Length of submission

Hi,

Is there a way of seeing when I submitted my website, I know I should have lept a note!! As I am sure it was just under a year ago. Would love to know what to do as there always seems to be conflicting advice, submit again...choose another category...the category I choose was right for our website.

Obviously an editor could choose otherwise, so thats why I need to know how I can find out when i may have submitted...

cheers

Sorry, there isn't.

The only advise given by editors would be: do not suggest again.

And what would you do if you knew the date you suggested the site. It wouldn't change anything. You suggested the site to what you think is the best category. By doing so you have given DMOZ editors all the help you can give. Sometime in the future an editor will look at the suggestion. The date it was suggested has totaly no influence on this review.

Many thanks for that...can i ask though if DMOZ keeps everything so quite and secret why do people bother with DMOZ? I don't wish to be rude, but if they cannot tell me when my submission was, or when it will be looked if ever...as that is what it is looking like...why does everyone hold it in such regard?

If DMOZ was a business if wouldn't survive with the lack of customer service it provides.

don't mistake this as a complaint...these are just thoughts

Well, your thoughts are not in line with reality.

The product that MOZ delivers is a human edited directory.
It's customers are the people that use the directory.
The people who suggest sites are not DMOZ customers.
If you don't know when you made a suggestion, then that is really your fault. The volunteer editors volunteered to edit, not be your adminstrative assistant.
Finally, the reason no one gets told the status has been discussed time and time again in this forum, and it is not going to change.

The Open Directory has its respect, because it doesn't do what webmasters want.

So much of the web is purchased placement, purchased views, purchased search result subversion, purchased perspective, purchased promotion: website visitors are nothing but commodities to be bought and sold and persuaded for some ulterior motive.

The Open Directory doesn't sell its visitors to anyone. That means it's worthless to people who buy and sell visitors: they don't respect it; they hate and despise it.

The respect comes from elsewhere.

I knew I shouldn't have pondered...Thanks for the answers...I shall wait like a good little boy, until the humans review..

There's lot to learn from this forum....:icon_idea
