ODP Question

How to tell if a site has been submitted?

[Jane_Doe]

Is there a way to find out if a page has been submitted to the ODP? I think I submitted a page the other day, but when I looked at my log I didn't have a note of it. I don't want to submit it again if it has already been submitted.

Any advice would be appreciated.

If you know the category where you think you submitted to, go to resource Zone (search in Google or read this Forum charter [webmasterworld.com]) and ask there.

Notice that if you don't know/remember which category you submitted to, you're not likely to get an answer to your question. In this case, your best move is to resubmit in the most appropriate category for your site. If you already submitted in that same category the other day, your new submission will overwrite the previous one, but since it's just the other day you submitted, you'll have no negative effects. And no, this is not considered SPAM, unless you don't resubmit every day in every different category you happen to think you would benefit from a listing. Choose the most appropriate category for your site, and submit there, then wait patiently at least one month before asking for your submission status to editors.

Also, if your site represents an entity with a physical ("brick and mortar") location, and this is clearly stated on your site, you may want to submit in the [Locality] category under the /Regional branch where the entity represented is located, too. Double listing Topical/Regional is accepted and encouraged.
