I submitted my site to DMOZ about 3 weeks ago and I know that's not enough time to get listed but if I don't see a listing in how long should I submit it again? :confused:
#dmoz #submit

    From all that I've read, DMOZ is a luxury that you simply cannot force. I know it's not too much help to you, but every time I see this subject come up, the consensus seems to be to submit and forget. If you are set on re-submitting I think a 4-6 month delay is fair without seeming over-zealous, but it is hard to tell b/c much depends on the category submitted and the particular admins in charge of it. Not to mention the DMOZ conspiracy theories about the admins there/etc. Hard to say. I should be an admin Good luck!

      I never submit to DMOZ, too much crap in there. Eventually it's probably going to be frowned upon by G

          All directories are going to become less and less relevant... I have dozens of sites ranked #1 that have never touched DMOZ... I just don't see the point in being on there.

            One DMOZ link alone will get you a PR2 value is what I've been told.

              People don't care much about whether their site listed in DMOZ or not although every one wishes to be listed there.

              The reason behind this lack of interest is because of uncertainty about listing of their site in DMOZ. For instance I've submitted all of my sites to DMOZ after carefully selecting the right category for each of the site but non of them listed yet.

              So it's good to submit to DMOZ but don't care much about it and if you are really curious to be listed then wait 5-6 months and if not listed then re-submit again.

          I've submitted my site a handful of times over the years and still haven't been listed.

    Yea DMOZ takes forever...

    I would try to find and purchase a domain with a dmoz link already and forward it to my domain.

    I think it depends on the niche. For long term authority sites it is a big plus. I have a site I plan to submit once I do a little more tweaking. There is a forum for DMOZ that might help with your question about how long to wait Resource-Zone

    I really think DMOZ editors are people with too much time on their hands. UGH. Could you even imagine doing that?
