Item #1570 now done :)

 

Item #1557 done - NB: Most of those webrings were working okay - you have to have adult content enabled on your webring profile in order to view them though.

Top: Games: Gambling: Sports: Tipping and Handicapping: Soccer

 

http://www.beto.com/ - Under construction for almost a year

 

http://www.english-football-betting.com/ - I could not find anything usefull. All pages of this site are not working or have some php problems for some time...but anchor at DMOZ is really great for Google :-)

 

http://www.footballbrain.net/ - not working for some time

 

http://globetting.com/ - this site is now redirected to bettingexperts.com. It was great site once

 

http://www.kuntzean.com/ - now porno site

 

http://www.soccer-cafe.com/ - I would also like to know what this site is now, but definetely is not what it is written here.

 

SoccerClue - moved to new link (without comment about quality)

 

http://www.ken-higham.supanet.com/ - also out of action for some time

 

http://www.bahisklavuz.com/ - not english anymore...just turkish I think

 

So 9 of 29 are bad links, which is around 30%

 

Also, you should check some of other links as quality is really doubtfull. I am trying to list my site for some time, and since I am in this business, I can tell you for sure that there is at least 20 sites 10 class better then half of your listed once.

There may be differences between what ODP classifies as adult content and what webring does.

 

Although I note that our adult guidelines:

http://dmoz.org/guidelines/adult/general.html

include the following as being adult content:

 

Sites which have sexually explicit personal advertisements or message boards

 

So you may well have a point. I'll flag the category to our internal forums for someone with greater knowledge of that area to look at.

Thank you all for your hard work to deal with my reports so far.

 

A reminder that I still haven't seen any action on #1385 (related posts are #1398, #1399, #1400, #1421, #1422) to deal with what I considered as "spammer". I can still see all its core travel listings online and I didn't find any update about your decision.

 

IMO having an internet company submitting many travel sites to ODP and advertise its sites' search engine placements is indicating that this company is well aware of ODP guidelines and should be considered a spammer.

 

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

 

Something else I noticed:

 

After my report #1439 an editor changed the URL http://www.naturism-greece.com to http://www.west-crete.com/naturism-nudism-crete.htm at http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Greece/Travel_and_Tourism/Travel_Guides/ . I think it was wrong as this is definitely not a travel guide for Greece. It's a local one for naturism in Crete so it should be deleted from that category.

#1586 - I agree with you about the west-crete deep link, which I just removed before reading your post. (I was following up #1439).

 

re #1439 I cannot find that west-crete and sfakia-crete are of the same company. However the latter's deep links did need review, so thanks for pointing it out.

#1583 dealt with now, thanks. The first site you mentioned is live, but needed review, so thanks for drawing attention to it. The content had clearly changed since it was listed.

#1594 - I'm not sure that I agree with you. Mediterranean Traditional Mansions is a voluntary association. That's a bit different from a typical lodging guide. A quick look at the other two again suggests some ownership/control relationship with the properties. Perhaps another editor more familiar with the minefield of accommodation might disagree, but for the moment, I'm leaving things as they are.
