jewelry Posted March 28, 2005 Author Posted March 28, 2005 ...inappropriate submission of your mirror site has NOT helped? I do not have a mirror site, nor has ANY submission other than http://www.gemologica.com ever been submitted. Can you please expand on this?
Meta pvgool Posted March 28, 2005 Meta Posted March 28, 2005 :zip: I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
bobrat Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Some day someone will study the psychology of submissions to DMOZ, and come up with a new symptom - which I would call conditional amnesia, perhaps suggestesia, dmozexia I find it incredible how many people in this forum forget what they submitted, and what sites they own.
jewelry Posted March 28, 2005 Author Posted March 28, 2005 bobrat: As previously stated, nothing other than http://www.gemologica.com was ever submitted by this company. If you have any other information to the contrary, why not provide it? Now, that would be helpful...
bobrat Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 It was, but like pvgool I must zip my lips. - We don't discuss details. If you have an SEO company or webmaster working for you - I suggest you discuss it with them.
Meta hutcheson Posted March 28, 2005 Meta Posted March 28, 2005 We tend to be careless about terminology sometimes. Are there perhaps multiple sites, or perhaps alias URLs to the same site, presenting products from the same business? If you'll give us a list of all the company's domain names, we can check them all.
jewelry Posted March 28, 2005 Author Posted March 28, 2005 hutcheson: Thanks for the response - we do not have this. Furthermore, we do not have an SEO company, or any other related company working for us. As stated, there was only one submission from this company ever. If there were any other submissions, it was not authorized by any company, or company-related official. Having said this, is there anyway to find out what is going on? Is there another forum where this should be asked, or another contact email? Thanks
Meta hutcheson Posted March 28, 2005 Meta Posted March 28, 2005 The URL you e-mailed to me was indeed submitted by someone. It doesn't really matter where or when -- it was detected as a redirect or mirror and treated appropriately. But -- as indicated, it does leave a bad taste in editors' mouth. And, more importantly, it makes editors VERY careful about giving information to someone who might be trying to set up a multiple-listing scam. We've seen worse, and I very much doubt it'll affect the eventual site review of the real URL.
jewelry Posted March 28, 2005 Author Posted March 28, 2005 So what you're saying is that anyone can sabotage a company's submission without any recourse?
spectregunner Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 No, you have not been sabotaged. But we are in the "trust but verify" mode. Your pattern of responses has not been encouraging.
jewelry Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 LOL I ask the editors to look into something that is suspect, and somehow my responses are not encouraging...
bobrat Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 If we give you the benefit of the doubt 1. You have a very bad memory 2. You have someone in your company doing website work for you that you are not aware of and using your email and identity Otherwise, to be brutally honest, (and since I can't think of any other explanation for this whole thread and the other information we have about you) we might conclude that you are lying to us, and think we are pretty stupid. I could of course be wrong, but it seems other editors are hinting at just that. As I said, it's not the first time, I've seen threads like this. It seems that people routinely forget which city their company is really in, how many websites they have, how many other related companies they in fact own, that another unrelated company is located on the other side of their desk and by co-incidence has the same phone number.
Meta hutcheson Posted March 29, 2005 Meta Posted March 29, 2005 And ... some people do really forget (well, maybe not about the other company sharing a toothbrush, but about submittals made a year ago.) There's no problem with the submittal. We've established that. The site is waiting review (and you can guess how large the unreviewed pool is, simply by Googling for sites that sell jewelry). See you in six months, if you like.
