opsmngr Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 Date(s) Sept and Oct 2003 in 2 categories (a bilingual site) http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Guides_and_Directories/ and an equivilant category in Arabic that might have moved or I cannot locate anymore. Site: http://www.arabo.com for Arabic And http://www.arabo.com/home.html for English Thanks
jswafford Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 Your site is waiting in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Guides_and_Directories/ There is no need to resubmit. If you wish to inquire again, bookmark this thread and reuse it again in 30 days or longer.
opsmngr Posted December 17, 2003 Author Posted December 17, 2003 Hi Again ( One Month Later ), 1) Is there any update on the status for our English Home http://www.arabo.com/home.html listing in http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Guides_and_Directories/ 2) Shall I go ahead and apply for our Arabic Home http://www.arabo.com to be listed in the equivilant Arabic Category http://www.dmoz.org/World/Arabic/%cd%c7%d3%e6%c8/%c5%e4%ca%d1%e4%ca/%c3%cf%e1%c9/ As we are a bilingual site as previously mentioned, or are we pending there as well ? We do not know as there seems to have been a re-shuffle in the directory. 3) Kindly confirm that is it our English home url pending in the fist category, and if it is our Arabic Home url pending in the Second Arabic Category, if not could you correct it pls. ? Feedback appreciated, THANKS ArabO
Guest Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Without comment on content or directory placement or noting that you are one day short of one month later -- as the "English" link in the upper right hand corner of http://www.arabo.com works, it would be ODP policy to list http://www.arabo.com (rather than http://www.arabo.com/home) in both the Regional and World/Arabic categories, if the corresponding language content is appropriate for those categories.
opsmngr Posted December 17, 2003 Author Posted December 17, 2003 Thanks Arthur, Do I go ahead and re-apply http://www.arabo.com into both locations ? (We are a bilingual search engine & Directory for the Arab Middle East) Or just wait for someone to reply to the above questions ?
Guest Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 I'd wait for answers to the other questions -- but new submissions may overwrite old ones, so if an editor is looking at suggestions in order of submission, you'd lose your place in line if you resubmit.
thehelper Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 You are waiting in the English language category under the original URL. I did not find you waiting in the World category. I am not real sure on what URL is listed in the World categories so maybe someone else can shine some light on that one.
Meta nea Posted December 18, 2003 Meta Posted December 18, 2003 The root URL (www.arabo.com) is the one to submit to the Arabic category - in fact, the root URL is in Arabic, and the English page is a deeplink, but since it is easily found from the front page of the site the root URL is the one to (possibly) list. (I haven't reviewed it, nor will I be the one to do so - I just looked at the site to see how easy the English content was to find). So, to summarize the various snippets of information you've been given here: * Your site is waiting for review in the English-language category. You do not need to resubmit it there. * Your site is not waiting for review in the Arabic-language category you mentioned, and you may submit there if that is the best place for it. * ...and if and when you have submitted it, you can return after one month or more to ask for its status - if you do, please use this same thread.

opsmngr Posted February 22, 2004 Author Posted February 22, 2004 Hi again, Trying to space out my queries here so as not to appear as a nag, but really concerned on the pending status of ArabO in http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Guides_and_Directories/ Please Confirm we are still pending there, and how often should I come back here and "nag" again ? Thanks OpsMngr
yapuka Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 Well, you're not spacing enough! Please wait one month between enquiries. Thanks
opsmngr Posted February 29, 2004 Author Posted February 29, 2004 Understood. Could I get an answer now please ? Thank You

opsmngr Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 Status of www.arabo.com Last post I did was Feb 29th, fixing posts on the 1st of each month for consistency and ensuring the one month in-between my posts rule. There goes my million dollar question: Status Please for http://www.arabo.com in: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Guides_and_Directories/

opsmngr Posted June 3, 2004 Author Posted June 3, 2004 Status Please Status Please for ArabO.com in http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Guides_and_Directories/ This is really taking taking a long time, is it an unmanaged/abandoned category ? I am asking as I have not seen any new additions there in ages, if you guys need a hand do let me know. Thank you
sole Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 We have changed our policy on submission check updates. We will now only do them every 6 months as explained here. I would not suggest you apply for that category. If you really want to be an editor because you think it would be a good hobby, study up on it, and you'll learn why that is not a good category for anyone to start with. If you want to become an editor so you can list your site, don't bother. I don't think you'll be accepted as an editor of that category anyway.
opsmngr Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 Greetings, Status Please for http://www.arabo.com in: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Guides_and_Directories/ After 6 months of self restraint I hope we deserve a little explanation more than just "still waiting review", a "Forget it" or a "Re-apply" giving reasons would be really appreciated My case for getting listed is: - We are bilingual site (Arabic and English) and it is well marked on all pages - Most of our competition are already listed there - Our coverage is really extensive, it took a lot of work, and deserve a little consideration - More than a year in a que is a lot of time, although we appreciate your efforts, its mind blowing to think that the next time we can respond or ask again is by Mar 2005 Thanks for taking the time in such hectic overcrowded tasks.

RZ Admin photofox Posted September 18, 2004 RZ Admin Posted September 18, 2004 Hello, You are a little early to request a secondary status check. You had your last update on 04-04-2004 so you can request another after 10-04-2004. Please bump this thread on or after the 10th October at the time we can check the status again. Tip: You can check to see if your site has been listed while you are waiting for the 6 months to be up by going to http://www.dmoz.org and typing in arabo.com search sometimes does not work but if you try a few times you will eventually get a results. You should try this as you can answer the status request yourself by looking at result #1 and #2 Curlie Admin photofox
opsmngr Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 Sorry for the mistake, in my window view the last post was on 06-03-2004, but you are right, point taken and understood. We did not apply or submit to that second listing that is a deep link to one of our categories, so I will copy and paste the same message again in one month. Thanks again
motsa Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 >> in my window view the last post was on 06-03-2004 The dates in this forum are in the form mm-dd-yyyy. I'm guessing you misread that date as March 6 instead of June 3?
opsmngr Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 That is correct Motsa, in the Middle East we are more used to dd.mm.yy Will be noting that in the future, although time is passing slow on this end of the screen with the waiting and all Thanks again
opsmngr Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 Status Please for http://www.arabo.com in: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Guides_and_Directories/ Hoping for a little explanation, more than just "still waiting review", a "Forget it" or a "Re-apply" would be really appreciated as we have been waiting for over one year My case for getting listed is: - We are bilingual site (Arabic and English) and it is well marked on all pages - Most of the simmilar sites are already listed there - We think we are doing a really good job Thanks for taking the time in such hectic overcrowded tasks.
