Hi,
I would love some feedback from a admin and moderator.

First please look at my site <url removed> do you see any reason why my site should not make it to DMOZ. I submitted few times at siz months interval but never got listed.

I submitted it again yesterday but I was little off on the category as I was sleecting a competitor who is in same business ti find the right category. I submitted in http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/Basic_Service/D/ but it should be on http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/Basic_Service/F/

Should I re-submit?

Also I have various service. So can I submit to multiple categories with each category links point to the right landing page?

Please help. many thanks in advance.

First, we don't discuss specific sites here, so per the forum ToS I edited your post to remove the URL.

Since you have already suggested the site before, several months ago (and several times according to what you say) there is no need to send in another site suggestion. It can take from several days to several years before a volunteer editor reviews a site suggestion, and there is no way to predict when it will happen (or who will perform the site review). Web design categories tend to get a lot of site suggestions, and many of them are severely misplaced, which means that it can often take longer until a suggested site is reviewed. Needless to say, sending a site to the wrong category (whether accidentally or on purose) means that it takes longer until review, but again, because you have already suggested it to the right place there doesn't seem to be any need to submit another suggestion. Site suggestions do not go away until they have been reviewed, and so re-suggesting serves no purpose.

As for your final question, if your "various" services are completely different, for instance web design, vegetable gardening and window cleaning, there may be reason to suggest different parts of the site to different categories. But if all the services are related to computers in some way, you should not suggest it to more than one category.

If you have an office in some specific location you can suggest the site to the most relevant category in the Regional/ category tree, for instance http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...calities/N/New_York_City/Business_and_Economy or http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/India/Tamil_Nadu/Localities/Chennai/Business_and_Economy . Please make sure that you find the most relevant locality, and the most specific subcategory under the locality (if there are subcategories there). Listings in Regional/ and Computers/ tend to be independent of each other.
