Change / Make Multipal Listings?

My companies website is currently listed under http://directory.google.com/Top/Business/Construction_and_Maintenance/Materials_and_Supplies/Metals/Expansion_Control/?il=1 which is fine for only one of the many products that we sell. I would like to have similar listing in product category that are related to the other products. That would mean we would have multiple listings. Is this ok, or should I request that our listing be moved to a more generic category or up to a less specific category? Or should I just leave well enough alone with the thought that having a listing good enough?

1. We are not Google. We are DMOZ and our category URLs begin with http://dmoz.org/...

2. We do not list products, we list websites. Companies submitting individual product pages risk sever penalites.

3. If you belive that your listed site is not listed correctly, go to the DMOZ category where it is listed, click on Update URL and request a change. Do not attempt to keyword stuff the description in this process.

I am truly sorry for the incorrect link! I hope I have not offended you in any way! The correct link is:http://dmoz.org/Business/Construction_and_Maintenance/Materials_and_Supplies/Metals/Expansion_Control/ Our main site is listed here but that category is very specific to just one of our 7 products. I am not interested in keyword stuffing as that is not my intent. This is a valuable site that we do not directly sell products, but only give out free information to potential customers. My only concern is if I should request the site be moved to a more generic category. I did request a change a few years back but no change was made. Now I know about resource-zone and though I would bring this up in open discussion.

Once again I am sorry for the previous "stupid" mistake.

Ok - Thanks, but I have one last question.

I found that the only category that our products have in common is top: business: material and supplies. The category that each product lists is as follows:
top: business: material and supplies: metals: expansion control
top: business: material and supplies: specialties: louver and vents
top: business: material and supplies: wall, floor and decorative finishes: wallpaper and coverings
top: business: material and supplies: furnishings: rugs and mats
top: business: material and supplies: metals
top: business: material and supplies: thermal and moisture: roof specialties and accessories

I see that I can't list in the category "top: business: material and supplies:" by its self. Are there any suggestions?

Think of it as a suggestion to re-review the site for better category placement -- because that's what would happen.

Make your suggestion with the category you think best. The editor who reviews it will consider if there's a better category.

Ok - spectregunner, I have submitted a change to Expansion Control Category but it was before your thread with you link. After reading the info in your link I am a little embarrassed by my request which doesn't exactly follow the rules (I didn't spam or anything like that - it just didn't have as much thought as it should have). Can someone delete my request so I can submit a request to "update listing" following the rules in your supplied link.

Please forgive my ignorance, but I am trying to keep everything correct!
