As a guideline (not a rule), once a Site has appeared as a Site of the Month, it is normally not repeated. Exceptions tend to be charities, or where a site has been so extensively overhauled that it is 'completely fresh'.
The main problem with the Archive of Sites of the Month, is that the Web is a transient medium. An excellent site, may become outdated, declined into a Ghost site where the owner has effectively closed the site, but left a closure notice page, or the owner has sold the domain and the site has changed character completely, or the site just disappears from the web.
Therefore occasionally, I carry out an audit of the Archive and if a site is either no longer suitable, or just not available, I find a near alternative, or if the site was exceptional, for one reason, or another and has been archived by Wayback Machine, or similar Internet archive, then I change the URL to point to the Archive.
