If I suggest a site and don't appear in specific category, How much should I wait for trying another category or re-submit again?

How much should I wait for trying another category
You already suggested it to the one best category. If you then suggest it to thesecond or eleventh best category, you're just making work for yourself and the volunteer editors - who will merely move it back to the one best category to await evaluation.

or re-submit again?
This should be unnecessary. Be aware that a re-suggestion overwrites any previous suggestion in the category - thus pushing it down to the bottom of the list (if the local editor works in suggestion date order). One re-suggestion after a year would guard against accidental loss. More could be counter-productive.

And that does NOT mean that the editors said that it is OK to suggest your site annually.

ONE additional suggestion is more than sufficient -- more than that is abuse.

It's not necessary to suggest your site repeatedly. Once is all you need to do.

I don't think, category ... has huge evaluation queue.

Basically, you're speculation about something that (1) you have no way of knowing and (2) is irrelevant.

Reality is, entertainment categories get LOTS of made-for-ad-banner spam sites: the entertainment field is basically made for/by advertising. So your basic assumption is quite possibly wrong.

But what does it matter how many suggestions a category gets, anyway? There are billions of sites on the internet, and EITHER (1) all of them are on your topic, in which case your first assumption is definitely wrong, or (2) some of them are on OTHER topics, and you're expected to permit the volunteers for reviewing them anyway.

In either case, your uninformed speculation is no excuse for violating the submittal policies.
