Since one year I have been trying to suggest my website URL to ODP, even I have suggested URL for most exact category matches to my website but unfortunately till now it is not appearing in ODP. Is there any issues with my website or technically not sound. How do I come to know the reason of failure that my website is not getting added in the ODP. Please suggest ...

Hello soniatul11

It seems you misunderstand the nature of the Open Directory, which is not a listing service, so there is no way you can "get" your site listed.
You have suggested it, and one day it will be reviewed by a volunteer, but nobody can say who or when that might be.

Please read the FAQ linked at the top of every page in this forum for more detailed answers to "Questions about suggesting your site to the directory".

I notice that you said you have suggested your site to the "most exact category matches", so I wonder if you have read the directions to select the single best category and suggest your site once?
A 2nd or even 3rd suggestion after several months is OK, in case you made a mistake the first time, but repeated suggestions to multiple categories can easily be regarded as spamming.

If you had read my post, and the FAQ link I gave you, you would no longer be asking for something we do not give. ;)
