Guest illusionist Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 I been trying to get my site added to the dmoz dirctory since 6-8 months now. Can the editors pls tell me what is wrong with he submission?
Meta mcoupal Posted April 18, 2003 Meta Posted April 18, 2003 We'll need the category you submitted to in order to check the status. Curlie: Been trying to give up the editing addiction since day 1. :moz:
Guest illusionist Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Oh...sry, i didnt know that. here is where i had submitted the last time http://www.dmoz.com/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Web_Portals/ ....thanx for the help.
motsa Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Oh my. Big backlog in that area. Offhand, I can tell you that you're very likely never going to be listed, though, because the bulk of your content comes from other sites and is very heavy on the affiliate links (Allposters, CelebrityWonder, Amazon, Indianmatches, etc.). Even your directory is just a straight link to dmoz.org. I can also see that you've been submitting the site to a lot of different categories, not just the one you mention here...you should stop doing that.
Guest illusionist Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Thank you for replying, Well yes everysite do have affiliate links why is that a problem? I have lot of content of my own, pls do have a look at the links below..... http://www.iomx.com/Music/music.htm ( IOMX is the only site on the net that has database of Indian Guitar Tabs ) http://www.iomx.com/movies/Movies.htm ( Weekly updated Box Office Report and Movie reviews) http://www.iomx.com/Baby_Names/Baby_Names.htm http://www.iomx.com/Online_Books/Online_Books.htm http://www.iomx.com/Tech/Technology.htm Hge collection of software downloads} http://www.iomx.com/Homepages/free_website.htm ( Free Website & Communties ) Also pls if you can suggest a better category, that would be very helpful. If you some advice on affilates on banners, i would like to hear that too.
motsa Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 (1) Your free homepages are provided by Community Architect, not you. Non-unique content. (2) Your movies section is riddled with affiliate links and news feeds from smashits.com, backwash.com. Your reviews are not reviews but summaries of the movies that can really be found just about anywhere. All non-unique content. (3) Your software download collection just offers links to software to download from other sites. More non-unique content. (4) Your online books are all provided by http://classicbookshelf.com/ . Again, non-unique content. (5) Your baby names section is definitely not unique -- it all appears to come from babyzone.iwon.com, which in turn got some, if not a lot, of its content from http://www.behindthename.com/ . Now, I'll grant you that the tab stuff could be considered unique content but I haven't looked too deeply at it -- the content there is submitted by your visitors so it's entirely possible that it all exists on other sites as well (you might want to take a look through your database since there appears to be some junk in the English tab section). But we'd be talking about a deeplink to a specific section there, not listing the site under portals.
