At first I thought DMOZ was just not listing my site due to minor issues.

After active replies from them I think there is a genuine problem with my site.

I need someone to have a look at let me know what the dmoz editors are seeing wrong that I am not.


http://resource-zone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38203

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Als goes to show that dmoz editors are more active than previously thought.

Do you own rentalsestepona.com? Do you own any other sites with similar content?

This could be the problem

Yes we own alot of sites with similar content. But Rentals Estepona and Palm Estates have totally different content. It's one of the other sites such as propertydelsol.com or propertydelsol.co.uk causing this.

The ODP treats a collection of pages, folders, sub-domains, and domains as "one site".

Spreading content across multiple domains does not mean that each will be listed.

In fact only ONE of them will be; and if editors have a hard time figuring out which one is the "main" one, then maybe none of them will be listed.

Attempting to submit multiple domains is seen as spamming the directory; do not resubmit.

I don't plan on resubmitting until I find out where the duplicate content is.

The problem is that these sites submit themselves somehow on their own. I need to figure out where the duplicate content is since the sites are big and varied and there is no obvious duplications.

It isn't that there is duplication, it is that the ODP does not treat each domain as being a separate site; they will treat all of the domains together as being one site and therefore only one domain, or less, is listable. I did not mention duplication anywhere at all in my previous answer.

If Wal-Mart created 100 web sites to advertise all that they do, then they would still only get one listing in total; usually for the one domain that appears to be the "main entrance" to the collection of information.

You obviously havn't read the resource-zone thread I listed. It is clearly a duplicate content problem.

The main site is what isn't listing. I just don't understand how to find where the duplicate content is.

At the end of the day .... how many sites have you submitted, how many times to how many different categories???? Thats spam.

The guidelines can be paraphrased to:
"Generally, one company = one site = submitted once to one category"

I want to find and change the duplicate content (or remove where applicable).

Sigh.

It isn't duplicate content as in "the same words on different sites" it is duplicate content as in "you have multiple sites with the same theme" and as stated above the ODP will list one, or less of them.
