Guest Posted August 1, 2002 Posted August 1, 2002 Hi, We submitted http://facegum.com/ on 4.24.02 to http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Beauty/Skin_Care/Anti-Aging/ Totalxive checked it was still in the cue on 6.09.02 and I'm sure you are all still submerged... but I would appreciate another check - also to make sure it hasn't slipped into a different cat. The ladies will soon need to repair their sun damaged faces../images/icons/cool.gif..with our discovery! Thanks very much. "facegum" Andrea Abbott Cosmetics
beebware Posted August 1, 2002 Posted August 1, 2002 The site was deleted from unreviewed on 03/Jul/2002 - no further information available (plus I try and stay away from the Shopping/ branch myself as I just don't like it).
Guest Posted August 1, 2002 Posted August 1, 2002 Thanks for checking. Oh. That is bad news. I was having a general discussion about the site with hutcheson in "submissions" at that time, and things appeared to be OK. I would very much like to know what to do about this. I have no idea what was deemed wrong with the site. Resubmitting the same thing does not seem practical.... Thanks to anyone. facegum
beebware Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 To be honest with you, I've got no idea myself. As I said, I try and avoid editing in the Shopping/ branch so (even as editall) I'm not 'too' up with the specific guidelines there. [added: actually, I've had an idea of something to check - but it'll have to wait until later today as the ODP is currently unavailable to editors for technical reasons]
totalxsive Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 I have no idea either, though I'm in the same boat as beebware here. I'd talk to a meta if I were you (if you aren't talking to one already).
old_crone Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 This is only a guess but your site may have been removed because the main company is http://www.andreaabbott.com/ and probably should have been submitted instead of http://facegum.com/.
Guest Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Thanks to both of you for checking. I'm a bit lost /images/icons/crazy.gif about it. Happy to make changes if I knew where to start. I will email the meta above and look forward to anyone's suggestions. facegum
Guest Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Hi Crone, I see what you mean. Actually the "main" site and other supporting site (keracell.com) about our technologies are not intended for most visitors (very few follow the links there now) but for possible business partners or the inquisitive. We're a one product small business, so getting the product information seen is our priority. Perhaps my layout could have been better. I notice that http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Beauty/Skin_Care/Treatments/ has rather more "product" vs "company" listings and is also appropriate? facegum
old_crone Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Sorry, but I really can't help you. I'm not an editor at the ODP. As I said, it's only a guess, the editor who removed it is the only one that can answer for his/her decision to remove your site. You might want to try getting advice from the Submissions forum about which site is appropriate (according to the ODP) to list.
Guest Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Thanks very much Crone...I had a brief discussion about it on the submissions forum some weeks ago...(07/04/02). It seems to be an individual editor's choice, possibly in some context. Hopefully, we'll learn. /images/icons/smile.gif facegum
Guest Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 I thought this idea was worth a discussion in the submissions forum...so started one. /images/icons/cool.gif Thanks for the thought. facegum
Guest Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 Resolution! Thank you everyone for your interest and ideas. As suggested, I began a discussion with a meta who also provided several good ideas for the site. And got it listed. Ahhh. The cause of the removal from the cue was not learned, however there was some confusion about the role of my other sites (company vs product) and whether there was repetition of content - so this was likely the impression given to the previous editor (who was probably working at the speed of light....). Best facegum
totalxsive Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 Glad to hear everything's okay. /images/icons/smile.gif
