I tried to submit my sites lot many times in DMOZ.org but never got
them listed. My sites were all geniune having PR4+ and enjoying good
ranks on Google for various popular keyword phrases. Can someone tell
me the reason why my sites didn't get listed in DMOZ then.

Some possibilities:
- The category editor logs in about once a month and doesn't have time
to look through everything.
- There is no category editor.
- There is a new category editor, and that person is working through a
backlog.
- You submitted the sites to the wrong category and the editor hasn't
had time to see which category they should be sent to.
- The sites are incomplete in some way.

DMOZ ask you specificaly to suggest a site ONCE to the ONE best
category.
Suggesting a site to the same category could make you have to wait
longer if an editor reviews sites by date they were suggested.
Suggesting a site many times to different categories could be seen as
spam and yiou and all of your sites could get banned

None of them are relevant for a DMOZ listing. DMOZ is only interested
in unique content. If you don't have unique content you won;t be
listed.

Most probably because it still is waiting review.
Some suggestions will be reviewed within a few days but other might
need to wait several years. Noone can predict when a site will be
reviewed.

If you submitted a genuine site with unique content, you will
probably get listed one day, but it can take a rather long time
if that category does not have an active editor or the editor
has many categories to work on. BTW every category has an
editor, they just may be listed higher up the hierarchy.
Providing a good and objective description can also help,
because you are creating less work for the editor.
