It's in the queue, and it shows as having been submitted 27th November.

The problem with re-submitting is that your new submission will overwrite the old one, making it look like your submission has just arrived. If an editor sorts by date (which is the default setting) re-submitting will move your site to the bottom of the list.

so now i've to wait again some weeks or it is a question of days? (if it was moved to another category maybe it's at the end of the queue...)
Thank you for your quick answers!
 

Your site is at the end of the queue because you re-submitted, not because it was moved (see dfy's reply). Your submission to Business was misplaced, and your site wouldn't have been accepted there.

It's not possible to let you know when your site will be reviewed, you'll have to be patient. There are more than 100 sites waiting with yours in that Shopping queue.

ok thank you :)
i didn't know this forums... and i didn't remember if i had already submitted in that directory so i wrote a feedback to the editor and after not receiving any answer i re-submitted... it was my error... i'll be patient.

I'd like to know the status of this submission, thank yoo. I'm sorry if i posted a new topic... but it's quite difficult to find my previous message.
Best Regards
 

Nothing new, it's still there.

but it's quite difficult to find my previous message

When you click on your user name, your profile will show up. There's a link 'Show all user's posts' which is helpful for keeping track of all your previous posts.

You can also click on the 'Favorite!' link in the 'Extra information' box at the end of this thread. The thread will then be added to your favorite threads which you can access from the 'My Home' page. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

How long do you think that I've to wait to be submitted? Only in my opinion, it could be useful to put a tag in each directory advicing about the average time to be submitted in that category... it could be useful not to fill up this board with updates.

If you had read the other posts here you'd have found that there is no 'average time' or timetable. Sites get reviewed when they get reviewed. Even if we technically could put up a post for each category (we can't) it would be meaningless.

This board is only a year old, and it is here to help advise *if* a site is in the queue. Before that you had to rely on the 1 out of 100 editors who answered email.

I just edited a category that hadn't been edited for several months -- I cleared all the sites there whether they were yesterdays or 12 months old -- how could you put a time to review tag on that category?

In the end it comes down to the more help we have, the faster things get done. The problem is there's a *lot* to get done, and our priority is not the same as a webmasters (whose priority is to get *their* site listed).

I'm sure there ae people who are so ecstatic at answering the exact same question from people who not only didn't bother reading the submission guidelines, but ignored the posting guidelines for this forum as well that they would be happy if this communication channel closed as well.

It stays here as a service provided by a group of editors - it is not supported by the ODP/DMOZ/Netscape, but provided as a communications channel for those wanting to know what the status of *their* submission is.

For now, and the foreseeable (on my part) future, this is the best you're going to get. (Or we can go back to no communication at all)

I admire this project and this forum is e precious resource for webmasters... I was only an idea not a critic! And i thought could be possible... editor A reviewed 120 site last year = 10 sites per month, his directory has 100 sites in queue---&gt; Average time 10 months. I know it's only stat but it could help to editors not to receive a lot of mail (in the example i think many webmasters would contact the editor after 8 months waiting).
Anyway all of this was only an idea... don't take my words like a critic (maybe also my english is not so good). I admire your work... and this forum is a GREAT resource.

Could I know the situation of my website still in queue after hundreds of other website or some position higher? My submission was moved in this directory the 28 November 2002... it's about 7 months that I am waiting... have you some problem with this category? (I've submitted other websites after that and they're online on DMOZ now...).
Moreover IMPORTANT QUESTION: Now this website has an ITALIAN and a GERMAN version too, can I submit different home pages (italian home page and german home page) in the Italian directories and german ones or this is spamming?
Best Regards

Multilingual: Submit the same URL with a german / italian description to the apropriate categories in that language. Since the language is easily accessible from the main page, we prefer to list that one.

Thank you for the quick answer regarding multilingual, i will do it today with same url: the index.html page and then will be the user to change his language.
What about status of my submission?
Thank you again and best regards.

Your submission from 27/Nov/2002 03:27:03 MST is waiting among around 150 other sites to be reviewed.

&lt;&lt;it's about 7 months that I am waiting... have you some problem with this category? (I've submitted other websites after that and they're online on DMOZ now...).&gt;&gt;

There is no "problem", editors are volunteer and that category is unforunately backed up. Editors can volunteer as much or as little time as they are able...we do things as fast as we can, but unfortunately sometimes sites must wait awhile before they are listed/denied.

sorry lachenm, we always seem to be playing "beat the clock" when we post (although I love it when I win <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> )
