TareeInternet Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 I realise this is way outside the scope of your question, but hope it will explain how sites are categorised. Maybe a bit outside the scope of things, but still an excellent post. This is the sort of thing i feel could go up on a page over at Dmoz to assist with both submitters/suggesters and people browsing the directory for Locality listings. I know all the places in the locality (i've lived here for 30 years) however still found the arrangement a bit perplexing. Partially because... Since you point at a specific category http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania...er_Taree_City/ lets go into the Localities sub category This points to the existing categories within the Municipality Localities (0) However when clicking it your presented with 48 Locality @link's, i honestly would of never clicked that link assuming there was nothing there... However yes i do get it now. That's why i think your post would make a good page on Dmoz as i bet there would be alot of people like myself. Seriously thats one of the best ways you can help with the directory as a non-editor. I'll certainly do this, i though about listing a few now but would rather gather all the listable sites in one go as i'm likely to forget what i've submitted and havn't if i do them here and there. I'll even list my competitors too, it's not like i "must have" a listing or my cat will leave me along with my partner but would be good to be seen as worthy of being listed. I actually help alot of my competitors out offline, little ol me in Taree ranks top 25 for "SEO" and top 5 for things like "SEO Company" & "Internet Design Company" and a swag of other big things. So.. Listing for: PR or Rankings = Couldn't care less Listing for: Someone likes what i do = Priceless Actually i do that much free stuff for people i could probably submit under Charities Sorry Gimmster, it sounded right with the "r" in there BTW i read Crowbar no longer edits, he was really helpful last time i popped in.
crowbar Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 But still hanging out as a non editor, . I left on good terms and was asked to come back. As an ex-editor, I have nothing but good things to say about the Directory and everybody who edits there, .

It was a shock when i read you were no longer involved with the project, because as i remember you edited for many years. Good to see you're still about.
crowbar Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 My heart wasn't into editing much anymore. I ended up doing more talking than editing, so I figured the only way to shut myself up was to take a break until I could get myself refocused on the job of editing. I'm easily distracted, .
TareeInternet Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 Just wondering if any database failures, technical glitches etc between when i started this thread in May 07 and now would of resulted in my site being removed from the consideration list? If not i assume, forget about it your never going to be listed. Thanks.
jimnoble Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 There have been no major technical failures resulting in data loss since late 2006. If not i assume, forget about it your never going to be listed. If you base your marketing plans on that assumption, any eventual listing here will be a nice bonus .

Yes being recognized by a listing would be a bonus, however easy come easy go..
