Guest Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 Hi, I submitted a change of url from thewirelessboys.com to thewirelessboysonline.com last month.. Can anyone tell me the status of the change???? I see it hasnt been changed yet but if you could provide any information, I would be very greatful!!! PS I have no editor in my category It is in Top: Shopping: Consumer Electronics: Communications: Wireless: Cellular Phones: Accessories: W Thanks!!!!
Meta hutcheson Posted July 28, 2002 Meta Posted July 28, 2002 Typically, we won't change a URL unless the old one doesn't work or points to the new one with a "we're moving" indication. Neither is obviously true here; but since the individual product links on the main page point to the new domain, it's evidently legitimate. So it's done.
Guest Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 Hutcheson, I apologize, I made sure the shop us online with the new website address was on their, but didnt know it was necessary to put the weve moved sign up.. Please accept my apologies! When you say its done, that means you will be able to do it for us? How long will it take to reflect in the dmoz directory? If you are able to do it for us, thank you, thank you and thank you so much!!! I really do appreciate your help!!!
Guest Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 Hutcheson, Keeping fingers crossed, going to push my luck and ask if their is anyway to get the new description entered that was submitted with the change or URL? I know.. I am pushing my luck here. If not, thank you very very much for changing the url... Many thanks for your help and your very quick response!!! Chris
Meta hutcheson Posted July 29, 2002 Meta Posted July 29, 2002 Unlikely. There are some standard transformations I make on descriptions: "sells new widgets", "sells old widgets" -- unchanged "sells old and new widgets" -- to "sells widgets" "sells ace widgets," "sells ace and acme widgets" -- unchanged "sells widgets from all known brand", "sells widgets by ace, acme, bland, cortical, dexter, erato, finnegan, glamour, helical, idiowids, ..." -- "sells widgets" That is, "restrictive descriptions" stay, "elaborative (keyword)lists" don't. I (like the last editor) think the suggested description was more the latter. >>I apologize, I made sure the shop us online with the new website address was on their... It is not you who need to apologize. I looked again....it was there, and I missed it the first time.
Guest Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 Hutcheson, I think what may of made me think it hadnt been changed then is when i do a search for my domain name.. it shows the old domain name... Let me copy and paste this to better explain myself... When I do a search... I find this.. The Wireless Boys - Cellular accessories. -- http://thewirelessboys.com/ Shopping: Consumer Electronics: Communications: Wireless: Cellular Phones: Accessories: W (1) How come it is listing http://thewirelessboys.com? Shouldnt it list http://thewirelessboysonline.com? Am I wrong on that? I think that is what confused me. I am glad you kept the wireless boys as the site title in dmoz seperated like that but would it be possible for the description to have it instead of "cellular accessories" to say "cellular phone accessories" instead? Again thank you very very very much for helping us out. It is very much appreciated! Chris
Meta hutcheson Posted July 29, 2002 Meta Posted July 29, 2002 ODP search will take 3 days to 3 weeks (or more) to be updated. Pay no attention to it anyway; nobody uses it but busy editors and anxious webmasters. And the old URL still works.
Guest Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 Hutcheson, You have been absolutley fantastic in helping us!!! Thank you very much!!! PS I guess I would fit into the category of an anxious webmaster /images/icons/smile.gif
