    i don't mean to brag..... yes i do :)

    I submitted my site to Dmoz about 3 days ago and it is already in the directory!!!

    the site has a ton of content on it but I have submitted over a dozen sites and useually it would take MONTHS and MONTHS basically to not be listed

    why was this listed so fast?

    Congrats! However, it really means nothing. I got listed back in March and it has done nothing for me. in fact, it does not even show up as a back link in Google's webmaster tools. As for traffic, I got a couple of visits from editors but no real traffic.

    Hate to burst your bubble but except for the novelty value, you are way too excited.

    :(

    In any case, the fact that an editor listed your site may have nothing whatsoever to do with your own suggestion. If the site is as good as you say, it is entirely possible that an editor found it through some other means and decided it would add value to a category.

    As we keep saying, looking at site suggestions is only one way that editors find sites, and many of us rarely use that resource at all.

    thank you
    yea i know it probably won't bring me much if any traffic and probably wont even improve my ranking, but still i'm suprised it was included at all, saying none of my other sites are in there

    Outside of this being able to make this thread, you'll get few other benefits from the inclusion. But congrats any way :)
