    Follow the instructions and then the only thing you can do is wait. I have had sites added to categories that were added within a week (seriously). I had others submitted in categories and I was still not in there after a year time and after contacting the category admin.

    It is very dependant on how busy the category is and the admin behind it. Some just seem to be plain lazy so if you hav bad luck then you gotta wait.

    Because of these problems DMOZ is by far not as important anymore as it used to be. So I wouldnt worry too much about being included or not. It is not like 5 years ago where you really needed the DMOZ entry to go to the top in google.

    Submit it once and forget it. They may list you....they may not. Nothing you can do about at all except move on.

    I have read many horror stories about getting a website approved in the Dmoz directory. So I tried to get my new site listed about Voice Broadcasting and it only took about 2 months. I am new to all this SEO stuff so the SEO gods where looking after me I guess.

    I got listed on a few other directories but they do not show up as backlinks like it does from Dmoz.Can someone explain this to me?

    I've had a site listed within 2 weeks, its luck of the draw really depending on how soon an editor reviews the submission.

    One of my sites was listed within 2 months. And one of my other site is still listed but, the domain is already expired and the hosting is terminated ..think about how efficient the editor in charge of the category is.

    Don't hold your breath and forget about being patient - submit your site and forget it. If you get listed, great. If not, take solace that millions of great sites are not listed on their directory.
