Here is a question for odp editors and if it has been asked before please accept my apologies:
Since the quickest route into ODP has been regional>localities>etc if our site services multiple localities (for example new york, chicago, LA) should one apply for a regional listing in each city or is it a big no no to try and be listed more than once? Looking forward to the answer.:) :umbre: :ladysman: :tongue:

No. If you have a physical presence (i.e. a store, etc) in any given locality that's where you will be listed. If you present information about any given regional area, you will be listed at the broadest level possible (i.e a site about the United States would not be deeplinked in every state category, but would be listed once in the US category).

In 99.99% of the cases, a site merits only one listing in the Regional category. However this all depends on the kind of content your site has.

From the contact info on your site, I'm guessing you're located somewhere in Calgary, therefore your site would be eligible to be listed in Regional/North_America/Canada/Alberta/Localities/C/Calgary/ (http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/Canada/Alberta/Localities/C/Calgary/Business_and_Economy/Computers/) .
