    You just need to be patient. However, a couple of your sites look more like ad billboards than content sites. This might be a problem getting an editor to accept it.
    For good or bad, a lot of the people editing DMOZ categories are old school internet. As such, they want to see that a site is all about content and not all about getting click throughs on ads.

    We certainly don't want "all about getting clicks on ads" sites. But sites with ads are acceptable. We just mentaly blank them out and look at what is left on the site. If the remaining is enough unique content the site will be listed.

    I'm not an editor, but a few observations:

    I can help but notice that every link, not site, you submitted goes to pages and not the site ...

    Every site and page that I clicked was full of ads and my pop-up blocker was having a hayday stopping things.

    As pagode very graciously and politely pointed out, most Editors don't seem to worry about some ads - but come on, this is way more than some.

    I'd personally suggest that you study not just the guidelines setforth by the ODP for submission, but also some of the sites listed within the categories to which you're submitting for inclusion.
