Submission Mistake

lee808 · May 31, 2010

Dear Sirs. I submitted my site to the Open Directory (URL Removed) over 3 or 4 months ago now and would like to ask, is there any reason it has not been added ? have i done something wrong in the submission process ?
I feel my site has as much to offer than some of the existing sites in the category, if not more !
This is the category I submitted to, http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/T...huap_Khiri_Khan/Hua_Hin/Business_and_Economy/
Would be great to hear your advice.

Kind Regards

As the announcement at the top of this forum says, we haven't provided status reports for several years now.

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.

There are 2 posisble reasons:
1 (the most common): it has not been reviewed yet
2 (it happens): it was rejected (the DMOZ guidelines describe which type of websites will be rejected)

For more information please read the FAQ (link at the top of this page)
