Guest scoot Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 I think I submitted here I am unsure on the location I submitted too, any help would be greatly appreciated
lachenm Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Actually, you submitted to http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Vehicles/Parts_and_Accessories/Wheels_and_Tires , where your site is waiting for review with over 100 others.
Guest scoot Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Would it better for me to resubmit to a different category?
lachenm Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Like the Submission Guidelines say, you should submit to the "single best category for your site" [emphasis added by me]. Submitting to a less appropriate category may actually increase your waiting time, not decrease it. How, you ask? 1. It will take editor time away from other tasks, increasing waiting times for everyone. 2. An editor who sees your site in the incorrect category will likely move it to the pool in the correct category, where it will overwrite your earlier submission. Then, when an editor actually starts reviewing the category, if they sort by date (which is sometimes the case), your site will appear farther down the list. 3. Submitting to many incorrect categories can actually get a site banned from the ODP -- and that would be a very long wait, indeed. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm afraid you'll just have to be patient. Of course, while you're waiting, if you actually want to increase traffic to your site, you might consider creating your own link from the company's main site, which is listed in http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Arizona/Regions/Central/Business_and_Economy .
