consulting/Design/ to: http://dmoz.org/Business/Business_Services/Design/Industrial_Designers/ This is because we feel this is a better classification of who we are as an industrial design firm, since we better fit the profile of industrial designers than that of engineers. Any help regarding the update status would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jeff Mowry
thehelper Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Submit an update URL request from the category page. An editor will review it along with the other unreviewed submissions whenever one gets to it. You can check on the status of that update request every 30 days if you like but please resuse this thread if you do. Thanks.
designhaus Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Thanks for the quick feedback. Actually, I submitted the request as you said, but it wasn't 30 days ago, but only about a week. I'll check back here later if necessary. Thanks again, Jeff Mowry
designhaus Posted January 1, 2004 Author Posted January 1, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Hello, I'd like to check again on the status of our site update. I noticed our original site's directory location has changed (eliminated original directory classification?) to: http://dmoz.org/Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/Consulting/Design/ Not sure if that's any help--seems to have happened somewhat recently. We are still aiming for the updated placement to be among industrial designers, since that's what we do: http://dmoz.org/Business/Business_Services/Design/Industrial_Designers/ Any news on the status of this update would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff Mowry
designhaus Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Just checking in to see if there is any news to report. Things still look unchanged. Any updates? Thanks, Jeff Mowry
Meta nea Posted January 8, 2004 Meta Posted January 8, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com There is no update request for designhaus-i-d.com waiting in Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/Consulting/Design/, and there is no sign of one being deleted. Did you submit to Business/Business_Services/Design/Industrial_Designers instead of making an update request? If so (and even if you didn't), do make an update request like thehelper advised in the category where you are currently listed. Use the "Update URL" link in the upper right corner of the page. If you submit to the new category instead it is likely to be deleted as a duplicate. Curlie Meta and kMeta editor nea
designhaus Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Yes, I did make an update request instead of submitting a new site (didn't want the directory to become cluttered with an out-dated site like that). We switched to another host and domain name, so we wanted to coordinate the deletion of the first site with the addition of the second site, only with a switch of categories at the same time, if possible. (See first post here.) So, given where we are now, and the possibility of the original category of designhaus-i-d.com being altered since I requested the update, what do you recommend? Shall we resubmit the update or hope this works out or? Thank you for your reply. Perhaps the error lies in my original request for an update plus a category modification for the site listing.

Meta nea Posted January 8, 2004 Meta Posted January 8, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Resubmit the update - there must have been some kind of glitch the first time. Curlie Meta and kMeta editor nea
designhaus Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Thanks for the quick reply. We'll resubmit. By the way, please let me know if you think there is a problem with our method of requesting an update with a change in category like we did last time. (Otherwise, we'll request an update with category change like last time.) Thanks again, Jeff Mowry
designhaus Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com OK, we resubmitted. Please let me know if our submission doesn't appear. Thanks, Jeff Mowry
thehelper Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Update request received and pending review.
designhaus Posted February 9, 2004 Author Posted February 9, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Looks like we're still pending. Any news on the update? Thanks, Jeff Mowry
designhaus Posted February 12, 2004 Author Posted February 12, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Anyone?
thehelper Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Ok, you are going to have to have your tech people do a 301 redirect on the old domain to the new one. It appears the content is mirrored but the 301 is the final proof. You should do that anyway as Google will penalize you if it finds mirrors of your site. If you do the 301 - post back and I will take care of the update for you.
designhaus Posted February 13, 2004 Author Posted February 13, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Thanks for your help. I didn't think our current page is a mirror since all the links point to our updated site, but otherwise the content on the first page is almost identical. Thanks for letting us know that can be a problem. I've seen some redirects that automatically redirect (using Java), but have a message page for a few seconds before doing so. Is this something that would qualify? If so, we can get that completed today or Monday and we'll be on our way. Thank you very much for your help. Jeff Mowry
thehelper Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com A 301 permanent redirect is really what you want. If you just want to put a note on the old page saying that you moved that will work as well. I would like to see you do the 301 permanent redirect just for you own good but however you want to do it. I just need to know it is the site owner asking for this.
