Hi!

 

While searching:

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Visual_Arts/Galleries/North_America/United_States/Oregon/

 

 

I encountered the following issue I wanted to bring to your attention:

 

 

Stealth Hijack. Clicking the main gallery link in the center of the page takes you to a pay-per-click page. Clicking other links from the main page takes you to a webhosting companies site.

 

- Located in The Dalles Oregon offering bronzes, original paintings, and limited editition prints.

Hi!

 

While searching:

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Arts_and_Entertainment/Photography/Photographers/Wedding_and_Events/North_America/United_States/Oregon/

 

I encountered the following issues I wanted to bring to your attention.

 

 

Parking Page

 

- Wedding Photojournalism in Portland, Oregon.

 

 

Incorrect Category Message on landing page states the photographer is Washington DC based. He must have moved.

 

- Wedding, portrait, and commercial photographer. Portfolio of work. Portland Oregon

 

 

Deceptive Link. Primarily a webdesign/hosting company. Presented itself for ODP submission as a photographer and not long after being listed, what do you know but it began advertising webdesign/webhosting/IT services (see WayBack links below). A server side script presents different index pages per browser request. To see what I mean, click the title link and when you hit the landing page, refresh your browser 5 or 6 times.

 

- Wedding & portrait photographer. Portfolio of work. Located in Oregon

 

 

Wayback from Feb 05, 2005. Strictly presenting itself as a photographers site
.

 

 

 

WayBack next looked at this site April 23, 2006 and it is a webdesign/webhost/IT consulting site that also does some photography.

 

 

WayBack shows that the site was not yet added into this category as of OCt 21, 2004.

 

 

For whatever reason, WayBack didn't look at this ODP category again until Jan 28, 2006 at which point this site had been listed.

#3334 done (well, I posted your remarks about Todd Derek Photography in our internal forums for further review. It will be dealt with from there.)

 

Thanks a lot for pointing out so many quality control issues! Greatly appreciated.

Hi!

 

While searching:

 

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Oregon/Localities/B/Bend/News_and_Media/

 

URL Changed/Possible Dead Link. I'm not sure exactly how to describe this. All of his links on the left menubar point to his new site BendMagazine. At the moment, all those links are dead. Other links on the landing page point to his other sites.

 

- City magazine with links to local businesses, attractions, shopping, and resources.
