    The effect will be your listing will be denied because it was submitted to the wrong category.

    probally rejected cos it would make the other listings look really bad and make the editor look like he aint doing his job.:eek:
    can take months, years to get listed - no body knows :confused:

    As Ron Popeil once said "Submit it and forget it"

    Been waiting 2 years on mine, have resubmitted per their instructions, made revisions, cleaned things up, submitted again, and again... never heard a word, never been listed!

    Reasons for not being listed...

    • Improper Submission
    • Improper Category
    • Not considered important enough
    • Too many listings in the Category already
    • Editor doesn't like you
    • Editor doesn't like your site
    • Editor's site is in direct competition with yours
    • Editor's sleeping on the job
    • Editor's bribe to list you wasn't big enough
    • Editor's got too many sites to go through
    • Editor's not present for that category
    • Etc. Etc. Etc.

    One really doesn't know why they won't list you sirjx, because they never tell you why they won't list you! And, if you're lucky enough to find an editor and try to pin him down on the subject, he usually turns irritable, and defensive, and for that matter offensive!!

    Good Luck!
