Clarification Needed Regarding Submission Process

 

Thank you for your reply. I remain confused about this process. Again this morning, I submitted my request to the following URL:

 

http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/add.cgi?where=Business/Financial_Services/Insurance/Actuarial_Science/Clubs

 

Does this now mean my submission is with dmoz?

 

Your earlier comment stated you "are not google". Please clarify your statement. I am extremely new to this form of technology and trying diligently to understand your reference.

 

Many thanks for your patience and assistance!

Your submission should have made it to our system now. Please give us a month to work on it now. If you don't find your site listed in that category after a month, feel free to come back to this forum thread, and we'll tell you the status of your submission.

 

We are not Google. We are the Open Directory Project. Our site is http://dmoz.org/. There you find our directory. Other sites are free to use our data on their own pages. The most prominent one is http://directory.google.com/, but their data are always a bit behind (some days or weeks). Any sites that you submit using the link on bottom of a Google category page are not submitted to Google, but to us. We review them. If we add them, they will first be seen on our category pages and only some days or weeks later on Google.

 

I hope I have given you some insight. If you have further questions, feel free to ask here. Maybe read the list of Frequently Asked Questions (and answers).

 

Yours,

Robert
