elbavaro Posted January 24, 2004 Author Posted January 24, 2004 Any news on the status ? I have a question about the section of dmoz.org where I submitted my site to, perhaps somebody from the editors might be able to answer. I am waiting with www.alicante-spain.com for more than 7 months, only to be looked at for inclusion into dmoz.org. Obvouisly I commited the error to submit it into an "editor-less" area. Is it possible or against the rules, to submit the domain into a different section of dmoz.org for revision? Or is there any other way to get included. I know nobody has the right to ask for inclusion, as this is a free directory. I just wonder if submitted to a different subdirectory, at least an editor would have a look at it? I would be grateful if somebody could help me on this. Thanks a lot in advance.
Meta nea Posted January 24, 2004 Meta Posted January 24, 2004 We ask that you leave at least a month between status requests, as per the forum guidelines. I'll answer your other question, though: There is no such thing as an editorless category. The vast majority of categories do not have a named editor, and they are still being edited. The reason is that every editor higher up in the category tree (Regional/Europe/Spain/Autonomous_Communities/Valencian_Community/, Regional/Europe/Spain/Autonomous_Communities/, Regional/Europe/Spain/ etc) can edit every category lower down in the tree. In addition, there are a couple of hundred editors who are able to edit anywhere in the directory. This means that there is no other category you can submit to to make it more likely for an editor to look at your site. On the other hand, if you do submit to a category that is not a good fit, the editor who finds it there will not review your site, but move it to the catyegory you should have submitted to in the first place. We cannot say this often enough: you do yourself a serious disservice by not submitting to the best category for your site! Forget the number of editors listed for the category. It is possible that in a category with four listed editors two prefer to work in other areas of the directory, one just had a baby and has no time to edit and the fourth is involved in cleaning up spam rather than reviewing submissions. Honestly, the only thing you can do is to be patient. We're not saying that is fun, or that it feels meaningful, but there is really nothing else you can do, apart from working to improve your web site. Curlie Meta and kMeta editor nea
