Hi,

 

I´m looking for the category:

 

Top : Regional : Middle East : Israel : Localities : Jerusalem : Travel and Tourism : Lodging : Vacation Rentals (10)

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Israel/Localities/Jerusalem/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Vacation_Rentals/

 

that there are 10 listings. At least 30% are SPAM and sites with pop-ups, not contact information, not real names, and more.

 

Here some Examples:

 

* The website listed as "Jerusalem Apartments" has to be called "rooms in jerusalem" like the name of their url (I also think this website is not qualified to be in DMOZ) - The code for the report abuse/spam I received from DMOZ is 44134c402d6aadd995628cbaf91a6f

60

 

* The website listed as "Jerusalem Bed and Breakfast" is not working at all

 

* The one listed as "Rent Apartments in Jerusalem" is a free page from tripod with no information, no contact, not qualified, it just have a few links to a hotel in Jerusalem.

 

Also there are websites from real companies who invested thousands of Dollars and they are not here.

 

Someone can help, please?

 

Thanks!

The title used is correct according to DMOZ guidelines. I also see no reason why this site should not be listed.
