I meant, how much time DMOZ takes to get approve submitted website in his database as a Approved Back Link. Can you help me please?
We don't know. 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.
Hello Jim Thanks for your reply; but do you think a new website have the equal chance to be approve than the older site " waiting few years " ? Regards
I'd hesitate to use the word equal because some editors sort the pools awaiting evaluation by suggestion date order. I don't. Also, some types of websites such as forums, blogs and directories need a bit of age in order to achieve acceptable levels of content. For example, I wouldn't list a forum with only 10 posts - all by the administrator- or a blog that's only a month old. OTOH, I'd list a new website with authoritative new information about the history of the Picts in a heartbeat.
And yes, I have noticed that you are one of few active person with ODP. Whenever any issue occurs about ODP, Jim is there. Wish other Editors too be like you. Seems you have felt the real pulse.
I entered my site in a few months ago and have heard nothing. It's as if I tossed a stone into a black hole.
As often said, it can take from a few days to a few years for an editor working in their spare time to volunteer to deal with that section. What do you do with your spare time, criticise those who spend it listing DMOZ sites?
As an editor, it does seem that you are the flip side of that coin... you seemingly spend a lot of spare time in here criticizing webmasters rather then contributing to the end users of the ODP. Maybe if there were more nice editors around the place(s) that discuss the ODP people would find it a pleasure to wait...
cannot predict that dude, can be a week, months, depends on how many editors working for the category that you applied for.
It can take years. I wouldn't spend so much time worrying about DMOZ and rather I would build backlinks from other sources.
