The maritime company <Strintzis> has been renamed to <Blue Star Ferries> and the above URL is used as just an affiliate service. The old website of Strintzis was http://www.strintzis.gr but now it is available at http://www.bluestarferries.gr/

The same with #2 happens here...

4. http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Albania/Localities/Durres/Transportation/

Site: http://www.ferries.gr/ventouris/bari-durres.htm

The official website of <Ventouris Lines> with this information related to Albania is available at http://www.ventouris.gr/italy_albania.html. The site ferries.gr is just an affiliate/reseller.

5. Category: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Greece/Transportation/Maritime/Sea_Lines/Ferries/

Site: http://www.ferries.gr/

The site belongs to a local travel agent, located in a Greek island and is NOT a maritime company or owns any ferries.

FYI the site http://www.ferries.gr is spamming ODP in order to take advantage of the search engines and has succeeded indeed for the last few years... I hope you will do something to prevent this from happening again by the same travel agent. Thank you.

1. Category: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Greece/Travel_and_Tourism/Travel_Guides/

Site: http://web.inter.nl.net/users/SAILING_Greece/greek.html

The site is a mirror of http://www.sailingissues.com.

2. Category: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Greece/Recreation_and_Sports/Boating/

Site: http://www.sailingissues.com

The title of the site should be <SailingIssues> without the keyword Greece as you read on the home page.

As you can see at http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=sailingissues.com this site has also 3 other deep links listed, so please verify them as well.

Sample site listed

In this category http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Thailand/Provinces/Bangkok/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/

The site

Thai Condos - Offers condominiums and apartments for rent and sale.

Is a sample site, it says in the homepage of the page.

Is it appropriate to list site without content like this one?

Cheers,

Surely this cannot be right?

Recipes are frequently deeplinked.

Recipes are frequently deeplinked.

Why?

andysands · June 19, 2005

Because Home/Cooking is a collection of links to recipes organised by type of recipe. This often necessitates deeplinking - as many websites containing recipes are not specifically about 1 type of recipe.

Seems a strange thing to have and a waste of resources. What you end up having are categories which are just site maps for the sites listed.

Would make more sense to just place sites like this in

Top: Home: Cooking: Recipe Collections

At the time that seemed like a good idea -- site maps for reference-type sources were more common than they are now. Some site maps aren't likely (IMO) ever to go away (Catholic Encyclopedia). Others may yet go. But currently we're still deeplinking recipes, both for old sites and for new sites that provide unique recipes.
