Neither of the sites in your signature are listable. They would have been rejected by the editor if they have been reviewed.

If for example website is not submitted to DMOZ, does it have any chances to be included by this directory?

Definitely - yes. A lot of editors, including me, prefer to find sites themselves.
The submission "pool" is just one way for finding useful resources.

Absolutly. More than half the sites that get added are not submitted.

Hey
wait , may be take time up to two months to listed on dmoz.org

Birdie has exact stats of all of the listed sites and the ways editors are working, so the correct answer is "more than half"

[Birdie]

There was some approx stats published by a senior editor (or staff) a year or so ago that I can not find the source for just yet.

They reported that about half sites listed were not submitted; they also said that of the sites that were subbmitted and were listable, about half were listed within 3 months of submission ---- I can't recall what other stats they mentioned.

I see a senior editor in FZ a week or so ago say that only 10% of the sites that they list were submitted in the first place.

The two sites in your signature would probably have been rejected as not listable.

My site was submitted several months ago. But I haven't heard any feedback. What should I do?

There is nothing more you can do. Get on with your life.

Usually implies that sometimes they do

Do you know anybody who has ever received Rejection or Inclusion confirmation sent by DMOZ?

Maybe you didn't follow their rules.

[sagar.best]

just submit your site and n wait for some months or years it's very difficult to get our site in their list...

DMOZ should not be called as open directory but a close directory. I have .edu site (our school) but it was not approved for 4 years not but a school (a competitors of ours) who is hosted in a free hosting site (geocities.com), they have approved it. I don't understand how they include sites, is it favoritism or what?
