My site swapped for another... strange issue

[r_brink]

Hello - My site was listed for a few years. I know we are not supposed to post URL's, but I don't know how to explain this situation without doing it. Please delete my post if I am stepping out of line.

 

My site is <url removed>, but within the past year or so it was removed (or changed) in the directory. There is a site listed now, <url removed> that is very product driven and mostly points to another website. This site was listed around the time mine was taken away. I don't necessarily think that an editor is being self serving, but I think that this new site may have tricked an editor to update my listing with this new info (if that is possible).

 

I am just having issues because my site provides so much free information, and most of the sites listed in the catagory push a product without providing any free tools or education. I have re-submitted with no avail.

 

Any ideas of what I should do?

 

R. B.

The scenario you describe is theoretically possible, but we have standard protocols that SHOULD prevent it. I've verified that in this case there was no such connection (no connection of any kind) between the two events you describe.

 

As another completely unconnected event, it appears someone else thought the hyphenated site should not be listed, so it has been taken care of. (Thanks for instigating that!)

 

Resubmitting is the approved option. But we don't know how long it will be before the review happens.

But we don't know how long it will be before the review happens.

And keep in mind that that review may not result in the site being listed again.
