DMOZ visits but no indexing.

Hi,

I have found the following URL as a referrer in my traffic statistics:

http://editors.dmoz.org/editors/editcat-unrev2.cgi

which takes me to a protected page for DMOZ editors.
Does it mean that some editor in DMOZ visited my page? I requested DMOZ to index my website Human Level Communications six months ago, but it does not show in the index yet. This has been the second time that I have found a similar referrer in my statistics. I would like any advice to make my site show in DMOZ. Thank you!

if you need to know how your site is doing in Dmoz which can take a while if the category is busy, you can check submissions at

http://www.resource-zone.com/
just register and you can find anything you need to now about dmoz

A DMOZ editor definitely visited your site. Visit the category that you submitted to and see if it is listed. If you're not in there after 6 months from the time the editor visted, then chances are that your submission was not accepted.

You could have also been moved to a different category. Do a search for your domain name and it may come up. The search facility is not updated regularly, so it's possible to be in the index but not showing up using their search.

I do suggest, though, that you pose your questions to the resource zone, their forum.

Just a little post to tell you that today, at last, a Google Alert discovered my site listed in DMOZ. I don't know whether this thread had something to do with it but finally we were included in DMOZ. I think we have good content (at least, many websites have published our articles, both in English and Spanish, WebProNews included) so I don't know what went wrong in the first time. I didn't visit resource zone neither submitted my site again. If some of you, guys, had something to do with it, thank you.
