dems Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Hi everybody! Its been over 30 days since I submitted. Just checking on it... http://www.cbslimited.com http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Formal_Wear/Women%27s/ THANK YOU for the help! Eric
dems Posted October 17, 2004 Author Posted October 17, 2004 Hi... what does that mean as far as how long it might take? -The reason I ask is, I think this is our 4th (or 5th) submission since Jan '03... and we still haven't shown up!- Thanks! Eric
dems Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 this may sound dumb, but i can't pay someone can i? Thanks dems
bobrat Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Payments to editors for site listings will result in the removal of the editor and probably a permanent ban on your site. In case you are not aware, you are listed in http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/South_Carolina/Localities/L/Lancaster/Business_and_Economy/Shopping
dems Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 Yea... i think that was there from 2+ years ago before i came on board. the web site was primarily an information page about the store back then. now we are a full on shopping site... top 5 in the US, top 2 online (for our business) based on sales. ALL of our competition is in the category we are trying to get listed in (moved to). Do ya'll have any other things I can do to get this taken care of? I love chatting with you guys, but over a year with no DMOZ help for search results in our targeted category is frustrating. Thank you for reading and i'll do anything to help the situation if i can. Any other ideas? Thank you again! dems
Meta hutcheson Posted November 5, 2004 Meta Posted November 5, 2004 >ALL of our competition is in the category we are trying to get listed in (moved to). That's one impressive testimonial to our comprehensiveness. I'd feel more gratified, but ... funny how many submitters seem disagree.
dems Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 Oh most definately. Our customers are from a very uhhhh... targeted seasonal audience. The category we are trying to get listed in/moved to contains every competitor online except 2 (that i know of and they are both new). Thats why I'm tryin to get in there so bad. Could also use the backlink for google. We are by far the biggest on the net, and # 1 or 2 in sales (depending on who you talk to ) of all the people on that list. My boss is IT-friendly and "gets" the overall importance of being listed here. I gotta make sure I can tell him I'm doing all I can to get listed/moved. c-ya! dems ps: i think the people that disagree with what the dmoz can do, have not taken the time to do thier research. in the work i've done over the past year, its impossible to deny the dmoz's influence on search engines .

Meta kokopeli Posted December 16, 2004 Meta Posted December 16, 2004 I merged the new thread you started with the old one, as stated in our guidelines please keep to the original thread as it's difficult to follow a conversation when it's in multiple places. Your last update was given 10-18-2004, so you are next eligible on 4-19-05 as we give status checks every six motnhs.
dems Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Sorry! I actually tried searching for that thread before I posted but was unable to locate it. Can you guys tell me if anyone is actually tending to this particuliar category? Thank you! dems
jimnoble Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Hundreds of us are. It's just that being volunteers, we can set our own priorities.
dems Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Yea I totally understand that and I know you guys are doing the best you can. My frustration comes in by fact that we have been doing this online for 3 years (submitting here for 2), and because we have developed a more comprehensive site than anyone else, we are the biggest in the world (online). I so value this directory for its complete-ness and search engine exposure, that I feel slighted that we are still not listed. I got another question.... we are listed in the "regional" portion of the dmoz... is there any benifit to putting in a "move listing" request?... or should I just leave it be?... and if I can/should try that, where do I find the form to do that? Thank you ALL again for your help!!!!! dems
Meta hutcheson Posted December 16, 2004 Meta Posted December 16, 2004 No, don't ask for a "move listing" request. The regional listing is correct: we wouldn't consider moving it. And it won't delay or prejudice the site's topical review.
