Application Status

I have not received any notifications regarding the confirmation or denial of my submission. I’ve submitted <URL removed> to the category Shopping/Home_and_Garden/Plants/Shrubs/Roses/

I’ve submitted this domain about 3 times over the past 3 years to this category. My site has never been approved, and I’ve never received indication why. Even our direct competitors have been approved in the exact same category years ago. What am I doing wrong?

You might have misunderstood our objectives and how we operate here. ODP is a volunteer organisation building a directory as a hobby. Editors edit where they wish, when they wish and as much as they wish within the constraints of their permissions. We have no schedules or systems to force people to do work that they don't volunteer to do. ODP is not primarily a free listing service for website owners and it does not attempt to process their listing suggestions within the time scales desired by them.

Some volunteer will process your listing suggestion in time but we can't predict who or when that might be. Elapsed times can range from a few days to a few years. There is no need to re-suggest your website and doing so could be counter-productive because a later suggestion overwrites any earlier one.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize how much luck played into acceptance. I shall now wait patiently. Well, I shall wait. ;-)
