Site Submission Status of http://www.foreclosure4sale.com

Hi, I submitted my web site http://www.foreclosure4sale.com under the category:
http://dmoz.org/business/Investing/Real Estate/Foreclosures
about Six calendar months ago.

Since then it does not come up in a search of dmoz.org. I would appreciate it if you would check the status of it .

Thanks,
Raheel.

Waiting there, having been submitted in late June.

Well the late June is my 3rd try in this regards the, and how long i wait.

We don't know, it's kind of out of our experience. Editors don't "wait", there's always something for them to do. Sites do wait -- whether submitted or not, we don't get to all of them immediately. Submitting a site DOESN'T make it get reviewed faster, but keeps us from overlooking it when we're building up that category.

Are they Really Busy Enough that they forget the real business...

The real business? What listing your site maybe? It may be listed in 2 minutes, 2 years, maybe longer. It might one day be rejected instead. Who knows, we don't. Yet. Sorry.

>Are they Really Busy Enough that they forget the real business.

No. The real business of the ODP is cataloging information.

Commercial sites are a very small, unimportant, peripheral part of that work -- one of those corners where someone else can actually do a better job.

And reviewing submittals forms no part of an editor's job: it's merely a tool that may sometimes be used to provide ideas -- often distorted, often biased, often downright perverse, but occasionally helpful -- for actual editing actions that actually improve the usefulness of ODP categories.

And then, indexing information is only a small part of the broader world of the information interchange that includes creating, transcribing, and spreading information (and where ODP editors might also be active.)

And of course, most ODP editors have their own real job. ODP editing is rewarding, but not in a renumerative sense.

Don't ever get the idea that an ODP editor's "job" is "processing submittals."
