Yikes. No chance to expedite it? Are there any better catagories I can submit to for it to get a quicker look.
Thanks.

No chance to expedite it? ---> No

Expedite it? Haha, I'd love to go in there and delete it (but I won't) since it's folks like you who encourage the hijacked domain problem we have at ODP.

Re: Submission Status - http://www.expiredtraffic.
Your lack of understanding about the domain deletion process shows. And you erroneously use the word hijack to describe the situation.
You only get to use a domain if you pay to use a domain. If you don't pay for the name, and it drops, or is snapped (etc.) by someone else, you don't have a claim to it. You had a claim to it, which you surrendered by not paying.
If the domain was stolen from the owner, that's one thing. But names that aren't paid for go back into the pond. People always seem to act like a domain name is theirs whether they pay for it or not (be it one day or many months). This simply isn't the case.
If you start a physical store and it gets lots of people coming to visit, then you stop paying the rent, they are going to kick you out and someone else is going to take that location. That person who gets the location after you is going to make money on the fact that your customers knew where you were located. That's the way business works offline, that's the way it works online.
If you have a trademark, then you can sue them. Otherwise, if you don't pay, then you don't own it. How is that different than the real world?
So please quit with the fallicious remarks, and learn to acknowledge this as a useful means to generate revenue and income.

From your page http://www.expiredtraffic.com/index.php?page=domain_veteran:
"2. Yahoo/DMOZ/Looksmart Directory Checking, v1.0
·This script allows you to instantly check directory listings for an unlimited number of domains you upload or submit via a text-box on the members site. Each site on your list is rapidly queried against Yahoo, Dmoz and Looksmart and the results will show which expired domains are listed within these directories."
You therefore promote the selling of expired domains which are already listed in ODP, helping your customers to easily find them, and clearly suggesting that subverting the original site's content they can earn money: in the same page it's written: "The revenue that can be generated from expired domains using PPC partnerships, bulk traffic services and affiliate programs... The efficiency of expired traffic is that domains with even 5-10 visitors/day can produce great revenue streams over the course of a year through the placement of targeted affiliate programs and traffic aggregation services (ie. Allclicks.com, Clickthrutraffic.com).".
You are right, this is not domain hijacking, this is plain and simple content switching, which is something that defeats the very purpose of the ODP in reviewing and categorizing sites based on their content. We work hard to find and delete or move to the appropriate categories sites who switched their content, either because the owner decided to or because someone else bought the domain after it has been dropped from the original owner.
Thus, your offer, and the suggestions given on your site, do make our everyday's attempt to categorize sites based on their content much harder.
Or are you telling us that you suggest to your clients that every time they buy an expired domain they should submit a category change request to have the "new site" placed in the appropriate category based on the new content? I don't see this written anywhere on your site. Instead, you clearly show the "benefit" of being already listed in ODP (as well as in other SEs and Directories) as a means to make money after changing the original (previous) site content.
So please quit explaining us how the domain deletion process works and what does it means, and learn to acknowledge this as a legit way to generate revenue and income by tricking Directories and Search engines. Other Directories and SEs are not our business, of course, but the ODP is.
Since we do delete, and in some cases blocklist, sites/domains which are found to be already listed in the ODP and switched their content to a completely different one, I don't see why we should list a site endorsing this practice, no matter whether it is "legal".
Oh, and welcome to the world of Directories, which is somewhat different from the Real World.
