princepatel Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 I have been posting on this forum and been trying all possible methods to get the listing for <url removed> back on dmoz which was removed without any notifications inspite of being the best and the most popular website under the category : http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Jewelry/Watches/Replicas/ Till yesterday this section had 29 listings...today i found a new entry for <url removed> To my surprise "There is no website configured at this address." I wanna know whats going on.. wheres justice... its over 9 months to get my listed domain back.. i think dmoz is fixed.. CAN ANYBODY HELP .. OR JUST CLOSE THIS TICKET AND MOVE IT OUT... ???
old_crone Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 Why do you think you should be notified when your site is listed or de-listed? And how many members accounts do you have? What does CLOSE THIS TICKET mean?
princepatel Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 i deserve being in dmoz I dont need any explainations as such.. but there has to be some reason... this makes one believe that this is not a fair play... you can check out yourself.. that <url removed> compared to all 30 other domains listed in this category undoubtedly stands apart compare.. the content, design, domain age, google pr, alexa rating, customer reviews... after having a great website it hurts when ur being rejected or ignored without any reasons... i felt that this is the right place to express my grievence to the concern authorities.. just to put forth this matter...
Expertu Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 A response from the ODP editor which reviewed your website (delist, list), is optional.
Meta nea Posted May 29, 2006 Meta Posted May 29, 2006 Not only optional, but discouraged, as a matter of fact. However, I've never edited anywhere near that category (as far as I'm aware) so I have nothing to do with the delisting of the site. There is no secret about why that site is not listable, though. In fact it's obvious when you look at it, and I'm not sure why you would think that it could ever be listed in its current state. Please refer to http://dmoz.org/license.html for more information.

jeanmanco Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 There certainly was a reason for the site's removal. May I suggest that you take a look at http://dmoz.org/license.html . [Edit] Whoops! Nea got there first. [Another edit] Thanks for letting us know about watchsolution.com, which I have now removed. It was not a new addition to the category. It was listed on 01/Jun/2004, when presumably there was suitable content.
princepatel Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 replica watches I think if trademark violation was the reason for removal then i personally feel that the category http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Jewelry/Watches/Replicas/ should not exist on dmoz. <url removed> has the same content compared to its counterpart websites listed in this category
old_crone Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 Trademark violation? Did you read the ODP's license agreement? It's about using the ODP's content, not about any trademark violations in regards to copy-cat watches.
princepatel Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 my humble request Honarary editors and moderators... its my sincere request to please look into this matter and get the listing of <url rmeoved> back in dmoz... I would be highly grateful... and i had no intentions of putting the blame of hurting anybodys feelings.... Its only that i have been really exploring all possible avenues to get the listing of <url removed> back again in this category which i feel that it rightly deserves...
old_crone Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 You were give a resource to read. That resource will tell you everything you need to do in order to fix your current problem. That is much more than most get when there sites get removed. Your site will not be relisted in it's current state.
Sachti Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 Again, please have a careful look into http://dmoz.org/license.html . [Edit]too late ;-)
Expertu Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 been trying all possible methods to get the listing for <url removed> back on dmoz I just went there now, and i get redirected to a : http://www../ How can you even ask a reinclusion if you have that error in the website ?
princepatel Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 Im not a tech guy I really cannot understand where i have went wrong.. i have read the licensing throughly... there is absolutely no changes made to the layout of the website since it was dmoz listed... I would appreciate if somebody could help me find some way out.
Meta nea Posted May 29, 2006 Meta Posted May 29, 2006 Expertu, it's just the link from princepatel's first posting in this thread that was edited, not an error in the site itself. :moz: Curlie Meta and kMeta editor nea
princepatel Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 site working fine <url removed> works perfectly fine.. with great google PR and alexa ranking. Please type the URL in your browser...
Expertu Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 Expertu, it's just the link from princepatel's first posting in this thread that was edited, not an error in the site itself. :moz: Ok then. Sorry, i forgot to check the link itself. Maybe the anchor can be modified next time
princepatel Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 I think the title was not appropriate I just modified the title and description for <url removed> may be the previous title was not as per the guidelines.. Any help would be highly appreciated
Expertu Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 Ok .. Let me take you out of your misery Your directory does not state that you use the ODP content. That's against the Open Directory License of use. It's not the damn meta tags man.. A DMOZ inclusion is not dependent on you using Meta tags or not, or if they are correct or not.
princepatel Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 Thanks a million I really appreciate your help, it was very silly mistake that i overlooked... i admit that it was a blunder done at my end. I have already updated the URL with the appropriate content. Hopefully i should get listed again..
Expertu Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 I have already updated the URL with the appropriate content. You still do not mention that you use the content from Thumbshots.org Cheers.
sfromis Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 I have already updated the URL with the appropriate content.No you have not.
princepatel Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 i just checked <url removed> shows dmoz logo with netscape copyrights notice.
