daz.webinker Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Hi, Can I have the status for the folllowing please: URL: http://www.sladeshomes.co.uk Category (1st): http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Dorset/Christchurch/Business_and_Economy/Property/ Category (2nd): http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Dorset/Bournemouth/Business_and_Economy/Property/ Thanks Daz
Guest gimmster Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I'm not even going to look at the categories, the site was enough. The site is under construction and will be deleted as soon as anyone looks at it. Also you are advised to suggest a completed site to the single most appropriate category. Since there might possibly be multiple physical locations, if there are, submit it to the lowest category that covers all locations, once the site is completed - I'd guess at http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Dorset/Business_and_Economy/Property/ :tree:
daz.webinker Posted October 9, 2004 Author Posted October 9, 2004 Great suggestions! my apologies ... only ... maybe you should have looked at the categories, as wouldnt submitting to Dorset rather than the towns be rather unsuitable as the site only serves 2 towns rather than the whole of Dorset As regards to the site being under construction, my sincerest apologies ... if I'd known my site was going to be reviewed so quick I would have waited till Monday when the site goes live before submitting to DMOZ ... not discounting the fact that I have already got other sites from 3 months back that are waiting for review in the same categories. ... Im guessing your the only person on that island ... with human interaction not being your strong point Thanks for your reply Daz
Guest gimmster Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 if I'd known my site was going to be reviewed so quick I would have waited till Monday when the site goes live before submitting to DMOZ I didn't review the site, you asked about it, I looked in answering. You are also asked not to not ask for status until 30 days from the last submittal (This forums rules, which you had to agree to). not discounting the fact that I have already got other sites from 3 months back that are waiting for review in the same categories.There are no sites waiting in either of those categories. Im guessing your the only person on that island ... with human interaction not being your strong point Nope dealing with impatient spammers is not my strong suit. Thanks for your replyYou are welcome. Seriously I'll try to help out, but you have ignored at least 3 pieces of the guiding information provided so far. :tree:
daz.webinker Posted October 9, 2004 Author Posted October 9, 2004 I ask for confirmation not as an impatient spammer, more out of frustration that submittions are getting dropped / lost / moved, having previously stuck to your guidelines only to be told that the url in question wasnt even in the queue was a little annoying, and now you are telling me that there are no other sites waiting in those categories! So drawing a line in the sand ... whats going on?
daz.webinker Posted October 9, 2004 Author Posted October 9, 2004 Sorry mate, as your probably going to need more info to answer that 'whats going on?' take this for example: URL http://www.fulljamesandslade.co.uk Category http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Dorset/Bournemouth/Business_and_Economy/Property/ Thanks Daz
Guest gimmster Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 You suggested your site, but apparently felt that the suggestion guidelines did not apply to your sites. http://dmoz.org/add.html Do not submit sites "under construction." Wait until a site is complete before submitting it. Sites that are incomplete, contain "Under Construction" notices, or contain broken graphics or links aren't good candidates for the directory. Identify the single best category for your site. The Open Directory has an enormous array of subjects to choose from. You should submit a site to the single most relevant category. Sites submitted to inappropriate or unrelated categories may be rejected or removed. This forum exists to allow you to check if a site has been received, however to make it workable we ask (in the forum rules) that you not ask until a month from your suggestion date (the last suggestion, as later suggestions to the same category overwrite previous ones). Answering within shorter time frames has a minimal effect on the site, but a major effect on the time editors spend here. Very few sites are never received, but for the rare technical problems we offer this forum to confirm reception. <edit>There are no sites waiting in the Christchurch cat, however there are in the Bournemouth cat. </edit> :tree:
Guest gimmster Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 oops, there are sites waiting in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Dorset/Bournemouth/Business_and_Economy/Property sorry for the scare, I'm not sure why I missed them the first time. <added> the fulljames site is one of them</added> :tree:
daz.webinker Posted October 27, 2004 Author Posted October 27, 2004 bump Hi, the site is now finished, can you give me the status of: http://www.sladeshomes.co.uk http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Dorset/Business_and_Economy/Property/
