Both sites have no original content on Greek maps and are deep links. They only provide links to another site for each map.

 

 

May I also ask for your comments about my previous posts #1330 and #1331?

#1340 - agreed something odd going on there. I've removed it from the public directory anyway - since it clearly isn't the same business that was listed before.

 

#1341 - done

hi,

 

site name : The Fun Factory

 

URL : http://www.the-fun-factory.com/

 

Category : http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Spain/Autonomous_Communities/Canary_Islands/Lanzarote/Arts_and_Entertainment/Clubs_and_Venues/

 

 

The site is about real estate, nothing to do with clubs and venues.

Hi Darkish

 

re: #1356

 

That looks like a hijack - the domain name appears to have been taken over by www dot lanzarote-properties dot com

 

I've removed it :-)

 

Thanks

Site: Animal Free Cosmetics

 

I searched for the word animal free,

and i found it in their product desctiption...

The site gets redirected.. so perhaps pointing to their

Broken Link

 

Hello. I just submitted a website and noticed a broken link for a company with a similar name as ours.

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Mortgages/Regional/United_States/Arizona/

 

The link is Acacia National Mortgage Corp. which points to the following broken URL: http://www.quikstart.com/loans

 

To the best of my knowledge this is a separate entity from us, as I am not familiar with the website address.

 

I just wanted to report this for two reasons:

 

1. Obviously it is a broken url.

2. I was afraid there might be some confusion by an editor

when processing my recent submission for Acacia Mortgage Corporation.

 

Thanks and regards.
