I submitted a site to the Native American Jewelry catagory many, many months ago and it has been ignored. Why? The site is number 37 (SERP) in a Google search for "Native American Jewelry" because of its great value to Internet users, yet the DMOZ editor for this catagory has ignored it. Can anyone tell me why? Adress is <removed>

You might have misunderstood our objectives and how we operate here. ODP is a volunteer organisation building a directory as a hobby. Editors edit where they wish, when they wish and as much as they wish within the constraints of their permissions. We have no schedules or systems to force people to do work that they don't volunteer to do. ODP is not primarily a free listing service for website owners and it does not attempt to process their listing suggestions within the time scales desired by them.

Some volunteer will process your listing suggestion in time but we can't predict who or when that might be. Elapsed times can range from a few days to a few years. There is no need to re-suggest your website and doing so could be counter-productive because a later suggestion overwrites any earlier one.

Thank you Mr. Noble,
I had no idea that editors volunteer their time. Now I understand and very much appreciate the work you do. Thanks for your info. SpiritWindWalker
