Guest rhog4 Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Hi, Could you check the status of: http://www.sexcottage.com This is where I submitted it to: http://dmoz.org/Adult/Shopping/Sex_Toys_and_Supplies/S/
Meta Jezebel Posted April 11, 2003 Meta Posted April 11, 2003 Unfortunately the site was rejected because the editor could not find the enter link. I have added the site back into the queue where it is now waiting with a handful of others. Perhaps you could consider making the 'enter' link clearer because it took me a while to find it too. <img src="/images/icons/smirk.gif" alt="" />
Guest rhog4 Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 Thanks so much. I'll change it. How far down on the list am I? Thanks, Sibyl
Meta Jezebel Posted April 11, 2003 Meta Posted April 11, 2003 That all depends on how the editor sorts the queue. I'm afraid I can only advise that there are a handful of sites waiting for review in that category. <img src="/images/icons/smirk.gif" alt="" />
Guest rhog4 Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 When you have time can you give a quick peek & see if the "enter" looks okay or maybe you have a suggestion? Thanks for your help. Sibyl
Meta Jezebel Posted April 12, 2003 Meta Posted April 12, 2003 Whoa! There's nothing hidden about that 'enter' link now. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Guest rhog4 Posted April 12, 2003 Posted April 12, 2003 Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I just want to pass "inspection". Now I'm worried, is it to big? Should I make it smaller? lol. Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it! Sibyl
dfy Posted April 13, 2003 Posted April 13, 2003 We really don't care how big your enter link is, as long as it is clear. A tiny text enter link on an empty page is fine, as is a full screen gif. The only time we care is when we can't find it. This is often the case with enter links that aren't in the obvious place (ie. at the bottom of the page). If it's a small text link, it can get lost amongst the clutter. If it's an image saying "Click here for porn pictures", we might think that it's an ad rather than the enter button. I know I've seeen sites where I've spent over two minutes hovering over various links and images trying to find a way into a site, only to give up and delete it. How many surfers do you think will spend any more than 5 seconds looking for the entrance?
Guest rhog4 Posted April 13, 2003 Posted April 13, 2003 Thanks. I'll just sit back & wait. Won't even bother you for another month! Sibyl
Guest rhog4 Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 Will I receive an acceptance or rejection letter or do I need to keep checking to see if I "made the grade"? Thanks,Sibyl
Guest Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 Usually editors don't send emails to submitters if a site has been accepted or rejected. You'll have to check manually, either in the category you submitted to, or do a search for 'sexcottage.com' from within http://dmoz.org/Adult/ (the search database is not generated in real-time, the results may be a few days old). Last alternative is to ask here every 4-5 weeks, preferably after you did a check first. <img src="/images/icons/smirk.gif" alt="" />
Guest rhog4 Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 If I can tell by my log files that someone from the resource board has been into my site but it's not listed in the directory should I resubmit it now? Should I wait for the month to be up, ask for a status report, get an official rejection & then resubmit? I'm antsy! Thanks, Sibyl
Meta mcoupal Posted April 28, 2003 Meta Posted April 28, 2003 >>Should I wait for the month to be up<<Â Best to wait a month before asking again (preferrably, after checking that category. I can tell you it's still pending review. Please remember to use this thread to enquire again. Thanks <img src="/images/icons/cool.gif" alt="" /> Curlie: Been trying to give up the editing addiction since day 1. :moz:
Guest rhog4 Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 Hi, It's been a month. Could you check the status again please? Thanks, Sibyl
Guest Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 Nothing new, your site is still waiting to be reviewed.
Guest rhog4 Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 Thanks so much. Maybe no news is good news. I'll check back in a month. Thanks, Sibyl
Guest rhog4 Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 Hi, It's been another month. Can you check the status again please? Thanks, Sibyl
dfy Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 It's still there. There doesn't seem to have been much movement in that area. Sorry.
Guest rhog4 Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 No news is still good news. I appreciate you taking the time to check for me. Sibyl
Guest rhog4 Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 Hi, Could I have a status check when you have the time? Thanks, Sibyl
dfy Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 Still waiting I'm afraid. I think all the Adult editors are waiting for the server upgrades, after which the system will be much more responsive and easier to work with.
Guest rhog4 Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Thanks so much for checking. I'll check back in another month. Sibyl
Guest rhog4 Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 I'm in! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your Directory. I really appreciate it. Sibyl
Meta Jezebel Posted July 30, 2003 Meta Posted July 30, 2003 I'm currently going through the backlog of shopping sites at the moment, reviewing the ones I can. Paypal aren't allowing you to accept payment through them anymore. Thought I would point that out while I'm here, just in case you weren't aware.
Guest rhog4 Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 I just found that out this morning. I've spent the afternoon trying to figure out how to take Credit Card payments without Paypal.Actually this is a site I've setup for my sister & I'm not sure how she'll afford a merchant account, payment gateway, etc. This is suppose to be a happy day. You let me join you!
