Guest mauribart Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Hi, I submitted the following url on 3-21-03 to this category: Top: Regional: North America: United States: Missouri: Metro Areas: Saint Louis Metro The url is: Body Options Massage & Day Spa Can anyone tell me how long to expect before it is reviewed? Thanks very much,
Meta kokopeli Posted May 27, 2003 Meta Posted May 27, 2003 Clickable links like http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Missouri/Metro_Areas/Saint_Louis_Metro/ cut the time it takes to check on a site by more than half. Your site has not been reviewed yet, and is waiting in the queue in that category with a date of 21/Mar/2003 17:08:24 MST. It appears to me that it will just be moved to http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Missouri/Localities/S/Saint_Louis/Business_and_Economy/Services/ as the brick and mortar address of your site states it is located in one location in a mall in St. Louis. The submission guidelines for where you submitted clearly state: For faster indexing, please submit your site TO THE TOWN where your business is located. The Metro is reserved for linking to towns in the area and business locations that have many different locations within the area. Metro Area categories are for sites of businesses and organizations with multiple locations in the area or general information sites specifically about the particular metro area. PLEASE Do not submit sites to these categories based on the area served by a business but rather by the physical location of the business. Thank you for using the Open Directory My advice would be to follow the submission guidelines and submit to http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Missouri/Localities/S/Saint_Louis/Business_and_Economy/Services/
Guest mauribart Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Hi, Thanks for the advice. Do you think it would be better to resubmit to the other category at this point, or to just wait and hope the editor reviews it soon and places it in the other category? Thanks for your suggestions.
Meta kokopeli Posted May 27, 2003 Meta Posted May 27, 2003 I just moved it to http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Missouri/Localities/S/Saint_Louis/Business_and_Economy/Services/, no need to resubmit <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> [edited to add] To clarify, I moved it to unreviewed, I did not actually list the site.
Guest mauribart Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Thanks for doing that for me. Does that mean that the submission date gets set to today's date? I'm just wondering how long to expect before it's reviewed. Thanks again.
Meta kokopeli Posted May 27, 2003 Meta Posted May 27, 2003 There are too many variables to say when it would be reviewed, but as for the date it does not get reset as I moved the complete submission. The date may or may not matter, as it depends on how the sites are sorted by the editor. It is waiting with around a dozen other sites.
Guest mauribart Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Okay, thanks kokopeli. I appreciate your help.
