Why Dmoz directory listing is not approved fast?

[westbrook]

Each DMOZ listing is added by a volunteer, by hand, the old-fashioned way. The number of active volunteers is relatively low. That's why the listing is not fast.

Another fact that adds to Dmoz's value as a web directory listing, is that Dmoz.org state on their websites that they will not accept automated submissions, or directory submissions submitted by commercial companies selling 'directory submission services'.

One of the main reason is, People never submit their sites to the relevant and exact categories. Also there is a additional benefit from DMOZ, if its listed in any particular category, your site may get that extra $$$ while selling it. Most of us submit our site to any random directory and end up with a rejection.
