Has Dmoz banned my site?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

Sorry for such a long post but it is best that I tell the full story to get advice. So here goes:

 

I used to have a listing in Dmoz http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Disabilities/Assistive_Technology/Daily_Living

 

for my site

 

Http://www.radue.co.za/easilace/

 

then I got a new Url ( http://www.easilace.co.za )

 

and tried to change the old Url to the new one but the script would not find my old Url.

 

So I decided to sumbit my new Url to another catagory ie.

http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Footwear/Accessories

which was an even more appropriate place for it.

 

I have since had my first listing removed (I think for duplicate submissions ) from Dmoz with no luck on my new Url submission.

 

Google still lists me under their directory http://directory.google.com/Top/Shopping/Health/Disabilities/Assistive_Technology/Daily_Living/?il=1

 

I have no way of changing googles directory listing to my new Url- have changed all my back links etc and a 301 redirect is not possible.

 

Every time I try to resubmit to dmoz I get an error and there is no editor for the original catagory.

 

Please can some one give me some advice on getting listed again and whether or not both my sites and IP have been banned or any general help would be much apreciated.

Your original listing (with the old URL) was updated per your request back in mid October but, since you also asked to be moved to the Footwear Accessories category in the same update request, the editor reviewing the request had to send the site to unreviewed in the new category. That's why you disappeared from the original category. Google hasn't updated their directory yet which is why your site is still showing up with the old URL in the old category there.
