Guest Starski Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Hey all, I am just wondering what the status of http://www.starski.com is. I submitted this to: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Sports/Skiing/ some time ago and havent been listed. Have I been rejected? Cheers Dan
Guest Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 There's a new submission sitting there. The earlier submission was found to NOT be a shopping site, but I don't know if you've changed things since then. If it's not shopping, you should submit to the appropriate UK locality (assuming your shop is one which has a physical location).
Meta kokopeli Posted February 17, 2003 Meta Posted February 17, 2003 I viewed your site, does it ship outside of the UK? It does not appear, by reading the Information section that you do. If you ship to the UK and another country, you would qualify for a Shopping listing. If you ship only to the UK and related territories, I would suggest submitting to http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Shopping/Recreation_and_Sports/. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />
Guest Starski Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 Hi, Sorry I havent replied, but have ben having problems posting on this board from my home ISP. Anyway I took the advice above and resubmitted to: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Shopping/Recreation_and_Sports/ Havent seen anything yet. Any status? Cheers Dan
Meta kokopeli Posted March 5, 2003 Meta Posted March 5, 2003 It is still in the works in regional. That submission was just made on February 18, so please be patient <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" /> . There are a minimal number of sites waiting in that category. If you see no progress, you can check back here in a month.
Guest Starski Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Hey guys. Its been over a month now since my last post. Anything to report? Regards and many thanks, Starski <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
uzs980 Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Your submission was recently moved to the more specific category of Regional: Europe: United Kingdom: Business and Economy: Shopping: Recreation and Sports: Sports: Mountain Sports. Let's wait another month and see if it is going to be listed. If not, feel free to come back to this thread and ask again. Yours, Robert
Guest Starski Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Thanks Robert, I kind of had a hunch it would end up there, and in retrospect I should have submitted it there to start with. Many thanks Starski
Guest Starski Posted May 9, 2003 Posted May 9, 2003 Hi again. Its been another month and no sign of a listing yet. Any status welcomed. Regards Starski
Meta kokopeli Posted May 9, 2003 Meta Posted May 9, 2003 Still waiting in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Shopping/Recreation_and_Sports/Sports/Mountain_Sports/ with a minimal number of sites. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />
Guest Starski Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 Hi, me again <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> Another month has passed, and now I notice that the number of sites in the cat has been changed to 9 from 10, suggesting it has been purged, and someones been in there. Not sure if any submissions were reviewed. Regards Starski <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Meta kokopeli Posted June 15, 2003 Meta Posted June 15, 2003 Sorry, no change...likely a site was removed for being dead. We have some programs that allow us to access "dead" sites from one spot (sites located in different areas of the directory)...so while it shows that someone edited in that category they may not have actually gone into that specific category and done the edit. I mention this, so it doesn't appear your site was ignored. It is still waiting with less than a handful of other sites. Sorry I don't have better news. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" />
Guest Starski Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 No problem <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for the reply/status. No news is good news <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Starski
Editall/Catmv cleve Posted June 15, 2003 Editall/Catmv Posted June 15, 2003 Hint. Take a look at the other sites in the category where your site is waiting. They all have something that your site doesn't (at the above time and date). Without that bit of information there is a fair chance Regional editors will overlook your site.
