dregna Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Hello, Just wondering the status of my site. I dont quite remember the category I submitted to, but I think it might be the following. http://dmoz.org/Business/Energy_and_Environment/Renewable/Solar/Electric/Consumer_Items,_Gadgets_and_Toys/ Thanks ahead for any replies.
Meta windharp Posted November 7, 2003 Meta Posted November 7, 2003 Looks like you didn't remember good enough: It is not waiting in the category you named and it was not touched by an editor yet. So I have no chance to know where to look any further, sorry. Curlie Meta/kMeta Editor windharp
dregna Posted November 18, 2003 Author Posted November 18, 2003 Sorry about that...I believe this is the correct category: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Home_and_Garden/Kitchen_and_Dining/Gadgets/ Thanks ahead of time for any replies. Dregna http://www.cgadgets.net
thehelper Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 Nope, not in there either. Your site has not been touched by an editor and is not in either of the unreviewed queues you mentioned. You should resubmit.
dregna Posted February 6, 2004 Author Posted February 6, 2004 Hello, I went ahead as requested and resubmitted www.cgadgets.net to the directory. I was hoping you could let me know where the site stands. Following is the category I submitted to: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/C/ Thanks alot, Dregna
dregna Posted February 10, 2004 Author Posted February 10, 2004 Hello, I was just checking out the category which I submitted to: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/C/ and noticed a faulty link: (http://cheaper-than-retail.com/). Maybe you could boot them and slide our site right in dregna http://www.cgadgets.net
thehelper Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 You can report all those dead links in the Abuse forum Hijack thread. That would be much appreciated and is a positive activity to do while waiting. I took care of the dead link you reported - Thanks!
dregna Posted February 10, 2004 Author Posted February 10, 2004 Not a problem, I'll be sure to report any other dead links. As for my initial question, any news regarding my submission? I'm pretty sure that this category fits our site just right, what do you think? Thanks ahead for any replies... dregna http://www.cgadgets.net
Meta nea Posted February 10, 2004 Meta Posted February 10, 2004 You are waiting for review in that category - no need to resubmit again. Curlie Meta and kMeta editor nea
dregna Posted March 16, 2004 Author Posted March 16, 2004 Hello, I've decided to move the Convenient Gadgets website from http://www.cgadgets.net (which was the url submitted to odp) to http://www.convenientgadgets.com. Does this mean I should re-submit with the new domain name? Thanks ahead for any replies... Dan Regna
dregna Posted March 16, 2004 Author Posted March 16, 2004 Any idea on this? Hopefully there is no need to re-submit since the URL has changed, please let me know...thanks.
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted March 16, 2004 Editall/Catmv Posted March 16, 2004 Any idea on this? Hopefully there is no need to re-submit since the URL has changed, please let me know...thanks. My advice would be to see where it ends up, but it looks like the new URL is more likely to be listed, if the editor in question looks deeply into the site. If not, a request to change the URL is unlikely to succeed unless you set up a redirect of some sort from http://www.cgadgets.net/ to http://www.convenientgadgets.com (This is based on my understanding of the DMOZ guidelines, and I don't edit in that section of the directory, so I may be wrong.)
dregna Posted March 16, 2004 Author Posted March 16, 2004 Thanks for the reply...Any way you could give me a concrete answer. I would hate to risk having the wrong URL added to the directory. Every link on the http://www.cgadgets.net homepage redirects to http://www.convenientgadgets.com, are you certain this would be enough? Also, could you tell me where my site submission stands, its been a month since my last inquiry. Thank you much.. dregna

dregna Posted March 28, 2004 Author Posted March 28, 2004 Seems like we got a dead or soon to be dead link in the following category: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/C/ Heres the title:CompuServe Store Heres the link: http://store.compuserve.com/stores/gx.cgi/Display4?GSStore=cs&prd_id=-5233&dep_id=0&o_c=CST1&tpl=templates/main Just celebrated one year of being in business. Ever since switching domain names in the hopes of establishing our identity, traffic has swooped to beginning like stages. I never really received a clear response as to wether we should re-submit with our new domain as opposed to the old domain. I've placed a 301 re-direct on the old domain http://www.cgadgets.net that points to the new domain http://www.convenientgadgets.com. Is that enough? Do you think we are submitting to the appropriate category? Thanks for any replies/ dregna Convenient Gadgets
dregna Posted March 28, 2004 Author Posted March 28, 2004 Hey, while your at our site feel free to register to vote if have'nt already done so.
spectregunner Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 The redirect almost always means that one of our automated tools with catch it. Still, you are more than welcome to go to the original category where it is listed, and do a URL Update stating what the old and new domain names are.

Still, you are more than welcome to go to the original category where it is listed, and do a URL Update stating what the old and new domain names are. This response assumes that the submission has been listed correct? I'm fairly certain we are still anticipating a listing. It seems that I am safe since I have placed the 301 re-direct, please let me know if there is anything I should do to make sure the right URL is posted. Thanks to all the moderators!! Good Day, dregna
spectregunner Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 If the site is still awaiting the review, in all probability, the reviewing editor will catch the redirect. I'd recommend you do nothing.
dregna Posted March 31, 2004 Author Posted March 31, 2004 Repost of last message: I noticed this dead link is still comig up here is the original posting: Seems like we got a dead or soon to be dead link in the following category: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/C/ Heres the title:CompuServe Store Heres the link: http://store.compuserve.com/stores/...=templates/main

dregna Posted April 8, 2004 Author Posted April 8, 2004 Howdy, Im trying to help out a bit by posting a dead link in (wow could you imagine that) the category we've submitted to, yet its still there. Im not writing to ask for an update because I know how strict you guys are about that. I've turned into an "odp addict", I'm constantly checking the forum and the category we've submitted too and the dead link is driving me mad. So even though this won't speed up the submission process, could you at least take a look at this dead link and help out an odp junkie? DEAD LINK OR DYING LINK: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/C/ Heres the title:CompuServe Store Heres the link: http://store.compuserve.com/stores/...=templates/main
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted April 8, 2004 Editall/Catmv Posted April 8, 2004 The correct place to post dead link reports is the Hijacks & Other Content Changes thread at http://resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5453 .
dregna Posted April 17, 2004 Author Posted April 17, 2004 Thanks for the advice the dead link was reported to hijacks and other content changes and has since been removed. I am writing to check on our site submission status for Convenient Gadgets. Following are the submission details: Site URL: http://www.convenientgadgets.com Category: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/C/ Thanks ahead for any replies Dan
