Thanks for your time!

Your site is still waiting for review in Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development: Designers: Full Service: M, along with many other sites.

Besides that topical category, you may also submit your site to a regional category. Those are often less overcrowded. I think Regional: North America: United States: Delaware: Localities: D: Dover: Business and Economy: Computers and Internet: Internet would be the most specific category.

But I thought....

I thought that sites could only be submitted to one category....

"Please only submit a URL to the Open Directory once. Multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites."

I would like to submit to the suggested regional category but I don't want both of my submissions to get canned! Is this a new policy or something?

Thanks....

Yes I know it's confusing but there are two exceptions to multiple submissions.

1. You can submit to one category that is not Regional [we call that a topical category] and in addition to one Regional category that is the location of your business - if your business has a Regional significance e.g. if you do mail order and the address is only a post office box, that's not generally ok - but if you have a retail store than that is ok.

2. If your site is in more than one language - then you can submit for each language [to Wolrd/language] - combine that with point #1, and in theory a site in six languages can be submiited to 12 categories.

Thanks for being considerate -- both reading and following the guidelines. (It's sometimes easy to forget that many people do -- the others so force themselves on our attention.)

The two exceptions bobrat mentions are generally given by editors, and we have no problem with anyone taking advantage of them (in fact, it helps us if they do).

But ... the real excepted exception is: if an editor asks you to do something, it's not spam. We won't ask you to do something that doesn't help us -- and if it helps us, it's not spamming.
