Not waiting in Full Service. But an editor did move a misplaced submission out of [cat]Business/Financial_Services[/cat] into [cat=Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/Basic_Service/D]Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development: Designers: Basic Service: D[/cat] where it's awaiting review. If you don't see it listed sometime in the next six months, please feel free to return for a status update on or after 13 March.

...it gives me a "Forbidden" Page.
A known issue. Technical staff is on it.

I see no change in status since the last report.

You may ask again in another 6 months.

Do we know if there is a backlog? This is a 6+ month old submission and the status has not changed.

By definition, the unreviewed pool is not a backlog. It is merely one of many opportunities.

But true, many opportunities knock for far longer than that.

You can but is there any point? It will not speed up the listing if and when the site is reviewed and found to meet our criteria. It will tell you if it has been rejected but not why (policy). It will tell you if it has been moved to another category. You would be better off forgetting it, maybe checking the category every so often to see if it has been listed, but focusing your efforts elsewhere - if it ever gets listed it will be a bonus but contrary to popular misconception it will not suddenly turn your business into a super-performer - if all listed and unreviewed sites were taken together that would make a pile of 50,000 web designers, which equals a fair few search engine pages and makes you a fairly small needle in a haystack.

I can't see which part of New York you are in, but if you find the locality category in the Regional branch for your neighbourhood/town you can suggest the site there as well without it impacting on the existing suggestion.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Hello Oneeye

Thank you for your suggestion. At the same time I was reviewing the process of getting listed in the DMOZ directory. This would include learning about what not to do. With some of our clients we provide basic search engine propagation. This would include being listed in ZEAL if appropriate. From my experience there are benefits of being listed in dmoz, the directory is used among many sites.

Thank you.
