Guest dhaliwal Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Casual/T-Shirts/Art/ I believe I submitted here twice, and that the issue is that there is no editor for that category. However, it is possible I submitted to other places, as well. This is where I would prefer to have it. I am an editor for a couple sections, and have not seen any movement on this. I do have it in my bookmarks, and will happily remove it if that is a problem!
John_Caius Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 If it's a site that you are affiliated with then you should have it in your bookmarks. If you look at the editor notes on the site in your bookmarks then you'll see whether it's been touched or not.
Guest dhaliwal Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 I have looked in my bookmarks and there appears to be no action taken on the URL.
Meta kokopeli Posted June 2, 2003 Meta Posted June 2, 2003 It is still there, as John mentioned...you could tell if anything had been done with it by looking at the editor notes.
Guest acropelius Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 My guess is that the listing will be denied for not having unique/original content! Site is Cafeshops.com. You also have mail.
Guest dhaliwal Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 I'm interested in what you said about original content, and would like to offer a comparison and ask your opinion. Let's say a site is coded by the owner, has a unique URL, is hosted on his/her server, uses PayPal for transactions and only sells products that are drop shipped from third party companies. The owner of the site never touches the product, handles transactions or ships the product. S/he only manages the site. Would that constitute original content? I ask because this would be the same model I use with CafePress. They manufacture, ship and handle transactions. I, on the other hand, manage my own site from top to bottom. I market it separately, provide links to my e-mail and my address, pay for the hosting separately, etc. In my web site model, CP serves both as my transaction company (like PayPal above) and my drop-shipper. Additionally, I do not seek to have my CP-hosted pages listed in DMOZ, only the URL I manage. Unless someone else requests its inclusion or an editori likes on of my CP-hosted products, there would be no duplicate content. When put this way, is art-tees an original content site? <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
dfy Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 >> I do not seek to have my CP-hosted pages listed in DMOZ, only the URL I manage << One of your other sites (mydogmurphy.com) is already listed in Shopping/Clothing/Casual/T-Shirts/, and most of the content from art-tees.com can be found there. When put that way, art-tees is clearly not an original content site.
Guest dhaliwal Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 That is an excellent point! Will probably take the American art off MDM, but not the crate labels and posters. Hmmmmm. Now for a total rethink of the concept!
