When is it time to re-submit?

Hi All,

We run a small business in the UK, a bricks and mortar business (I hope thats not a UK specific expression) we provide accounting software and services. There are no adverts except some RELEVANT link partners on the appropriate pages.

I submitted our site (possibly twice) back in 2005 but we are still not listed even though I followed the sumission guidelines to the letter. The site was smaller back then and I realise it could have been rejected.

My question is this - should I resubmit it now as I understand that you do not notify us to say it's accepted or not, all I know is it's still not in there. I don't want to just wait incase it was rejected then, but would be accepted now, conversely I don't want to resubmit if it could jeopardise my chances of inclusion.

Advice please

Thanks
Steve

NO. If you suggested the site there is nothing more you can do.
Most probably the site is still waiting review. No need to suggest it again.
Another possibility: it was moved by an editor to a more appropriate category. Nothing wrong but also no need to suggest it again.
And last possibility: it was rejected (you can know if a site is or will be rejected by reading the DMOZ guidelines)

So provided I remained within the guidelines it will not be rejected ?

It would be extremely unusual. (Mistakes do get made.)

I trust you suggested it to the most specific regional category that contains the place(s) of business, and then to the most industry-specific subcategory? (If not, it's not unreasonable to suggest it there, despite any previous suggestions.)

And yes, even though those of us on the other side of the pond generally use more advanced building materials , we still know what bricks-and-mortar means in this context.

If you have a site that does not fit what we list under Sites Generally Not Included and that has enough unique content (read Sites to Include I can't see a reason to reject it.
