BrianWright Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Please let me know the status of http://www.shutterland.com/ and http://www.shutterland.net/. Both were submitted to http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Home_and_Garden/Windows/Window_Coverings/Shutters/, which I am sure is the correct category. The two sites each sell a unique product, one interior shutters and the other exterior shutters. Thank you for your time, Brian
jimnoble Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I don't have time to look right now, but be assured we'll only be listing one of them at most. Spreading a website over multiple domain names doesn't make it eligible for multiple listings.
BrianWright Posted November 23, 2004 Author Posted November 23, 2004 Thank you for your review. Really they are two different companies selling different products to a different customer base. I am not tryint to spam or submit multiple listing for the same site. ShutterLand Interior Shutters - http://www.shutterland.com Sells shutters for the inside of homes. ShutterLand Exterior Shutters - http://www.shutterland.net Sells shutters for the outside of homes. Please review these sites, and I will trust your opinion. Thank you for your time.
jimnoble Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 they are two different companiesI think you'll find they're both owned by Brimar Enterprises Inc. http://www.shutterland.com 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. http://www.shutterland.net was received and has been declined. Please don't resubmit.
Meta hutcheson Posted November 23, 2004 Meta Posted November 23, 2004 Whatever shenanigans you allege to have been played with corporate incorporation, these are indisputably "related" sites. Read the submittal policy and see what it says about "submitting related sites." We don't usually do what it says there unless the submitter presists in pressing the case, but the policy is there to allow us to protect ourselves against spam. And "spam" is, of course, a concept that can be defined ONLY by the RECIPIENT. We are the recipient; WE have told YOU what submittals are regarded by us as spam -- and by definition those submittals ARE therefore spam.
BrianWright Posted November 29, 2004 Author Posted November 29, 2004 Sorry. I understand. I thank you for your services and prompt replies. I don't want to do anything that violatest your inclusion rules. Thank you for considering including http://www.shutterland.com. Brian
Meta hutcheson Posted November 29, 2004 Meta Posted November 29, 2004 OK, I think we're clean. Shutterland.com links to the .net, and vice versa, so we don't care which to list. Ergo, we'll save .com for review, and reject .net as a copy. You're welcome to bump the thread in 6 months (if you haven't seen it listed) to recheck on the .com status.
BrianWright Posted May 11, 2005 Author Posted May 11, 2005 Status of ShutterLand.com Please let me know the status update of http://www.shutterland.com. I last checked the status about 6 months ago and it was still "pending". Also, how can I find out if the category http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Home_and_Garden/Windows/Window_Coverings/Shutters/ has an editor? I have applied to become an editor but was rejected. Is it inappropriate for an operator of a site within a category to be an editor of the same category? Thank you for your time. Brian
BrianWright Posted May 11, 2005 Author Posted May 11, 2005 Sorry. Sorry. I will resubmit my request at that time. Can you answer my question about becoming an editor? Thanks.
spectregunner Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Yes, it can be appropriate. One who seeks to become an editor for the sole purpose of listing one's own site is probably risking failure, and a site ban if their behavior is particularly bad.
BrianWright Posted May 11, 2005 Author Posted May 11, 2005 Thanks. I understand, and certainly would never look to be an editor to promote my on site. Is there a way to appeal an application rejection, or should I just resubmit an application? Thanks.
Meta hutcheson Posted May 11, 2005 Meta Posted May 11, 2005 There is no way to appeal. Re-applications are not forbidden, and persistence is a good sign (you HAVE to be persistent to keep doing this stuff, for no pay and heavy criticism, just because you think it's a good thing to do.) But don't reapply until you've figured out how to write a better application.
