Tigermanz Posted November 6, 2003 Author Posted November 6, 2003 Can anyone show any light on the Situation of our Rimba domain ? Thanks
brmehlman Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 While the tricks you're using to show one thing to spiders and another to users don't bother us in and of themselves, they seem to be making it difficult to navigate your site with some browsers. At least two editors have had enough trouble that they weren't able to review it. Nevertheless it (the real url) is still awaiting review in the lingerie category. When an editor with a browser it's compatible with happens along, it will no doubt be reviewed. The backlog in the category is only moderate, but because of the browser compatibility issues it might not be a bad idea to wait several months between status requests.
Guest Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 While the tricks you're using to show one thing to spiders and another to users don't bother us in and of themselves Well, if that's going on, what's going to convince us that you'll show the same content to ODP editors that Google or AOL visitors will see? It's a common trick, try to fool the editors with one page that doesn't show up when you look through Google for the same site.
brmehlman Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 I suppose I should clarify what I mean by "tricks ... don't bother us". The hidden text in this site, an article on the origins and history of fetishes with a bunch of underwear related keywords randomly interspersed, is not grounds for not listing the site. We list or not, and describe, based on what the user sees, not what the spiders see. But kctipton is quite right, such tricks arouse suspicion. If you're trying to fool Google, you might very well try to fool us too. When I see something like this on a site I'm reviewing, I review the site very carefully. And I make a note to myself to review it again an unspecified amount of time later.
Tigermanz Posted November 8, 2003 Author Posted November 8, 2003 I appreciate both your comments. I myself am not a web site designer or optomiser, but an owner and product seller. We commissioned a third party to build this site, and I would also welcome any future checks after review as we have nothing to hide. All we ask is a non biased relevant review. No "Tricks" are intended. We would appreciate the "Real URL" being reviewed and I will investigate how to transfer the other URL to point to the site directly. If you check Whois you will see the same person (Me) own them both, so no foul play is intended. Again Thank you for your help and comments as your experience is a valuable asset and you have pointed out a few points that I never would have known existed.

Meta Jezebel Posted January 5, 2004 Meta Posted January 5, 2004 Rimba was listed almost a month ago in the category you stated. VideoShack is still waiting for review.
Tigermanz Posted January 5, 2004 Author Posted January 5, 2004 Rimba, Great. Thanks for your help. Fingers crosses for Videoshack.co.uk Another Happy Webmaster.

Tigermanz Posted March 13, 2004 Author Posted March 13, 2004 This thread seems to have droped down the list a bit without any reply. Can anyone advise on the previous request? Thanks Tigermanz
Meta Jezebel Posted March 15, 2004 Meta Posted March 15, 2004 It's still waiting I'm afraid. There's a bit of a backlog in that category so you may be better off setting yourself a reminder to come and ask every 3 months rather than every month.
Tigermanz Posted March 15, 2004 Author Posted March 15, 2004 It is taking quite a while to get listed in this catagory. We are nearing our 1st Year Anniversary with this submission. Can anyone up the ladder (EditAll etc) not do anything with this category to help clear the backlog up a little? I know that you have a lot of other categories to tidy and clean up and it was just a thought. (Is the volunteer Category editor still logging in?) Thanks for your help. I will sit back and wait as usual, Tigermanz
Meta windharp Posted March 15, 2004 Meta Posted March 15, 2004 We do not process any requests for review posted in this forum. If we did, we could close it down in some weeks time. This is not the only backlogged category in the directory that would need help and editors are free to do whatever they like. If that does not include editing in this category - sorry, but there is no way to speed it up. Curlie Meta/kMeta Editor windharp
Tigermanz Posted April 12, 2004 Author Posted April 12, 2004 Update Please For VideoShack.co.uk Can I please have an Update please for 1 URL. http://www.videoshack.co.uk Submitted to: http://dmoz.org/Adult/Shopping/Videos_and_DVDs/ I noticed that the category has now been sub-divided into Alphabetical Order. As I submitted before this category adjustment will this cause a listing problem? Thanks

Meta Jezebel Posted May 16, 2004 Meta Posted May 16, 2004 It' still waiting. The fact that there's now an alphabet bar isn't going to make any difference to your submission. Someone will just come along and list the site (assuming it's list-able) in the V sub-cat.
