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:
- the editor is slow
- the category doesn't have an editor (why don't you apply to be an editor there?)
- 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

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

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.

Hey,
It depends on lots of factors. Just be patient
Greetings,

Does Localeze replace the need for manual verifications?
I work with a lot of clients in the insurance industry. For many of them, local results are their best chance for showing up on page one of search results for these competitive keywords. I've been looking at signing them up for enhanced Localeze accounts to help increase their structured citations. Is Localeze an effective solutions for claiming structured citations, or is manually claiming listings more effective? Thanks in advance for your help!

Need feedback: Should we move our blog from blogger to our e-commerce site?
Hi, I write the blog for an e-commerce site that sells swimwear www.allwetbeachwear.com. The blog is currently a blogger blog that lives off the domain. I have always thought that having a blogger blog for the site looked unprofessional yet might be good for SEO since google owns blogger. However recently we are making SEO improvements and want to create more internal links to keep up with our competitors. I am thinking an on-site blog might be good for SEO. What do you recommend for the best SEO results for our site? -keeping on blog hosted on blogger -creating a new blog on our e-commerce platform -hosting the blogger blog on a subdomain of our ecommerce site Thanks!

Guest blogging tips needed!
Hi, I'm about to start guest blogging for the first time, I have a particular keyword I want to push up, it currently sits page 2, position 1 and I would like to push this up into the top 5 results. The 5 results I need to jump past also happen to be my main competitors, but I don't think they are activity link building for this keyword as url's are not SEO friendly (containing query strings), meta descriptions don't have the keyword word exact. So the solutions is link building with anchor text links from relevant, auth websites. The method I want to use to achieve this is guest blogging but as I am just starting out on the guest blogging front does anyone have any tips on how to find good blogs which will help? I found a website called myblogguest.com but the blogs on there dont seem that great, I have been doing a few queries in Google to try and find them instead such as; "write for us" keyword then researching the blogs with the SEOMOZ tools. Cheers

Multiple Dmoz categories?
I'm looking at a competitor who outranks me and I see that some of their top links are several links from different dmoz categories. Is it common practice to get into several dmoz categories? I always thought you could just have your site in there once!
