>>If I submit it twice though will I not be at risk from it looking like I have spamed ODP? I dont want to risk not getting listed.
I don't want to encourage double-submitting in general, but when the first submission was in a not-remotely-right category, there's no problem at all (in fact, it might even help the editors) to hunt up exactly the right category (or even almost the right category) and submit again.
Twice to "remote" categories isn't really spam--in fact, I think I'll say it is hardly ever spam. (Of course, most of the time you probably won't get two listings out of it.)
Half a dozen times to "nearby" categories WOULD really be spam.
