    IMO you should forget DMOZ. It's ok to gain a link from DMOZ, but your site can live without it.

    What site did you submit and what category did you submit it too?

    If you are just here to complain, then your thread contributes NOTHING to Digital point. If you actually want to know an answer, then help us help you!

    I agree, the threads like that are annoying...though from the looks of many of them it's obvious why they were not accepted. I mean, if they are unwilling to share the URL of the site and just want to complain, I'd wager the quality of the site is not worthy of linking too in a thread about it even.

    I've only got one site in DMOZ and I never requested it to be added, so kinda funny.

    That's because many editors look for sites outside of the suggestion pool to find content rich quality sites to add to the directory. In fact it can often take less time looking for quality sites on your own rather than sifting through the mud of unreviewed sites. :)

    Not funny. Half the sites that get added to DMOZ were never suggested in the first place

    I'm not looking up your cat to see if it has an editor or not...as if there is no editor, then there is nothing that'll really help (cept maybe an editor :) )

    Though, http://www.naxos-rooms.com/Rentals.html] is blank. If I were to check it and that was the first link I clicked on (which it was) then I'd have hit the back button twice and rejected it. other then that, I don't have room to judge, as heh, I didn't bother reading anything else (other then to see if other pages were blank).

    I'm not saying that filling in that page will lead to inclusion, just saying that may be a factor.

    <rant>
    What ever was the point of suggesting two darned near identical websites on different domain names to the same category in defiance of the submission guidelines which prohibit the suggestion of related websites?

    Did you think that nobody would notice the adjacent almost identical KW stuffed descriptions?
    Did you think that the guidelines could be safely ignored?

    Sheesh, yet another example of the net based travel and tourism industry justifying its well earned reputation. And people wonder why editors prefer other sectors.

    It's not a matter of other sites, it's not a matter of your other pages. You are lacking content, end of story. if an editor checked your site, and randomly clicked a link and got a blank page, then that would be grounds for 'under construction' or 'lack of content' or any other number of things that make editors not include sites based on blank pages.

    If that page has been blank for a year now, then how many of your pages had nothing when you submitted?
