Guest Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 After months of trying to get Virginia Estates in this category: http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Virginia/Localities/C/Charlottesville/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/ It was recommended that I try the agents category instead: http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Virginia/Localities/C/Charlottesville/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/Agents/ Can anyone give me a status of getting listed in the latter section? thank you!
Meta hutcheson Posted August 27, 2002 Meta Posted August 27, 2002 It's been listed since 2000. That doesn't seem to have slowed the submission rate at all. Did you hire one of those sleazy promoters who promise to "submit your site every month to two bazillion search engines?" And did you realize that (by ODP submittal guidelines) that could cause the site to be removed permanently, just for harassing the editors? If you have a trained monkey doing the automatic-submittal bit, please stop him. If someone was not seeing the site because they were looking on the wrong copy of the ODP, http://dmoz.org/ is the most up-to-date, but ODP search is not necessarily up-to-date. (This really isn't relevant for a 2-year-old listing, though.) The ODP has strict rules for titles of real estate sites, but you should still have been able to find the agen't listing through Google search on the real-estate-agent-name, any time for the last 30 months or so, and it would have pointed back to the proper category.
Meta jazz Posted August 28, 2002 Meta Posted August 28, 2002 Just a refresher for real start of thread... http://www.resource-zone.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=status&Number=6290&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 Always better to continue in one thread so everyone has context.
