Guest Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 The Site was submitted a months ago to : Top: Regional: Europe: United Kingdom: England: Lancashire: Blackpool: Travel and Tourism: Accommodation: Self Catering Thanks in advance
giz Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Re: http://www.beetonvillas.co.uk/ It helps the editors if you can provide clickable links like: http://www.beetonvillas.co.uk/ and http://Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Lancashire/Blackpool/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/Self_Catering. Looking at the notes, your site has not been touched by an editor; that is, it has not been reviewed yet, neither has it been deleted, or added to the listings. I cannot see into the unreviewed queue for that category, so I cannot advise how many other sites are also waiting. I think there is some detailed work going on in some nearby cats as a result of the thread at: http://www.resource-zone.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=submissions&Number=2475 which did not show submitters on their best behaviour.
Guest just_browsing Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Made me smile seeing our old friend Adolph back. I quote from one of my own entries in that threadAdolf's English seems to be improving! Anyway "Adolf's" URL is owned by one Alan McPhee who also owns blackpoolseach.com and Northdene Holiday Flats and blackpoolbreaks.net, and Alba Media (all in the public and available at Whois) And would you believe it this site www.beetonvillas.co.uk is one of Alba Media's sites. Welcome back Alan <img src="/images/icons/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Meta jazz Posted August 28, 2002 Meta Posted August 28, 2002 Re: http://www.beetonvillas.co.uk/ The clickable link is http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Lancashire/Blackpool/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/Self_Catering/ ... Missing a few things in that first one... :-)
Guest Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Yes designed by alba media so what ? I Have submited since you the editor (doug smith) i have email you regarding my site but no reply.
Guest Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 First you are correct that it matters not a jot who designs the site. Neverthe less it looks to me like a sub site of blackpoolbreaks.net. Wouldn't it be easier just to have one site correctly listed in the ODP (with all the internal links), and creating the other sites purely for search engines?
Guest just_browsing Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 I Have submited since you the editor (doug smith) i have email you regarding my site but no reply.Alan, I took a look at the category, and the first editor listed is in the higher Lancashire category http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Lancashire/ As that editor is a lady with no connections with Blackpool hotels (more into Koi Carp), it is not surprising that you got no response from emailing Doug Smith
Guest Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 nooooo! http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Lancashire/Blackpool/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/Self_Catering/ Doug Dont Confuse People! I Emailed you on 05 05 2002 Iam Here To Check satus i have a reply from the staff. posting 1000000 Reply will not result to be editor again. if that what you on about good luck!.
Guest just_browsing Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Alan To find the DMOZ editor to email, you look in the category that you are trying to submit to, and at the bottom of the category you will discover if there is an editor. In your case http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Lancashire/Blackpool/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/Self_Catering/ This category has no editor, so you try the next category up the tree, and keep going till you find an editor http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Lancashire/Blackpool/Travel_and_Tourism/Accommodation/ http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Lancashire/Blackpool/Travel_and_Tourism/ http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Lancashire/Blackpool/ http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Lancashire/ And here you find the editor http://dmoz.org/profiles/sharis.html Given the evident problems, spam and general bad feeling in the Blackpool categories, it is perhaps not surprising that there is no queue of aspiring editors there.
Meta hutcheson Posted August 28, 2002 Meta Posted August 28, 2002 You might try posting in the "other languages" forum, where you may find an editor that understands your native language.
Guest just_browsing Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 You might try posting in the "other languages" forum, where you may find an editor that understands your native language I believe that Alan communicates via an extremely localised, somewhat specialised, English dialect found in certain parts of Blackpool. It does not really have a wide enough following to warrant its own forum.
giz Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Re: http://www.beetonvillas.co.uk/ Apologies for the >> dmoz.org/ << missing from the link. I have no idea what went wrong in the copy and paste action. I'll watch out for that in the future. I usually click on the link to make sure it works, while previewing the message, but typically this must be the one that I forgot to do that on. <img src="/images/icons/blush.gif" alt="" />
totalxsive Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 I have two friends from Blackpool, and they both seem to speak the same language as I do...
