narayan Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Greetings, when I enter the url of my website in Odp Search Bar, the website appears, but when I enter the category where the website is placed, it does not show up in the category, please advise what can be the reason url of my website is <url removed>
brmehlman Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 The search database has always run behind the directory. Usually it's within a few weeks of being current, but we haven't been able to update it since the technical problems mentioned in the announcement at the top of this forum created such havoc. When we update the search database (sorry, I can't predict how long that will be) then that site will correctly show on the search as not being in the directory. The updated search will then allow you to determine which of your sites we decided was the one to list.
narayan Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 Please Explain Greetings I have not understood your message, do you mean to say that my website <url removed> is no more in dmoz directory and if this is the truth then how can I again re submit this url as it was in dmoz before already Please Advice
brmehlman Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 It's against the TOS of this forum to discuss specific sites. A perusal of old threads will explain why: thousands of pointless arguments and seldom any benefit to anyone. I took your question to be about the rather limited search function on our pages, with the site only as an example, and answered that question.
narayan Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 Last Question Greetings I thank your goodselves for replying so fast Can you please reconfirm that should I resubmit the website or should I wait for the search function to work properly Kindly Advice Thanks:(
sfromis Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I'd recommend (carefully) reading the last sentence of the first response again. "The updated search will then allow you to determine which of your sites we decided was the one to list." No point in resuggesting one of your domains.
Meta hutcheson Posted January 4, 2007 Meta Posted January 4, 2007 narayan, we have a submittal policy. You must read it, and you must agree to it, before you suggest a site. It tells you that if you suggest related sites (such as two sites owned by the same person), ALL OF THOSE SITES MAY BE BANNED. Is that what you want? If that IS what you want, then PLEASE resubmit your other websites. Otherwise, just don't.
Skeletje Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Greetings I thank your goodselves for replying so fast Can you please reconfirm that should I resubmit the website or should I wait for the search function to work properly Kindly Advice Thanks:( They make it a bit complicated for you no? Let me put it straight for you. You must wait, system will take care of your problem. Don't do anything leave it alone and system will solve problem. Do not resubmit!
