I have tried over several months to get this site listed. It seems appropriate for two categories neither one has been accepted. I did not submit to both categories simultaneously. The first category was Top: Business: Financial Services: Mortgages: Directories. When I didn't get in after a month or two I tried Top: Business: Real Estate: Information: Mortgages. Neither worked. Any help is much appreciated.

Neither submission have been touched. If your company has a "brick and mortar" location, you can also submit to the Regional category, but you won't be able to get two different listing under the Business category.
 

You say it hasn't been touched. Is that because it just hasn't been reviewed yet? Is there a team within ODP to ensure that every category is getting updated on a somewhat regular basis. I am not looking to get into multiple categories, I am just looking to get into one. Is there anything I can do, or am I at the mercy of ODP?

The only thing an editor can tell about a certain URL is it's edit hisory: when and if it's been published, deleted, moved or commented upon; none of the things have happened to your URL. An editor could have reviewed your site, and not even added a comment to it, but that's unlikely.<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr><p>Is there a team within ODP to ensure that every category is getting updated on a somewhat regular basis.<p><hr></blockquote>Nope. The all editors are volunteers, and there is no minimum time commitments required of them. Of course, there are many editors who are very dedicated, but there's also a lot of unreviewed sites, and there's a lot of time drains on an ODP editor besides reviewing submitted sites.<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr><p>Is there anything I can do, or am I at the mercy of ODP?<p><hr></blockquote>I don't quite get what you mean. When you submit to any directory (or other human managed collection of links) you're at their mercy; they're who controls what goes in and when. Or do you mean that you're so much at the mercy of some other directories, because you can pay them for inclusion, but with the ODP it's entirely up to the discretion of the editors?
