You seem to be under the impression that your site has been rejected for not being unique when really the primary reason why a listable site hasn't been listed yet is simply that no one has gotten around to reviewing it yet. No conspiracies, no deep dark mysteries, just the expected logistical problems inherent in a system that relies on volunteers who are allowed to edit where and how much they want. The concept of "unique" from an ODP point of view varies depending on the part of the directory you're looking at and what type of site you're talking about. Remember that "similar" is not necessarily "the same". Identical content is not unique and surfers aren't served by us listing multiple sites offering identical content to one another. Similar content may or may not be unique and surfers may be served by similar sites being listed.

Someone will eventually edit in this category and review your site. It won't be because of a request in this forum, however. All you can do is be patient.

It could be, depending on where you're thinking of submitting it.

Re: Status: http://www.1cog.com (domain change) The URL was corrected, though it may not yet be reflected on the public pages or search. It is still waiting in Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/Full_Service/1 and it won't be added to the other two you submitted it to.

Re: TrainingSchools.net - Site submition status! Still waiting. Anticipating your next question, no, we don't know how long it will be before the site is reviewed.

>>I feel the site and the organization it represents merits a priority inclusion due its mission. I'm sure you can appreciate the fact that everyone thinks the same thing (for a variety of reasons) about their own site. Very few editors, relatively speaking, have the resources to be able to edit in the holding area, which is why editors like hutcheson spend a large chunk of time there -- asking them to review sites as they're pushing those sites through to the right categories isn't fair or appropriate.

Re: TrainingSchools.net - Site submition status! >>Also, I would like to see if can move the above site one directory up to: dmoz>reference>education as appose to dmoz>reference>education>directories. Short answer would be "No". If the editor who reviews your site thinks it should be listed up a level, they'll send it there (but that won't happen). Personally, I think you'll be lucky to get listed in Directories. FWIW, though, you're still waiting to be reviewed. It's likely going to be a much longer wait so I'd leave 2 or 3 months (3 is better) before coming back here to check back up on it.

Re: status : http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.c >>Thanks, motsa! It looks like everybody's mistyping that category name. Dangnabbit!!! Deleted too much from the URL. It's been corrected. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Re: status : http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.c I think you mean http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/California/Localities/R/Roseville/Business_and_Economy/Automotive/ <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Please reuse your original thread in the Site Submission Status forum to ask for a status update. Thanks.

You do know that you can submit to Google directly without having an ODP listing, don't you?

>>Could you inform me of the average time it takes for a web site to get reviewed by an editor? Nope. Could be anywhere from hours to years and any attempt at averaging would be meaningless.

Re: Changed content, no content, redirects and DNS oldcrone: Looks like I met another editor working up from the bottom. LOL Anyway, they're all taken care of.

Actually, educatorater.com was added by mistake to Spanish Fork. The fact that the site is based there doesn't give it a Spanish Fork focus and therefore it shouldn't/can't be listed there.

Re: Status: http://www.MonotStreet.com/ It's finally out of the spam filter and is waiting for review in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Middle_East/Lebanon/Beirut . I have no idea how long it will take to be reviewed.
