Category not updated since January 2007

Hello,

On 12th October 2008 I submitted a site to a category. Two months later I realised I typed my email wrong (my fault, it’s true ), so I decided to submit it again on 15th December 2008, hoping this was not going to be treated as spam since I was clearly correcting my mistake.

The time went by, and I’ve been patiently waiting for my site to get listed in this category. However, the footer of the category shows that it was last updated 2nd January 2007. That’s almost three years ago! Isn't that a little too much?

What can I do?

Thanks.

Best regards.

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.

We have thousands of editors from all countries, many interests and all walks of life. If none of them is interested in a particular category for several years, that probably indicates its relative importance in the overall scheme of things - harsh but true .

There's nothing you can do to expedite your listing suggestions here. I suggest that you focus on other means of promoting your website.
