And I suggested my site in the correct category...

I'm just simple Real Estate Agent in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada - nobody special. My site is good, but not great, again nothing out of the ordinary.

However my website, <url removed>, has not been listed to date. It's just a little frustrating.:(

Did you also read our suggestion guidelines which require that a website be suggested once to the one best category? You said you had.

What about this forum's subtitle ?
Forum for discussions about the process of suggesting a site for inclusion. General discussion only, no mention of specific sites here please
How about the Announcement: Discontinuation of site status checks at the top of this forum?
Just below it is Important: Note: These threads are NOT for Submission Status!
It's just a little frustrating.
From where I'm sitting, it's extremely frustrating :(.

You might have misunderstood our objectives and how we operate here. ODP is a volunteer organisation building a directory as a hobby. Editors edit where they wish, when they wish and as much as they wish within the constraints of their permissions. We have no schedules or systems to force people to do work that they don't volunteer to do. ODP is not primarily a free listing service for website owners and it does not attempt to process their listing suggestions within the time scales desired by them.

Some volunteer will process your listing suggestion in time but we can't predict who or when that might be. Elapsed times can range from a few days to a few years. There is no need to re-suggest your website and doing so could be counter-productive because a later suggestion overwrites any earlier one.

Thanks Jim

I should have read more than just a quick read of the Faq's. I did not understand dmoz was all volunteers. Thanks for all your help. I can be patient.

I did not discover this site until today. Unfortunately that means I had submitted my site many times in the past which is also probably slowing things down.

The two facts are completely unconnected.
Many people manage to read and follow the suggestion guidelines summarised above by jimnoble, without ever having heard of Resource Zone.
