Submission Advise

Hello;

I know that you guys are very busy and get frustrated when someone asks you for a submission status, (since it is documented all over the place that you no longer support that function).

I am not asking for submission status just need to know if you have my submission request under Computers/Internet/Web Design and Development/ Hosting: N

I have been trying to get this site listed on DMOZ for 3 years and continue to make changes hoping that whatever is preventing the site from being listed is fixed. With no feedback, I really do not know what changes to make, I made sure that the site meets all of your requirements (posted in your documentation). Anyway, sorry to bore you, thats my frustration talking.

I would very much appreciate if you can tell me if <url removed> is in the queue to be reviewed in the future by an editor or do I need to resubmit.


Regards

Ken

We do not provide status checks here. Looking to see if this site is waiting for review is a status check. See the FAQs

Sorry, I am not asking for a status check, I just need to know if my submission was received.

There seems to be a semantic barrier here. What you are asking is one of the things that WE include in the class of things we call "status checks." We don't care so much what YOU call it, so long as you don't DO it. I hope that clears that up.

There may be another source of confusion, though,

We really only have one requirement: significant unique informational content.

(1) "Significant" -- for a business, this means "something more than fits on a business card." It's not a very high barrier. If a site tells about a business -- basically, what some person (or association, "company" of persons) does for money -- then that's significant enough.

(2) unique -- the site is the only site that tells about that person or people.

(3) informational content -- as opposed to promotional puffery, mission statements, and other vacuous verbiage. (Vacuities don't count pro or con, the editor will get past them to the information if possible.)

That's what it takes to get LISTED, if and when it's REVIEWED.

What does it take to get REVIEWED? An editor volunteering, on his own initiative, to review it. Which is why nobody can tell when a review will happen. Business categories are generally not among the most exciting and important (to volunteers, of course) than other categories, so it's likely to take longer (perhaps a lot longer) for an editor to decide to work in a specific business category. But that's not something you have (or ought to have) any control over, so there's really no "need" at all to have more detailed information (if we had it, which we usually don't.)

Like I said, I will wait for the listing to happen.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my request.

Regards
Ken
