echupa Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Just wondering what the status of: http://www.echupa.com I'm fairly sure that it was listed a few months ago in: http://www.dmoz.com/Computers/Software/Industry-Specific/ I didn't know ahead of time to remember the category, but I'm pretty sure that was it. It's been a while now. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
brmehlman Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Actually, it was suggested for Computers/Software/Retailers. More than once. We decided not to list it because most of the categories were empty. "Coming soon" just doesn't make it for us. When you get the content filled out, feel free to submit again. Once.
echupa Posted November 29, 2003 Author Posted November 29, 2003 Thanks for the quick update - that's actually the category I was hoping for, but I think I tried to drill down a bit more. Would it be ok to just leave it at that level when resubmitting (After I update the content)? I didn't think I submitted it more than a couple times over the past 6 months or so, sorry about that. Thanks again.
brmehlman Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 When you get the content, submit a suggestion to include the site in the one best category you feel that content warrants.
echupa Posted November 29, 2003 Author Posted November 29, 2003 I don't mean to be a pain, but we basically have the new website ready to go, just a day or two more, and we'll be ready to go. But, is this too soon to re-submit - even though our listing was cancelled, is it ok to resubmit? Thank you again.
djdeeds Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 If the content is not yet on the site, it is too soon to submit a suggestion.
thehelper Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 You must be in some kind of big hurry or something. That is not a good way to be when you are dealing with dmoz.org. Make sure you remember you need to wait a month between status requests and reuse your same thread.
echupa Posted November 29, 2003 Author Posted November 29, 2003 I'm not really in a big hurry, well not anymore than any other web developer I was just curious as to how it all works. I wasn't clear above in my previous message, I didn't mean to submit it now; I meant, would it be ok to submit it after the changes are made to our site (We have been working on it for a while now, it's pretty much complete). Since our submission was turned down before, I don't know how it works - is it ok to re-submit in a few days when we have our new site completed; or would it be bad to resubmit so soon (even though our submission was denied)...hope that makes sense. Thanks.

Meta hutcheson Posted November 29, 2003 Meta Posted November 29, 2003 In a case like this, it won't hurt to add at the end of your suggested description a bracketed comment to the editor: "[site has added content since its last review]". That may make it less likely for the editor to reject it out of hand just because it had been rejected before. (I'm not saying the other happens often -- it doesn't -- but it's cheap insurance.)
