Hello jeffnova
Back to the topic. No doubt - good post. But - there is one "but".
Almost all the listed advice are reasons one listing to be
delayed, not
rejected. There are a lot of editors - including me - which have habit to delete immediately site title and description provided. As frederrick pointed

. Thats why I - and part of us - prefer to check the sites without being "influenced" by other description.
Why Most DMOZ Submissions Are Rejected?
1. Lack of content.
2. Lack of content.
3-9: - same -
10. Dont accomplish to our specific Guidelines./mirrors, content mills, MFA, MLM, and so on.
But if submitters follow frederick's advice - their submissions can attracts editors attention

Not true. I know tens of editors, and everyone of them will confirm my words about.

Probably you know why we dont provide status check. If not - 99.95% of the answers will be "still awaiting evaluation"
We need editors. Yes, we do. We stated this in more than 1 000 000 subpages of dmoz.org. And all of the sites using our data must have this tiny "Become an editor" link.
