lalalali Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I dont like to report websites or webmasters, but there is something that is bugging me a bit as it is almost criminal in my opinion. There is a dating site called loopylove.com....and another one that is called pocado.com They remind me of each other and I had the feeling it is exactly the same website. However they do not tell you on the terms and conditions, of course...but it is the same company behind them. So when you register on pocado.com, you end up in the same database. One way to find out, is the path to the uploaded user pictures: http://images.loopylove.com/images_resized/A7/EF/A7EFFEA5-1143-E871-1364442CB4BE9B53.jpg http://images.pocado.com/images_resized/A7/EF/A7EFFEA5-1143-E871-1364442CB4BE9B53.jpg Usually I would not care about it....but I do because of the following personal reasons: - I have created a profile on there and it is hard to get it removed - i receive faked messages once in a while - but I can not read them unless I pay a membership fee - there are a lot of other good dating sites that never really made it into Dmoz - but Pocado is not worth being listed as it has no original content itself. I know you try to keep the directory short instead of listing everything - but either all good sites are listed or all. but if you are interested in quality only listen one of those 2 websites - in doubt the one with most visitors (loopylove). Or what do you think of it I personally would try to list as many as possible, just in order to find them all on the Alexa website so see which one is most popular...sometimes the ones with a lot of traffic are not listed - and if you only look on Alexa you might accidentally miss good ones. But this is just my 2 cent!
gboisseau Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Thanks for pointing this out. There is many more sites that are mirrors of these that you mentioned (same content and owned by the same company). They will be dealt with. While we can not be the internet police, we do look for unique content. The actual company website (which is not here) is the only listable one. Thanks again.
maila Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Mirror Sites are listed on Dmoz There are two mirror sites are listed on dmoz http://www.volunteerinternshipnepal.org http://www.vsnnepal.org and http://www.hopenhome.org and webnepal.com/infonepal
lalalali Posted May 24, 2007 Author Posted May 24, 2007 Loopylove is back again as Quickflirt Loopylove is back again as Quickflirt.com on DMOZ. The suspicious thing about it is how fast they manage to get included again on DMOZ with a new domain name (and same site). Is it possible it belongs to some DMOZ editor ? Usually webmasters have to wait for months or years - and some never even make it to DMOZ ......
wing Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Loopylove is back again as Quickflirt.com on DMOZ. The suspicious thing about it is how fast they manage to get included again on DMOZ with a new domain name (and same site). Is it possible it belongs to some DMOZ editor ? I suppose anything is possible, but perhaps it's more likely that they submitted all three at the same time and the one you mentioned only just got reviewed? I suppose corruption is possible but not the only possibility and not the most likely. Of course, if you suspect otherwise you're welcome to submit an abuse report so that it can be investigated.
massage parlour Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 There is a dating site called loopylove.com....and another one that is called pocado.com I have also met pacado in my site under this <url removed> contact me now logo, which is ours. They really do not worth to be taken into consideration, but they are persistent indeed. How can I enter Dmoz, by-the-way?
