[Guest dougb]

I submitted a site

www.longdistance-phonerates.com

but i forgot which category..

Is there any way to see if it has been rejected?

Thanks

No. It's what we call an "affiliate banner farm", so you can expect it to be rejected, wherever you submitted it, whenever it's reviewed.

even though i bought that url and pay for hosting, the fact that someone else updates my site means it will be rejected?

thanks,

Our concern is with the site's content, not its ownership or developers.

 

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. (If English is not your native language, feel free to check out the other forums.)

 

If you are asking--can just anyone (not the owner) request that a site be reviewed [again], and can that cause the site to be rejected or removed? The answer is YES. Anyone can report a good site that isn't listed; anyone can complain about a bad site that is listed.

 

If your question is: Suppose someone else buys the domain name from you, and places other content on that site, will there still be a problem? The answer is YES. Anyone who takes up that domain will take on its reputation. Since it is a bad reputation, they'll have to spend more time and money cleaning it up.

 

Do we see this (whichever you meant) as a problem? No.

 

Should people who like to buy secondhand domains see this as a risk? Definitely. The ODP is not at all the only place on the web where a site can develop a reputation that affects the site owner.
