Howdy Ya'll, I've never had any sites listed in the ODP so I am curious. If they do list one of my sites, will I be notified in some way, or do I just need to keep checking to see?

99.99% of the time there is no notification from Dmoz that a site has been listed or declined.

Note that there is nothing about the ODP that prevents any random member of the public submitting a site they consider worthwhile. Thus the submitter may be someone other than the webmaster. And the ODP guidelines not only permit editors to add worthwhile guidleines compliant sites that that they find on their own, but such is even encouraged. Editors when the apply for a cat must list sites that they feel are worthy of inclusion. Thus, the webmaster should expect no notification. Also, a site submitted may be listed, but in a cat other than where submitted. It is hardly unusual that a worthwhile site ends up being submitted to other than the most appropriate ODP cat. Thus the site may be listed in a cat other than where it was submitted to.
