My old website same name different URL http://www.nrnilstormlab.com was accepted into your system. I just want to now how how things are going with the URL changeover and the updated summary. Thanks, Greg Manarik
dogbows Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 The URL: http://www.nislwx.com/ Is listed as Northern Illinois Storm Lab in the very category you mentioned here: http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Illinois/Weather/
gmoney802 Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 just wondering if it went through because only a few search engines have it so far Greg Manarik
Guest gimmster Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 We don't do search engines, only the directory. If you can find it by looking in the category, thats all we care about. (That's including our own search, it's not important) :tree:
gmoney802 Posted March 30, 2005 Author Posted March 30, 2005 Dead Links What will happen with all the dead links that link to my site? Will they eventully be replaced? I thought I was already put into the directory but my old site was still there how long does it usually take to replace the url? Thank you for your timely responses.

bobrat Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Doing a lot of guessing about what you mean I'm assuming you mean http://www.nrnilstormlab.com and I'm assuming it's permanently dead. You should have pointed that URL to your new site and/or done a 301 redirect - then you would not have a problem - but any discussion of that is outside the scope of this forum. Any copy of ODP data that is out of date and has your old URL is not under our control, some may update soon, others may never update. If you are talking about the ODP search - it's out of date - and I have no idea about when it will update - but is has no real impact outside of ODP itself.
dogbows Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Greg Manarik http://www.nislwx.com (new site URL) http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=Northern+Illinois+Storm+Lab (Link with the old site URL) Greg, the dmoz search link that you posted states at the bottom that is was last updated December 17, 2004. Your URL change has been since then, so as bobrat said search is out of date. However, in the actual category where your site is listed, it links to the new URL. That is the only part we have any control over. There is nothing more we can do. Sorry.
