Guest kzech Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 I submitted the site http://www.premierbuilders-inc.com to http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Wisconsin/Localities/D/DeForest/ and am curious as to the submission's status. Thanks.
motsa Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 The site has been listed in Waunakee, which is where the business is located, for several weeks. In the future, only submit a business to Regional to the town/city where the business is actually located -- it looks like you submitted to a couple of neighbouring towns/cities but not the actual one the business is in.
Guest kzech Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Thank you for registering the site in Waunakee. Is there a way to register this URL in: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Wisconsin/Localities/D/DeForest/ as well? This company's clients are both in Waunakee and DeForest area. Also.... wondering if you can answer this for me (sorry new to submitting sites), how come this site (http://www.premierbuilders-inc.com) is not coming up when I type in Premier Builders in the search field in Goggle. A bunch of other Premier Builders sites show up, just not theirs. How do I write a better submission to get better results? Some sites get listed multiple times, others don't. Why? How can I get mine listed more?
motsa Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Sites aren't listed in Regional by where their clients are but by where the company is physically located. So it will only get a listing in Waunakee in Regional. RE: searching - it takes time for listed sites to turn up in Google searches (there are other threads here and in various SEO forums that can give you more information about how and when).
beebware Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 motsa makes a very good point about the "location" of a company. Microsoft has customers in practically every locality of practically every country: does that entitle them to a listing in every single one of those localities? If you say "yes" because you want the same rule to apply to your site (listing in every location you have customers) - think how worthless the ODP would become. Especially since any "web enabled" company can have customers from all over the globe...
