Guest swiftrhett Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 Sirs, I submitted this non-commercial site about 6 or 7 weeks ago and would like to verify the status. Thanks much for your attention. http://www.mexicanmasks.us maskman
Alucard Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 The only way we can check on the submission is if you give us a link to the category to which you submitted the URL. Thanks <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Actually, I found the submission in http://dmoz.org/Arts/Art_History/ where it is a part of a short list.
Guest swiftrhett Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 I'm not clear on the submission because the site will not appear on any search in the open directory - even searching for the exact URL. My intention is that a search for keywords such as "mexican masks" would find the site since it is dedicated exclusively to this subject. Question: will a listing in the open directory allow searches for related keywords as I have submitted? Thanks much for your assistance. maskman www.mexicanmasks.us
Guest rfgdxm Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 If and when this site is added, as the site name is obviously "Mexican Masks", if the editor uses that as the site name yes.
Alucard Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Maskman, one thing I need to comment on from your post - we do not concern ourselves with searching or keywords in the ODP - we will list a site with whatever description is most appropriate for the site, according to the editing guidelines. The site will not show up anywhere until it was been reviewed. Thanks <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Guest swiftrhett Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Thank you, Editors, for your explanations. I wasn't quite sure how the system worked. maskman <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Guest swiftrhett Posted May 17, 2003 Posted May 17, 2003 Sirs: I it's been over two minths and I haven't seen an indication regarding the outcome of my submittal for the non-commercial site: http://www.mexicanmasks.us I believe it was submitted to the category of: Link to <a href="http://dmoz.org/Arts/Art_History/" target="_blank">http://dmoz.org/Arts/Art_History/[/url]</a> A more descriptive sub-category would have been "ethnic art" but I couldn't find it listed. I appreciate any suggestions or assistance on your part so I can have the site listed. Thanks much. maskman <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />
lachenm Posted May 17, 2003 Posted May 17, 2003 You have already received the status for your site: it is waiting for review. Posting in this forum will not get your site listed any faster; it is just a way to let you know the status of your site's submission. I know you have been waiting for a while, but many other sites have also been waiting -- some much longer than yours. I'm afraid you'll just have to be patient until a volunteer editor has the time to review your site. If you want to check back on the status of your site, please wait at least another month, and please re-use this thread if you do.
