reciprocal_link Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 I've always have submitted my site http://www.newworldproducts.org to the category: Computers: Software: Internet: Website Promotion and have yet to see my resouceful site be listed in dmoz.org. I see simular site there for instance: http://www.123link.com/ http://www.linkmarket.net/ http://www.linkexchanged.com/ and have decided that it was best to go here and find out what was going on and have also applied to become a editor because of this reason.. Now I sure hope that something can be done so my directory theme can be added. Thank you very much for your time and corroperation in this matter.
reciprocal_link Posted November 15, 2004 Author Posted November 15, 2004 I will take it that your not a editor and your trying to get my panties in a uproar.........
djdeeds Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 It says right there in the post that bobrat is an editor. Let's not make any accusations, please. Several editors (none of which was bobrat, as far as I know) have concurred that this site is not listable. Arguing the point is not acceptable in this forum. Please see http://dmoz.org/guidelines/include.html#notinclude for all details we are able to provide. Thanks.
reciprocal_link Posted November 15, 2004 Author Posted November 15, 2004 The purpose of the site is to help its members by forming link popularity. This is the goal of the website. Which is being accomplished. Now for ODP and the editors saying such content about the site, I must say that well your off track. And everysite on the net has to have a means of making pennies to stay active. So ODP cant just say oh your not going to be listed in our directory because your trying to pay your network cost and your hosting cost and advertising costs and some of the time that you spend........
bobrat Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 So ODP cant just say oh your not going to be listed in our directory In fact it can and does. http://www.dmoz.org/add.html - which you agreed you had read when you submitted your site, contains the following text: We don't accept all sites, so please don't take it personally should your site not be accepted. Please recognize that making the ODP a useful resource requires us to exercise broad editorial discretion in determining the content and structure of the directory. That discretion extends (but is not limited) to what sites to include, where in the directory sites are placed, whether and when to include more than one link to a site, when deep linking is appropriate, and the content of the title and description of the site And this forum clearly indicates that we do not discuss the reasons ==>http://resource-zone.com/forum/faq.php?faq=rz_faq#faq_discus_site and http://resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=396 "If your site has been rejected, please keep in mind that arguing about the editorial decision will not be tolerated."
