I'm trying to find the status of my site located at:

http://www.adriansphoto.com

I submited to:

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Photography/Services/Restoration/

My site was submited 2 months ago and I resubmited on march 10, 2003. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I really need to get listed.

TIA
Adrian.

I can see your site in the queue for that category, but there's a medium sized queue there so you'll have to exercise your patience a little.

Unfortunately, every submission you make overwrites the last one, so your latest submission is the only one in the queue. This means that if an editor sorts the queue by date (which is the default), you've bumped yourself down to the bottom of the queue. Sorry about that.

I can't say anything more than just sit tight, and wait. If nothing has happened after a month, come back to this thread and ask again.

Well, too bad I didn't found out about this board before I resubmited, at least now I know for next time. Guess I'll just have to wait. Thanks for your fast answer.

No change I'm afraid. Your site is still there, and the queue is still roughly the same size. Sorry.

Just checking if my site is still on the queue:

http://www.adriansphoto.com

I submited to:

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Photography/Services/Restoration/

I would really appreciate any advice on how to get listed, I've been trying since january but without any luck so far, I did manage to get a 5th place on google when you search for photo restoration tough.

Thanks for all your help.

Site is still waiting to be reviewed by an editor.

Advice for getting listed: Wait patiently for an editor to review the site. It's nothing you could influence from the submitters site. Of course you are free to apply to become an editor somewhere to help the ODP. (Maybe after reading the huge amount of tips you can get in the apropriate forum)

Google: Sorry, but that is something we don't care about. We are working on a directory, not on google. Not for google. And especially not for "pagerank" of sites we are listing.

Thanks for the information, I'll follow your advice on becoming an editor in a small category maybe, since I would really like to help and looks like there is a shortage of editors. Anyway, sorry about the google remark, I was just getting a little frustated but I do realize that you guys are all volunteers and it takes time getting listed when there's no editor in the category.

Again, thanks for the help.
