Will my site be accepted?

Can someone please take a look at my website suggestion and see if there's a possibility that the suggestion will be rejected? I'd like to know if there's a reason I could be rejected.

Site URL: http://techgeeks-online.com/

Site Description: Provides technical support, SEO advice, product reviews, and tweaking tutorials.
Category: Top: Computers: FAQs, Help, and Tutorials

Thank you.

 

A possibility that the suggestion will be rejected = 100%
A reason = no content

Advise = try 1 year from know

Do yourself a favour and actually read the suggestion guidelines. They require that a website be suggested just once to the one best category. It doesn't matter if we think it would go better in a different one because we'll move it.

Avoid the temptation so suggest it to multiple categories and/or multiple times to the same category. It's a waste of everybody's time and is more likely to do your cause harm than good.

 

I don't understand :/ What's the problem with the content?

 

Suggesting to the WRONG category can get your site rejected rather then moved... you forgot to mention that. By saying that you WILL move it is misleading, as that is NOT what the guidelines you are pointing to suggest. So either you are wrong, or pointing to the guidelines is a silly thing to do...

 

you need more content buddy

 

More content? ANY unique content should be enough for inclusion, as seen by individual deep links to numerous pages already listed within the directory. If the main page has content, or links to individual bits of content, then is that not good enough? sites like Lucky Mojo have numerous deeplinks to individual articles yet this page can't get a single listing? Topix has (nearly 20k) individual links to NON-ORIGINAL-SYNDICATED content, yet a site that fits the cat that has unique content is not good enough... something is seriously wrong with that.

 

Well that's nice to hear

I really do think the site has enough unique content. I'm a new editor for a very deep section (in DMOZ) and lots of the approved submissions there are deeplinks with one page of unique content.

 

It just you must to have more than a couple of dozens or even hundreds of article to "impress" editors.
Or whatever you have must be so "unique" (DMOZ term) that editors won't have choice but to list you.

My advise, submit your site and while waiting work on content no one else has and maybe, just maybe
you hit Jackpot.

everything seem to be look good, just make sure you use correct URL and correct anchor text so that you won't waist time submitting your site.

 

Initially I got the impression that of a splog. There is no personality, no about section, no contact us section, no clear reason why you have this blog in this first place.

You at least need those things, and that others said.

 

As difficult as you make it to find, how would you expect anything other than the comments already received regarding such? Since you say you're an editor, how many times would you click "Older Entries" to see how much content a blog had? Ever consider linking to the archives or categories so that your content is easy to find? As a visitor, I wouldn't waste my time there.

 

According to whom? The ONLY site that need an about page are those trying to get into a regional section (Assuming the about page lists the physical address). The rest of those things are NOT on the guidelines so are not needed for a listing.

 

I created a "Popular Posts" section in the sidebar of the homepage to link to some of the best posts on the entire blog. I hope that helps.

I think a simple layout looks professional. I used to have a contact page but noone used it. If people wanted computer help or advertising rates they registered on the forum and PMed me. There's nothing I can put in an about section because I'm using Wordpress as a CMS for tech articles and not really to make a blog.

I understand why you could see it as a splog; most autoblogs are very plain like that.

 

What boggles my mind is that a site that purports to have expertise on SEO would chase a DMOZ link... in 2010.

;-)

 

Why are you getting so defensive? The OP got what I was trying to say. It reminds me of a splog, not that it is. I said that because of the lack of said pages which is a characteristic of a splog/autoblog.

I meant to say "those pages are recommended" Loosen your panties and relax.

 

But I like them all bunched up...

Sorry if I sounded defensive... I just wanted the OP to know that such things as 'about pages' and site layout have NOTHING to do with getting listed according to the editors that post about the place. Though, having a good site by most standards would certainly take such things into consideration...

 

I do too from time to time hehe, but anyway thanks for the clarification.

Good day.
