DMOZ not approving my site?

I recently submitted my pokemon forum to DMOZ, it's been a week and it still haven't been approved. How long does it usually take?

 

DMOZ says a couple weeks or longer. They do not accept all sites so there is a chance that it will not be approved at all. I've seen it take a month or so too. Different categories can take different lengths of time too. Some of the editors take longer than others. Good luck!

 

It will take a while before they accept a site

 

How many members does your forum have? How many posts/day does the forum get? Unless you have a lot of both, there is a good chance it will be rejected.

 

If you read the stickie at the top it will tell you that we do not set out to be a listing service, you have suggested a site, thank you, but it is only a suggestion. When an editor decides to work on that section it will probably get reviewed but that could be from a few days to a few years. We do not advise the person who suggested the site if it has been used or not at the review. You have now done everything you can to promote your site at DMOZ and no further information will be given about that particular site. If you want to check if it has been listed then put your site, minus www, into the search box at DMOZ and press the button.

 

DMOZ indexes only quality site...so all sites are not included...it takes time

 

Unique content is how we see quality sites. Age, unless its a forum, directory or the like, does not count neither does PR or if the site has all the latest gizmo's, how it is constructed cuts no ice, unique content rich sites are what we look for.

 

some sites even get approved after half year. but get deleted soon too.

so what you can do is just wait.

 

DMOZ sucks, it takes long time to review a listing. submit and forget is the best policy for DMOZ

 

Here let me break it to ya... gently

It usually takes "months" to be reviewed and listed, providing your site is worthy of being listed in the first place

Submit & forget... then submit to other directories and other methods of building links

Dmoz has been included my site, but I do not add "www" in front of the URL. which do affect the promotion?

 

i already submitted my blog link in Dmoz and waiting for the approval..

 

If they are the ones in your signature, assume that they probably got rejected.

 

I think it takes about 3-6 weeks. Sometimes even more.

 

YES! SUBMIT and FORGET.lol DMOZ only include HIGH QUALITY websites. If you think that your website is a high quality website and you think that it can pass the DMOZ editors guidelines then submit on it.

 

HAHA they mostly don't approve.

 

sometimes it takes 2 month
but sometimes it takes forever
don`t expect to much and start submit to another directory

 

It will take take depending upon the categories, as different categories have their own time of giving approvals.. But it will come since you have already submitted.

 

Totally depend on the Category Editors..I say...

DMOZ usually takes months to approve a site, so you need to wait.

 

Keep an eye on your site's referrer stats. If a DMOZ editor visited your site to review it, the dmoz.org URL will appear in your visitor stats report.
