Hi,

I have submitted my site, http://plushtoys4you.com, every third month since 2 years back, but I am still not listed? The category I submit to is
http://dmoz.org/Business/Consumer_Goods_and_Services/Toys_and_Games/Stuffed_Animals/

I asume ther is something you disslike with my page or?

Best regards, Nick

Actually you submitted it several times to several different categories including that one, so you don;t need to submit it any more.

No one has any problems with your site, since it has not been reviewed yet. We do have a problem with multiple submissions, since it just makes extra work. It's mentioned in the page http://www.dmoz.org/add.html - which you were obliged to read each time you submitted the site.

But, +2 years is a long time...

Hi, and thanks for fast reply!

But is not +2 years a long time to wait, even if I have submitted to different categories?

Is the fact that you are looking for an editor of this category meaning that all submitted sites ends up in a que?

Would I benefit from signing up as a volounteer please let me know...

Cheers Nick

The lack of an editor is meaningless.

The fact that it has taken more than two years in a Business category is not that unusual, especialy since every time you resubmitted you reset the date stamp, so that editors who sort by date (some do, some don't) would not think your submission had been lying around that long.

We always encourage volunteer editors, but don't sign up if your only/major motivation is getting your own site listed.

Good points SpectreG, it's not the lack of an editor, it's the lack of named editor, which is not the same thing, many editors spend a large part of their time editing in categories which have no named editor [at the bottom].

It's just that experienced editors are encouraged to leave their name off all the places where they edit, in order to leave it more open for new editors to apply.

And depending on various factors, multiple submissions do one of two things - they leave an extra copy waiting for review that someone has to delete. Or they replace the previous submission [leaving no record that this happened], so that an editor who chooses to work through the heap of sites in date order [they may or may not] never gets to the site, since it keeps moving down to the bottom.

It's like standing in line for a bus, and as the bus comes in, lifting your leg behind you and kicking youself to the back of the line.
