      Hello I need help with Dmoz inscription. I have been following 100% the regulation from this directory. Using not promotional language, not repeating the title  in the description. Posting in the right area.

      but nothing after a couple of months.

      any thoughts?

        Hey,

        It depends on lots of factors. Just be patient 🙂

          one of those factors being if an editor is even looking at your category. just keep resubmitting and don't worry too much about it.

            as an editor... I look at the category I manage 🙂 and believe me. sometimes depends on something else.

              Hi Instvan,

              What other things can it depend on?

              Provided that we submit with all of the correct information (as per guidelines) and there is an editor on the category what else can make the approval take longer?

              Much thanks,
              Davinia

                Hi Davinia,

                I will tell you a case of mine, so you know what I have been thinking about when I said other things. The category that I manage has two editors. We had a new submitting and the other editor picked it up, but wrote a note next to the website... then, although I found the website good and DMOZ ready (as per guidelines) I had to wait and see what the other editor have seen, why he didn't approve.

                Now if you are waiting for months then it could be:

                1. the editor is slow 🙂
                2. the category doesn't have an editor (why don't you apply to be an editor there?)
                3. the editor found something that is not 100% as per guidelines

                If someone is resubmitting all the time I usually double and triple check the website before approval. Although I am an online marketer, I am also a DMOZ editor and you need to know the DMOZ is not set up for SEO purposes only. 🙂

                I hope that helped and good luck with your website.

                Greetings,

                Istvan
