I also submitted my site (signature) back in November 2003, I believe. When it didn't appear a few months later, I followed the DMOZ guidlelines and posted on the board, etc. I did get a response from an editor who said something about it taking a bit longer, or similar - I can't remember exactly what. I replied, thanking her for her follow-up, and waited, and have ever since. Sometime about mid last year I resubmitted, figuring things were well past appearing by then, but still nothing. I can't find anyting wrong with the site, it's certainly not in a category that's overdone - ecotourism - and the service that we offer is not offered by virtually anyone else, as it's a specialty field with specialty knowledge. Our clients generally are very appreciative of it when they find us, and we have a very high conversion rate, so we must be what some people want. We have all the right things - emails, address, 800 number that gets answered etc. No broken links, spammy anything, and lots of good information. The thing that concerns me to a large degree is not jsut not getting in, but the complete lack of information as to why. If there is something that DMOZ requires of the site that we're not doing, we'd be happy to either do it, or in the slim chance that it's something we don't want to do, then accept that. But just not having any idea is very frustrating.
We know we offer a useful and unique service to people looking for our expertise, and don't understand why we're not a good fit for DMOZ.
