ShortStays Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Hi all, checking on the status of http://www.shortstays.net Thanks. The DMOZ directory I was trying to post to is: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/Australia/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/Bed_and_Breakfast/ and I posted the original site there around 10, March 2005. Thanks again.
Meta icxcnika Posted April 15, 2005 Meta Posted April 15, 2005 To which category was it suggested? Give us a link, please. It should start with http://dmoz.org/ Curlie volunteer meta editor icxcnika
ShortStays Posted April 15, 2005 Author Posted April 15, 2005 Have added the DMOZ directory in now. Yes, just added that in sorry. Didn't realise someone would be so quick. Thanks http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/Australia/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/Bed_and_Breakfast/ There are only 2 options under accommodation: B&B and Hotels Our site really fits under the Budget Accommodation banner. Is it possible to create an additional option called Budget Accommodation? Just a thought? Thanks.
Meta hutcheson Posted April 15, 2005 Meta Posted April 15, 2005 That's because that's not the right place for a B&B site. Drill down as far in Regionally-specific topics as is possible (yes, down to the city block, if possible!) and only THEN begin to look for specific industry breakdown.
ShortStays Posted April 15, 2005 Author Posted April 15, 2005 Ok, found one. http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/Australia/New_South_Wales/Localities/S/Surry_Hills/Travel_and_Tourism/ Thanks.
ShortStays Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 Question? Does this now mean I have to repost my URL to DMOZ and wait another month? Or can you just redirect the site to ... http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/Australia/New_South_Wales/Localities/S/Surry_Hills/Travel_and_Tourism/ Thanks.

Thanks again. Hi,all, I want to update the website http://www.acruxtel.com to the ODP directory of http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Telecommunications/Equipment/Telephones/Pay_Phones/ Who could help me? Many thanks laisimin
jimnoble Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 Other than abuse reports, posting here doesn't affect the directory in any way. You won't be penalised for suggesting your site to the correct category, so go right ahead. You can come back to this same thread a month later and ask for another status report.
ShortStays Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 Bugger, I was hoping you weren't going to say that. Will re-post to the right site. Thanks.
Meta hutcheson Posted April 16, 2005 Meta Posted April 16, 2005 You don't have to re-post. You can wait until the editor spots your site in the wrong category unreviewed pile, and moves it closer to the right category to wait for a review (this process may take multiple steps...) We do that for all sites, and if the wrong category was at all plausible -- which yours was -- we won't really even mind. But if it's to your benefit to get the site listed more quickly, a bit more help from you may make a difference. Your choice, and whatever you decide: in the toxic waste swamp of hotel rezzing spammers and travel directory banner ad farms, submittal of a real site about a real provider of accommodation service in a real geographic location will be GREATLY appreciated, even if (for reasons mentioned above) we don't get to it quickly.
ShortStays Posted May 7, 2005 Author Posted May 7, 2005 Resubmitted www.shortstays.net to correct site a month ago I resubmitted our site to the right location as requested a month ago, and am enquiring on it's status, thanks. http://dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/Australia/New_South_Wales/Localities/S/Surry_Hills/Travel_and_Tourism/ http://www.shortstays.net Thanks.
Meta hutcheson Posted May 7, 2005 Meta Posted May 7, 2005 You jumped the gun a bit on the timing, but on the other hand, I do appreciate your help. The site is waiting there for an editor to review it.
ShortStays Posted May 9, 2005 Author Posted May 9, 2005 Hi again, as we also have short term accommodation available at Bondi Beach as well as Surry Hills, can I also please have the website included on: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/Australia/New_South_Wales/Localities/B/Bondi_Beach/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/ in addition to http://dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/Australia/New_South_Wales/Localities/S/Surry_Hills/Travel_and_Tourism/ Our website is: http://www.shortstays.net/ Many thanks.
Guest gimmster Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 No. But.... when the Bondi property is actually available for rent, use the 'update listing' option in the existing category (if it has been listed) to request a move to the level that encompasses both locations (Bondi and Surrey Hills = Greater_Sydney) http://dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/Australia/New_South_Wales/Regions/Greater_Sydney/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/ If not listed, suggest the site to that category *when the accommodation is available* (place a note in brackets [at the end of your description to say previously suggested to Surrey hills, but new property added])
