Hi Seo-guy,
Quick DMOZ question for you, One of my sites is listed in a real estate category by it's town instead of the Region like I would have liked. They service the entire Pocono region but this particular site is listed in Hamlin PA (population 7 where the office is located. All their competitors are listed regionally for the Poconos. Can I get this changed or do you think it's more trouble than it's worth? I guess my question is...what would Seo-guy do in this situation

Hey Seo-Guy! Are the DMOZ submissions done on a regional basis? I was wondering if there is an expected time frame for real estate sites or if it is a reflection of volume of submissions in a region?

OK I just submitted a new site and got a 404 error. Do I resubmit or will they think I'm spamming

Rich, My experience has been that submitting later in the evening goes alot faster with fewer errors. I'm guessing that's due to the volume of submissions. I would resubmit on the 404 but there's a forum where DMOZ editors will respond.

Don't tell anyone but I know someone who is an editor there <----- a Hhmmmmm ..... But I STILL was denied my listing (asked in that special forum with my "webdesigner hat on") and the nice folks there wouldn't tell me why when I asked about the log remarks next to the denial... they claimed "many are for lack of orginal content" ... I think I got shafted.... Obviously I have tons of more work to do on the site - who doesn't right? but still... Anyhow. A bit disappointed at the particular dmoz editor right now.... Sorry just had to vent... Anyone have Orginal Content I can borrow..LOL (J/K)
