I submitted our site to the ODP a while ago (few weeks). And I am wondering on the status of the listing.

Thank you,
Chris

[readme]Please read the guidelines[/readme]

and post in the format as requested there.

Also ensure that a few weeks is in fact at least a month.

Do I need to resubmit my status question?

Do I need to resubmit my question in the format you requested or just reply here?

You just need to be more patient. The submission has been received and is awaiting review.

Question on Checking if my site is listed...

I know that my site is still under review. But, how do I check if my site is listed. Do I just do a search for the URL of my site? Or do I just go to the location I submitted and look for it?

Sorry for the dumb question.

Search for the url, e.g. type in abc.com def.org, etc.

This works for most, although sometimes will not work for long URLs like abc-def-ghi-jkl.com

Going to the categroy does not always work, since it may have been accepted but moved to another category.

This might need to moved to a different subforum...

I have been looking at the subforums and I am think that my site status request might be better placed under Site Submission Status\Shopping. Can you move this thread there? Or do I need to do something else? Also, I want to note that there has been some changes in the web site that was submitted for http://www.networkcablesonline.com there has been the addition of FAQs and articles.

Thanks,
Chris

There is at least one, and probably two copies of that suggestion waiting for review in that category. Do not resubmit the site anywhere outside Regional.

You may ask again in another 6 months.

Please forgive but what do you mean by: "Do not resubmit the site anywhere outside Regional."

Also when you say: "You may ask again in another 6 months." Does that mean that the previous 10 months don't count? So, a total of 16 months? Are you guys that much back logged? Do you need help?

"Do not resubmit the site anywhere outside Regional" means that you should not resubmit your site to any topical category, because your site is already waiting for review in a topical category (Computers: Hardware: Cables). If your site were relevant for a Regional category it could be submitted there. This would be the case if you also had a local store where one could go and buy a cable. But it seems that you don't have one.

We do not know when your submission will be reviewed. If may be tomorrow, it may be next year. Editors are not required to review site suggestions by order of submission. There are many sites waiting for review, so it might take some time. It doesn't make sense to ask for the status every month, so we ask you (and any other submitter) to wait six months between status requests. But maybe your next request will not be necessary, because your site might get listed in the mean time.

Thank you very much for clearing up the Regional question. Makes total sense.

And thank you for clearing up the inquiry question as well. I understand. I think what you guys are doing is good work. I really do appreciate the work you guys do to provide links to quality web sites rather than letting any spammer web site to be listed. I will be patient and will inquire in another 6 months.

I actually do use dmoz on a regular basis. It helps me find information better than other web directories.

I have tried to apply 3 times, 2 times I got good responses as to why I was denied but, I never heard on the 3rd time. It is possible to apply too many times?
