Thanks for the rant, complete with its unconventional capitalisation.

 

Some volunteer will process your listing suggestion in time but we can't predict who or when that might be. Elapsed times can range from a few days to a few years. There is no need to re-suggest your website and doing so could be counter-productive because a later suggestion overwrites any earlier one.

I Have Submitted My Website 12 Time To DMOZ

You have made your first steps to be noted as a spammer.

Although you acknowledged each time to have read them you may have misssed the DMOZ guideline "suggest a website only ONCE to the ONE best category"

I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.

Simplest means - if you or Google finds it in dmoz.org, it's listed (you can even set an alert with G) - if not, and it meets the sites to include guidelines, then it's awaiting review by an editor.

The delays are both variable and unpredictable, as editing is a hobby. :)

Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. Hopefully, one day my site will make it in then. :)

Good day!

 

We have a site is almost 5years and submitted a few times too, we have just re-built the site with very much better presentation and contents <url removed>, we found some Vietnam sites in our field of travel can be even much younger than us but still be listed, so just do hope that if the DOMZ editor will take some times to give us a chance of listing up on this reputation directory,

 

Thanks and best regards,

 

Phuc Pham (Mr)

Did you read the answers we have given on questions very similar to yours?

Those answers are still the same and apply to everybody who suggested websites to DMOZ.

 

For all people:

Please do not ask for a status of the websites you suggested.

Please do not aks for any special treatment for your websites.

O, and please do not suggest a website more than once.

I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.

Yes. As you see, sites aren't reviewed in order of age. (And think about it. How could they be? If you were about to review a site you'd somehow found--whether in Google, or suggestion pool, or in printed advertisement--how could you be sure there were no older relevant sites that hadn't been reviewed? How could you be sure there were any other relevant sites that hadn't been reviewed, since you have to review a site to determine whether it's relevant?

 

For all practical purposes, the order in which sites are reviewed can be considered random.

So, a competitor then could submit one of their competition's websites a dozen times so that the competition is noted as a spammer?

No. We are smart people and do notice such behaviour.

 

And as far as I know it has never happened that someone tried to get a competitor banned in such a way.

Why? Very easy. He would have to spend a lot of time over a long period. What would he gain by spending so much time for one website. There still would be many other competitor websites listed. It would have been much more productive to spend all that time on his own website.

I wonder why it is so important that a reference in the catalog?

Сatalog itself is good and if the site is good, then it will be no problem.
