seo guy,

browse to the category that they are currently listed in and then scroll to the bottom of the page. you should see a list of Category editors. click on a name and then click on the send to link, then send post your request. do this for all the editors listed.

then be patient... very patient... not all editors are as on top of it as i am but seriously... it could take some time, but if the request is valid that should do it.

Alternatively, you can make your (client's) case in the submission thread at RZ. be sure to state the URL of the site 8both the one that's currently listed, and the one you'd like to see listed, and why), and the categories involved (both the one where the site is currently listed, and the one where you think it should be moved, and why).

You'll get an immediate reply on whether your request is valid on both points, and suggestions on how to proceed for requesting the change/s

you'll need to navigate to the directory page that your client is listed on and scroll down to the bottom of the page. if u see that there are no current editors for that category then contact the editors for the category above that one.

if u cannot find them... then PM me with the listing (if u wish) and i'll try to take care of it for u, or atleast point out who the editors are.

In the cat where the site is listed on the bottom of the page is the editor for that cat..
I would email that editor with your request. The editor then can transfer the site to the correct ct.. themselves. The editor is that cat.. has to explain why he/she is transferring the site somewhere else. Then it's up to that editor in that cat... who decides if it should be there. According to the guidelines. It all has to do with the description of the site. That is how we place the sites. Sounds confusing but it really is not..........lol Hope this helps.

What are you talking ? I`m editor too, but i have a look at the Site first and make my own Pic of the Site and then i will place it or remove to an other Directory or delete it. But i never place an Site because of the Describtion! Read the Guidelines and then Work - but never post so stupid Stuff here!

I decided to become part of the solution rather than rtemaining part of the problem.

I just became the editor for a category with 150 plus sites to edit.

Sometimes the url is inactive, sometimes in chinese or japanese, or not even close to the right category. Most of the sites have obviously paid zero attention to the guidelines.

Why not sign up for a category?

Yea, atlinx! Way to go! Thanks for working on the solution.

It doesn't take long to see the real problem once you're there, does it?
