If you found out your site was rejected, what would you do? And what's keeping you from doing it right now?

We don't have reasons for rejection.

We have reasons for listing. Well, A reason. The reason for listing a site is "significant unique information."

If a site isn't listed, it's because nobody has yet found any significant unique information in it.

So, now you know for certain what the reason for rejecting your site is, if it's rejected.

But we don't know the real reason a site isn't listed. All we know is, nobody has found any significant unique information there.

We don't know whether the site design is so bad that the editor couldn't find the unique content, or whether the site developer didn't KNOW any unique content, or the site developer didn't WANT to post any unique content, or whether the site developer hadn't yet gotten around to posting his unique content. Only the site developer knows that. (It amazes me that people who must already know exactly what is and isn't unique about their sites, ask someone who'd have to do all kinds of research to find out half of what they already know!)

So, are you going to help all surfers, not just ODP editors, by answering that question? DON'T answer in this forum, of course: people who want your information won't be stopping here first. Answer the question on the website. "What's the unique information here, and how can a surfer get to it?"

Or don't answer -- it's your website and you can do whatever you want with it. All I can do is tell you what editors look for, in websites that they consider listing.

Google directory is one of the users of ODP data. If you scroll to the bottom of a Google directory page, you'll see the required ODP attribution. Google updates at intervals, and ODP has no influence over how frequently they update. ODP always has the most up-to-date version.

Before you post more questions I would recommend you to take a step back and think before posting. Most of your questions can be answered if you read the available information at dmoz.org :icon_idea

Editor work is unpaid.

The ODP (dmoz.org) is continually updated every day. Concerning Google you have to ask them.

Editors are not encouraged to chat with webmasters.

If you´re asking if all categories have named editors, the answer is no, but at any given time hundreds of editors can edit any category.

Dmoz editors delay

If dmoz editors worked without payment, then why the editors take so long time for review of the site and there are enough number of editors in each and every category, then what is the cause of delay. Although I am not understand what is the criteria for site accepting of dmoz and why editors take so long time to accept a site. If they have a bulk of work, then I can take their positions.

I believe if you read many of the posts on this forum you could find that answer.

We do not have to answer to how long a site waits - it waits until it is reviewed. Site submission is just one way of many for a site to make its way into the directory.

There are not enough editors to monitor every category at once. If you think that you mis-translated.

I have noticed that dmoz editors are most active in areas that interest them. Areas that do not have as many editors interested do not get as much attention.

Also, there is no automatic notice of site acceptance or rejection. There is no mechanism for checking the status of your site.

Best advice as far as submitting to dmoz is - submit your site then move on. There is nothing you can do except submit your site to the best category you think it fits in with the best Title and Description you can think of.

Have a nice day.

Posting in this forum does not expedite the processing of a listing suggestion. If it did, the few volunteers prepared to work in here would quickly be swamped.

Because it's not a job, it's a hobby, and no one can tell someone when or how often to work on their hobby, :D .

and there are enough number of editors in each and every category, then what is the cause of delay.

There are never enough editors, and many of them are only interested in certain categories.

Although I am not understand what is the criteria for site accepting of dmoz and why editors take so long time to accept a site. If they have a bulk of work, then I can take their positions.

New unbiased editors are always welcome. How many of the 590,000 categories would you be willing to edit? My bet is just one. :D
