mitchv Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Hi, Im new here and i want to know the status of either http://www.marshtincknell.com or http://www.myprincipasites.net/mt, i registered both sites, but they dont seem to ever be apporoved, may i ask why?? thanks
bobrat Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 You could not have registered them, there is no such concept - you might have suggested them If you suggested both those sites - you may have ignored the submission guidelines which warn you of the possible consequences of suggesting related sites with similar content - you may wsih to read http://www.dmoz.org/add.html But I can't tell you for sure since marshtincknell.com does not exist as a working site If you wish an answer to your question please read Read the guidelines before posting. http://resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=396 and reply to this thread
mitchv Posted April 7, 2005 Author Posted April 7, 2005 sorry, i meant i suggested them, and the website should of read http://www.marshtincknell.com.au. http://www.myprincipasites.net/mt is the website i want to be registered though, but i think that our company is going to upload that site to the domain http://www.marshtincknell.com.au. Sorry about that, i have read through the guidelines and i cant seem to see what i have done wrong, could i please get some help? Thanks
bobrat Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 [i guess you own the URL marshtincknell.com but it's not active] and you have to follow the posting rules before an editor can answer you e.g. .. no category .. no date of submission so I have no idea what else you missed
mitchv Posted April 7, 2005 Author Posted April 7, 2005 Ok i suggested it in business/accounting/firms/australia/queensland. http://dmoz.org/Business/Accounting/Firms/Accountants/Australia/Queensland/ and ive posted it afew times, my most recent has been today, but i have tried to submit it about 3 or 4 times? but the first time would of been over a month probably about a month and a half? I'm lost help me! lol
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted April 7, 2005 Editall/Catmv Posted April 7, 2005 If the most recent time was "today" (probably yesterday, by now), you may ask again in this thread in one month from then.
mitchv Posted April 10, 2005 Author Posted April 10, 2005 thats what i said, the most recent, recent meaning there were times before this where no action has been taken. I just need to know what i have done wrong on my site so i can fix it and you can the put it through. But just ignoring the problem shouldnt be the alternative. could someone just look at my site or if i have left out any other little information please tell me, so i can finally get my site registered with dmoz?? Thanks for your time guys
bobrat Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 I'm afraid you are mis-understanding the purpose of this forum - not only the rules for posting - but the purpose. The sole purpose of the Site Submission Status is to ensure that site are in the heap for possible review. Because of the way the submission process works, and to avoid spending time on sites that get reviewed within a month of submission, we require the month delay. To avoid excess requests after the first status - we require a six month delay. It is not a forum to get a site reviewed faster, or to actually review the site. Many of the answers that are given by editors in this forum are obtained by looking an internal logs that provide the answer, and they may not even bother looking at your site. Since the majority of editors do not even look at this forum, so the editor that actually reviews a site is unlikely to even read this thread.
mitchv Posted April 10, 2005 Author Posted April 10, 2005 Ok so in that case i will wait a month again and post here again after that...... seems abit weird as people dont keep track of exactly when they submitted until its too late, myself being one of those. Ok so ill talk to you guys again in a month if my site doesnt get submitted Thanks for your time Talk to you later
oneeye Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Why don't you submit (once) to the Mt Gravatt locality category in the Regional branch as well. It can do no harm and does not affect the listing in Business. Some sites are reviewed in 24 hours, others can take several years, it is the nature of a voluntary group like ours, it does not mean there is anything wrong with the site necessarily. And once you submit the site it does not expire - resubmitting can only possibly damage your review chances if the editor chooses to sort by date - a later submission overwrites an earlier one. You also submitted 2 identical/related URLs - that is a breach of guidelines that can result in all sites being excluded permanently but I guess you have a second chance on that one.
mitchv Posted April 11, 2005 Author Posted April 11, 2005 Yeh my bad, so you can submit your site to as many related catagorys and they wont affect the other ones? nice ill go try and see if i can find some other areas where my site may get looked at abit quicker. Thanks
oneeye Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 NO!!! You submit to one and only one category. You may submit to another specified one if an editor gives you the go ahead - in this case Mt Gravatt in the Regional branch. If you do any others you will most likely be labelled a spammer and the site can be totally excluded for all time.
mitchv Posted April 11, 2005 Author Posted April 11, 2005 so you have given me the go ahead to submit to the regional Mt Gravatt one??
mitchv Posted April 26, 2005 Author Posted April 26, 2005 Sorry to do this guys, but the site that i suggested has now changed domain now? do i have to re suggest it or can you guys change what ive suggested?? I suggested http://www.myprincipasites.net/mt, but the site has changed to http://www.marshtincknell.com.au I am sorry about this...... :o Thanks for the help
mitchv Posted April 26, 2005 Author Posted April 26, 2005 thanks, when i found out it had been switched i was stressing i would have to wait even longer lol
