Meta kokopeli Posted May 19, 2005 Meta Posted May 19, 2005 It's been declined and cannot be listed. Sorry.
Meta hutcheson Posted May 19, 2005 Meta Posted May 19, 2005 The webmaster knows what content is on the site and where he got it from -- that is, whether it's unique or not. What can we tell him that he doesn't already know?
CustomerService Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 Is my web site not unique? I built it myself while using an application. I cannot find another site like mine in the Directory. I have images and product descriptions from my supplier, but other than that my site is completely original. Please help.
Meta hutcheson Posted May 19, 2005 Meta Posted May 19, 2005 It would be a betrayal of confidence to discuss how WE find other sites like yours.
CustomerService Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 I just revised my earlier post. Can you tell me what is not "unique." I am stumbling on this term. I read through the rules and regulations, and felt my site qualified.
CustomerService Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 May I directed to the sites that are similiar? (the ones I can not find.)
CustomerService Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 I have again looked over the http://dmoz.org/guidelines/include.html#notinclude site and I meet the criteria.
Meta pvgool Posted May 19, 2005 Meta Posted May 19, 2005 As stated in the forum guidelines If your site has been rejected, please keep in mind that arguing about the editorial decision will not be tolerated. Please note that at the bottom of the "add URL" screen it says "Netscape and the ODP have unfettered editorial discretion to determine the structure and content of the directory" and "a site's placement in the directory is subject to change or deletion at any time" I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
CustomerService Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 Is there anything else you can tell me that would help. I feel at a loss, and I don't even know why.
Meta kokopeli Posted May 19, 2005 Meta Posted May 19, 2005 See Why won't you get into a discussion about why you won't list my site?
CustomerService Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 If I add substantially more relevant content (text, images, links, etc) may I resubmit the site?
Meta kokopeli Posted May 19, 2005 Meta Posted May 19, 2005 With shopping sites the most important content is the products being sold, in a case where a site is seling products that are not unique then adding text, links or new photos would not help.
CustomerService Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 Thank you. I search the OPD with the primary products I offer, and am unable to view/find any web site in the OPD with such products. Where do I go from here?
spectregunner Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 There are many other venues on the Internet for you to list your site. There are search engines, business directories and the like. that is probably your best bet.
Meta kokopeli Posted May 19, 2005 Meta Posted May 19, 2005 There are many reasons why we cannot be more specific than this, you've been given as much information as we are able to give. Spectregunner has given good advice.
CustomerService Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 Thank you. Does this mean my site will in no way be listed within OPD? If so, Thank you to the moderators and editors who took time to discuss my submittal.
Meta kokopeli Posted May 19, 2005 Meta Posted May 19, 2005 Yes, it has been denied. Sorry, and good luck
