Reviewing sites is a service we don't offer in this forum. We review sites suggested to the ODP using the onsite URL suggestion feature only. Most likely, your site just hasn't been processed by one of our volunteers yet. You might want to have a look at FAQ: How long until my site will be reviewed?.

If its any consolation we have been trying to get our website listed in the directory for months, apparently it takes a long time, several months even as there are an enormous amount of suggested sites on a daily basis submitted for listing, so we understand.

all i can suggest is keep trying.

All I can suggest. Don't keep trying.
As our guidelines specified: suggest a site ONCE
If you keep suggesting your site you only make the chance of your site being reviewed smaller. You overwrite the previous suggestion. If an editor sorts suggested sites by date your site will be at the bottom of the list, over and over again. If you suggest your site to different categories you might end as being marked as a spammer, which could lead to a ban for you and all your sites.

The problem isn't the number of sites suggested. The problem is the number of worthless sites that obtrude themselves in front of the listable sites. (It doesn't matter how you look for sites: whether in Google or in link lists or in the site suggestion pool--the worthless ones are obtrusive everywhere.

thanks for the above answers. Since i have suggested my site to DMOZ for more than 2 years, but it's not listed now. So i have suggested for several times, and hope anyone can tell me the problem of my site.:eek:

so you may just make certain changes that every one can get their site in minimum time, why you all are not working in this field

Because getting in everyones site isn't what DMOZ is about. We only list sites that fit our guidelines. And to be honest most sites out there don't fit.
