Ladies and Gentlemen I was just wondering if I could get some help in finding out how my website is doing in the approval process? I know that its a volunteer program and to be patient but I was just curious and couldnt sit back any longer. What timeframe could one wait for a travel site to be approved? What could I do to improve the time or help in the process? My appreciated Save-A-Buck-Travel
Save A Buck the only one who might, and I stress might, be of help is the editor of the category where you suggested your site. Try writing a polite note. You may get a polite response.
I've heard rumours of bribes to get in, but wouldn't advise it myself. As I said previously, it takes months if not years to get in nowadays.
I have had 2 wbsites indexed by DMOZ in the last 3 months. Its all about following their guidelines to a tee
... if ur Category has an editor it will get listed in time , but if its a category without an editor just forget about getting it listed...
Nonsense. That a category doesn't have a named editor doesn't mean that nobody does or will ever edit there. A large portion of the work is done by editors from the parent categories plus the 200 odd who can work anywhere they choose. Very roughly, there are about a hundred times more categories than there are editors so the huge majority don't have named editors. I cleaned up around 15 so called editor-less categories yesterday .
