Hi!

 

While searching:

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Idaho/Localities/B/Boise/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/Commercial/

 

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

 

Duplicate Entry. Message on landing page also indicates the URL has changed but the company already has an entry in this category.

 

- Offers commercial real estate services. Information covers listings, capabilities, affiliations, and company profile.

 

 

Regards,

NCMan

Hi!

 

While searching:

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Idaho/Localities/B/Boise/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/Residential/Agencies/

 

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

 

Unable to View. Perhaps I need to tweek a few settings on my new PC but I can't view this site from Firefox/Opera/IE7.

 

- Provides complete source of real estate information for the Boise metropolitan area.

 

 

Hijacked Link. Hijacked to a pay-per-click site. In an attempt to disguise it's true purpose, the site provides generic yet useless text in-between the pay-per-click ads. The pages don't render properly either.

 

- A full service realty in Boise, ID.

Hi!

 

While searching:

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Idaho/Localities/B/Boise/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/Residential/Agents/

 

 

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

 

 

Parking Page. Page parked at a webhost company site.

 

- Offers real estate services and homes for sale in Boise, Meridian, and Eagle. Includes property listings, agent profile and community information.

 

URL Changed. Landing page gets a Page Not Found error but you are redirected to the correct landing page.

 

. - Real estate services and homes for sale in Boise, Eagle, and Meridian. Includes property listings, agent profile and community information.

 

 

Potential Dead Link. It was dead when I checked it.

 

- Selling in Boise, Idaho, Meridian, Idaho, Star, and Eagle. Specializing in resale and new construction. Includes property listings, agent profile and community information.

 

 

Hijacked Link. It's actually been hijacked more than once.

 

- Century 21 First Place Realty - Real estate and homes for sale in the city and surrounding areas of Boise Idaho.

 

 

Wayback Jan 2002
is the last archived reference to Dan and Sharon Flanagan

 

 

 

Wayback Mar 2002
shows a site for Garret Longstreet and Shawn Owens realtors.

 

 

 

Wayback Dec 2002
shows essentially the same site but with all agent names and all agency names removed.

 

 

 

Wayback Dec 2003
shows a new team of realtors from ReMax.

 

 

 

Hijacked Link. Link hijacked to a different realtors site with a different agency.

 

- View real estate listings of homes and land for sale in Boise, realtor biography, and guides to buying and selling.

 

 

Duplicate Entry. One of these should be deleted as a duplicate.

 

- Offers real estate services and homes for sale in Boise, Meridian, and Eagle. Includes property listings, agent profile and area photographs.

 

- Features homes and property for sale from Boise to Idaho City.

 

 

Site Focus/Name Changed. This is now a real estate investment company site owned by Mr. Manwaring. is this still the best category?

 

- Serving the Boise area.

 

 

Incorrect Category. The category is Boise, Idaho but the entry description says Kansas City and the landing page says it's a Missouri company.

 

- Realtor focusing on the general Kansas City market with over 30 years experience in residential and commercial real estate and construction.

Hi!

 

While searching:

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Idaho/Localities/B/Boise/Business_and_Economy/Financial_Services/

 

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

 

 

Title Changed. New name per profile->credit union history page is "TruGrocer Federal Credit Union"

 

- Branches in Boise, Los Angeles, and Orlando. Newsletter, membership form, and information about services.

 

 

Title Changed. New name per about us page is "Idaho Advantage Credit Union"

 

- Credit Union serving employees of US West.

 

 

Name and URL Changed. I'm not sure what these guys are trying to do but they redirect to a different URL which seems to be some sort of course calendar page and from there, provide a link to their home page all of which have different names from the original title name and title URL.

 

- Provides workshops about money management. Newsletters, information about speakers, and savings tips.

NCMan

Hi!

 

While searching:

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Idaho/Localities/B/Boise/Business_and_Economy/Marine_Sales_and_Services/

 

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

 

 

Incorrect Category. Current category is marine products but I suspect this is better located in "Business to Business" as the subject docks appear to be warehouse loading docks rather than boat docks.

 

- Sells dock bumpers. Product information and online ordering.

@NCMan

Is this ok or, do you prefer that all new Urls be provided?
Having new URLs provided (especially for those sometimes difficult to locate school websites) is a bonus for us, and certainly not a necessity on your part.

 

We just appreciate all of your help. The care that you take in formatting requests and the extra information that is sometimes provided, makes processing them an easy task :)

Hua Hin

 

In

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thailand/Provinces/Prachuap_Khiri_Khan/Hua_Hin/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/

 

Anchana Resort and Spa - way too much hype and redundancy in desc.

 

Baan Sansaran Condo - server not found.

 

Baan Thai Resort - site under construction.

 

Hua Hin Hotels - is owned by Royal Exclusive Travel, which has a 2nd listing under the url of http://www.burma-travels.com/ , in the following category: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Myanmar/Travel_and_Tourism/Travel_Services/Tour_Operators/

 

Jinning Beach Guest House - server not found.

 

New Luxury Villas for Rent in Hua Hin - owned by the same company as Hua Hin Villas, listed above in this category.

 

Ocean Breeze Residence - do half of the words in the desc. have to be capped?

 

Thipurai City Hotel - server not found.

 

Villa Hua Hin - redirects to http://www.siamcruise.com/

 

Wora Bura Resort and Spa - under construction.

---------------------------------------

 

There seems to be an over-abundance of the words: new/newly, luxury/deluxe, and beautiful in this category.

Re 3611 and comment in 3638, the most prominent banner at the upper left of the site matches the listing title so I left it as is.

 

I apologize for not pointing that out in my "done" note.

Re 3611 and comment in 3638, the most prominent banner at the upper left of the site matches the listing title so I left it as is.

ok, but its a short name of company name. IMHO Dmoz should use legal company name. They have a bank account with full company name at searchenginemarketinglead.com/wire-transfer.html

 

What you think? Please correct me if I am wrong.
