Guest Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 I have been trying to get my site listed for several months and have had no success. I have submitted my site to the following section, which has an editor listed, http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Beauty/ I had tried this category also since I had no response with the one above since I also carry items that fit in this section too. http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Home_and_Garden/Decor_and_Design/ I have waited about 4 weeks between re-submitting the site. Any information would be appreciated.
Meta hutcheson Posted November 26, 2002 Meta Posted November 26, 2002 No review yet. Both categories are pretty backlogged, and hard-pressed by stealth affiliate spam. No promises, but be prepared to expect long delays.
Guest Posted November 26, 2002 Posted November 26, 2002 Thank you for your reply and information. Should I continue to re-submit the site at 3-4 week intervals? I was not sure if the older requests were looked at after a certain time. Also, someone from dmoz looked at my site on the 17th of this month, is there any way to tell if it was being reviewed at that time? Thank you.
Meta kokopeli Posted November 26, 2002 Meta Posted November 26, 2002 Resubmitting a site when it is already in unreviewed just makes more work for the editor and increases how long it takes to work on a category, because someone must then delete all of those duplicate submits in order to leave one copy in unreviewed. In addition, sites are usually reviewed in the order they come in and it is possible your earlier submit could be deleted with a more recent submit left in unreviewed--which would then make it that much longer before your site is evaluated. I know it is hard, but try to be patient--it will be reviewed at some point, but beauty is a very popular cateory and receives a lot of submissions. Your site was just submitted on 01/Oct/2002 09:08:54 MDT so it hasn't been that long. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Guest Posted November 26, 2002 Posted November 26, 2002 Thank you for the information. My site was submitted in August the first time and the only reason for re-submitting was because the information section at dmoz about submitting sites says you can re-submit or contact the editor of the category, which I did with no response, after three weeks if your site does not show up. Thank you again for the information and checking on my site, I will wait for the editor to get through her backlog of sites and not re-submit.
