Thank you.

Just in case you cannot find that listing in that directory...

I believe I listed it in the directory below and at that time (over two months ago) there were approx. three indiviual listings there. I see there are no longer individual listings there and hence am I second guessing myself. ( I do keep records of my submissions, but lost this one when I had to reformat my OS last month. I apologize for any inconvience this may cause you).

Just to clarify [in case anybody else reads this thread]

- the ODP search is still not working.
- your site has not been listed in ODP

Ahh...

In other words the search page on www.secondsite.biz had nothing to do with the www.secondsite.biz being found in the DMOZ.

Now, you say the ODP search is not working. Can you lend any further insight to www.secondsite.biz being included in the ODP without using the ODP search?...are you implying the site may already have been included?

Thanks.

I think you are very confused about this and I doubt the following is going to help.

We are talking in this forum about ODP http://dmoz.org/ - you are talking about google http://www.google.com/

You keep saying you are listed in ODP - you are not and never have been, you have never been kicked out since you were never in.

The ODP search is the box at the top of http://www.dmoz.org/ aand is not working right now

The g:eek:gle search is http://www.google.com/

You get into Google in many ways, that are mostly off-topic to this forum. However one way is if some other site linked to you. Such as this list of sites that links to you

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=link:KV2ZqNVK6oIJ:www.secondsite.biz/

Then there is the Google directory (more here ) - http://directory.google.com - that is a copy taken of ODP data, Google uses ODP data just as many other companies do. But Google is not ODP and ODP is not Google. See here. We have no control of when Google copies the data. In your case it doesn't matter since you were never in ODP, and therefore were never in the Google directory.

Google and ODP are two separate organizations.

Clarification

My apologies.

- on www.secondsite.biz there is a google powered site search.
- that site search was not running until today.
- I had the impression that www.secondsite.biz was a rejected submission because this part of the site was "under construction".

I have activated that internal site search and am optimistic that if www.secondsite.biz was rejected because the "site search" was no yet operational, that this would no longer be a factor impeding www.secondsite.biz's inclusion in the DMOZ.

From the sounds of things, no one in the ODP noticed www.secondsite.biz's google powered site search was not yet working...

True: nobody here had yet reviewed the site, so nobody had noticed that the google site search wasn't working.

what to do?

I understand the ODP is human edited and it has rules.

At this stage however, our site would benefit from a review and I'm wondering if there is an appealing way for me to say, "please review my site". I would gladly submit it to another directory which may even be more relevant as hindsight is 20/20 (i.e. new content, more developed service today than 6 months ago).

Is there a way I can do this? Is the log jam on account of choosing a directory with an editor that is overwhelmed?

Thanks. Any guidance most appreciated.

No, there is no such way. If there were, 1000 spammers would be using it three times daily, in addition to the three decent folk a year who stumbled over it.

The minimum re-request interval has now been changed to 6 months, which would put it somewhere around December 10.
