I personally feel that dmoz is a fixed directory.

I have already updated the URL with the appropriate content.

It is not a matter of removing, it is a matter of adding: Adding the requested ODP attribution. You added and removed everything else -)

Look, we're not here to handhold someone through the process of making their site listable. This thread has already gone beyond where it should have stopped so I'm closing it. princepatel, please do not post about your site in this forum again.

princepatel, the forum is a place for discussions (well, of specific topics.) If you think surfers would find unique content at a site, you may "suggest" it at the appropriate category in dmoz.org. That is a much more efficient and effective way than posting in forums. So it does nobody any harm that such posts simply aren't allowed in this forum.

As to the site itself:

If the best that you can say about a site is that it has great "design, domain age, google pr, alexa rating, customer reviews...", then it's doomed, doomed, doomed--at least so far as the ODP is concerned.

We're looking at the content. "Unique Content" is absolutely all that matters: and by that, we mean "information that isn't available anywhere else on the web." With very few exceptions, if a site has that, it's listable, otherwise not. (It may have run afoul of one of the exceptions. And, of course, if so, nothing, nothing at all, not even a single-digit Alexa rating, can save it.)

Off-the-wall question: has any editor ever checked the Alexa rating on a site under review? And if so, WHY?
