    If somebody has got their site in DMOz then you may help me in answering to my request-
    Just visit my site and see if it can be accepted by DMOZ.Well it has original content and the theme is HYIP.
    Make any suggestions please
    Should I add more content before submitting the inclusion request or is it ok to submit it now?

    The only person who can answer that question is the editor who reviews the site if and when it is submitted. That could be any editor at any time.

    Find the category where your site belongs and examine the sites that have been listed. This gives you a reasonable idea of the standard required to be listed. Since you do not know which sites are waiting for review and the quality of those (your competition for an editor's attention), your target should be to at least match if not better what you can see - the best site already listed in terms of quality and quantity of content.

    Your topic is inevitably highly competitive and a spam magnet so your submission must stand out by being easy for an editor to pick out as worth looking at. Those who submit guideline compliant titles and descriptions are at an advantage even though that means putting the brakes on the normal marketing speak. Even so be prepared for an exceptionally long wait though the advantage of the exercise will be that your site will improve in quality and quantity which should reap its own rewards unrelated to DMOZ.

    What will you do if somebody says it hasn't?
    Why not do that anyway?

    I did look but the content is way outside my comfort zone so I don't know if it is sufficient or not. To make a better judgement I would have to look at all the existing listings and compare. Anyone can do that and since you have better knowledge of the business your view as to whether you have sufficient quality and quantity is probably more accurate than anyone here!

    Given how long a review is likely to take (years), and DMOZ criteria can be quite stringent in terms of insisting on original content in copious amounts, comparing your site to those already listed is never a waste of time - you never know what tips you could pick up to improve your site.
