Re-Submitting Website procedure

Hi,

May I know is there any additional steps if I want to re-submit my website to the same category or a different category?!

My website <name removed> had been submitted 3 months ago since June 2008, it has not been listed in DMOZ yet. I'm thinking to re-submit, or perhaps to change to another category?! Because I know the category editor was running a website in a same category, not sure is there any other factor would affect the decision making!!

Is it true that the website ranking will have the positive impact on the processing time in DMOZ?! In fact, this website was operated since June 2008 and jumped from Alexa 14mil position to current 1mil plus position ranking. I think it's a positive growth...

Your advices are highly appreciated... thanks in advance!!

best regards,
Steve D.

First of all: Please do not siubmit to a different category than the apropriate for any reason. This only leads to your suggestion being moved back to the other one by an editor, causing needless workload.

Apart from that, please have a look at FAQ: How long should I wait before I resubmit?

No. Who said that?

Processing time depends mainly on editor activity in the given category. Which is - in a volunteer organization - quite a difficult thing to calculate. See FAQ: There's no editor for my category - will my suggestion ever get reviewed? and FAQ: How long until my site will be reviewed? for a few more details on this.

Any useful way of finding sites will find many sites, most of which aren't useful or relevant. The editor has to dig through them looking for sites that might be relevant.

So, wherever your site is, it'll be competing for attention with lots of sludge. What shortens the wait is: standing out from the sludge.

However your site is found--whether it's #35 of 500 site suggestions to ODP or #215 of 15000 Google search results or the advertisement on page 51 of Smithsonian Magazine--make sure the snippet indicates what subject the site is about, and what unique information it has. That way, when an editor looks for that information, your site will jump out of the sludge.

And, of course, it helps to be providing information that an information junkie would be likely to look for. Generating another website on "Las Vegas Hotels" is not likely to attract editor attention no matter how it's presented or promoted.

Thanks much!!
