Hello, I was recently told about marketing our site in dmoz.org. When I did a search, I found that we are listed in Regional: North America: United States: Georgia: Localities: M: Marietta: Business and Economy: Shopping: Furniture (I am not sure how we got there ??)
However, I believe we would be better suited in a main category such as http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Home_and_Garden/Furniture/Seating/

The only problem we have is that our company is geared toward commercial sales, not neccesarily Home_and_Garden. Is there a Commercial Category or Restaurant Category in Shopping? If so, I am sorry that we could not find it. IF there is not, how do we suggest one?

We really want to be sure we are listed in the correct category, and not considered a spammer. Any help before we suggest our site, would be great.

Yes, Business-to-business retailers can be considered for a review somewhere under Business (not Shopping), whether or not they already have a listing under Regional. Pick the category you think most closely fits the "preponderance" of your business, submit, and check back (bump this thread) in a month.
 

You should have reached a 'confirmation of successful submission' screen.

That's not fair. There have been glitches where that screen never comes up.

Per hutcheson's advice:

... so that is what I've done. I would have used the other forum for submission status, but hutcheson asked otherwise.

If this isn't true any longer, should I restate the question in the other forum?

Looks like this thread has changed its mission. I'll move it to the site status forum.

Certainly it's possible. No change on the status - the site still awaits editorial review.

Thanks

So it is possible for sites to go unreviewed for well over a year in a category. Based on editor insight, should we give up or try again in another six months?

You can ask again in six months, if you wish. It won't make the review happen faster, or slower.

Give up? You've done what you could (suggested the site twice); you've ascertained that what you did had the intended effect (that is, you've made sure the editor who eventually works on that category won't completely overlook the site. That's all that you can do.

Now pretend the ODP doesn't exist. What would you do to promote your site? .... Well, then, go do it.
