I thought that DMOZ only indexed 'finished' websites? Certainly used to be the case, it was in their clause when I last read through it.
I think the para you mean is 'Do not submit sites "under construction." Wait until a site is complete before submitting it. Sites that are incomplete, contain "Under Construction" notices, or contain broken graphics or links aren't good candidates for the directory.' What boils down to "not bust" is rather different to "finished"... <grin>
Also, it can (used to) take weeks for pages to appear in google.
I've never waited that long. In any event, there's now an external link from radstocknet index site (which helps anyway); and google does find that page (when the search is for "Taumata Guest House"), giving a list of 1 single page, linking only to the target site. That's not bad at all! More index listings will improve that still further: more inward links generate more traffic directly, and also raise the google rating. A much more general search - for '"bed and breakfast" +"buckland dinham"' - shows the linking page at item 5 (of a total of 10). You're getting there, Paul! Roger
