DMOZ editor posting to listing

DMOZ listing?

My logs show that an editor has added my site to DMOZ. However, I'm yet to see it in the directory. Can someone (a DMOZ editor?) tell me how long it takes from a DMOZ editor posting to a DMOZ listing.

TIA,

How can you tell they posted and didn't just review it?

The only thing your logs can show you is that an editor visited your site. Only that editor knows for sure whether it was listed, deleted, moved to a more appropriate category, or simply left in the queue after that.

Yes, you are right. But can someone tell me me the time lag from an editor posting to a dmoz listing? I notice that the bottom of the DMOZ listing in my category shows the last refresh date as a date in early Nov.

TIA,

I always thought it was near instant. It may be thrown to a new cat though. All you really know it was looked at and AFAIK was not listed during that review.

The public side of the directory is updated a few seconds or minutes after an edit is made in that category. Sometimes there may be a delay of a few hours for the change to make it through.

However, the ODP search function is only updated after a successful RDF dump; so don't get confused that your site shows in a category, but cannot be found in the search yet.

Additionally, dowstream users of ODP data, such as Google, take a copy of the RDF on a random basis. Some update every month or two, others on a larger timescale. Some users have never updated from the RDF dump they took three years ago or more.

The RDF dump looks fixed as the search results are coming though dated Tuesday, so the easiest way is to search for your site using the search function.

The RDF failed, check it by visiting http : // dmoz . org/rdf/ as the search date does not reflect the RDF.

I'm not at all sure why you said that. I cannot see new results at all:
