Sending notice to the site itself is a good first step, but often it's necessary to send the DMCA notice to the webhosting company - if you haven't done that, do that next.

The webhosting company must take action upon notification ... taking down immediately or, with some providers, giving the customer a chance to respond with a challenge to the notification; not required ... a webhost can take down immediately upon DMCA notification, and many do.

On a related note, DMCA is a U.S. law ... foreign based hosts / sites often ignore DMCA notices, though some will still abide by them, especially if they have lots of U.S. customers to avoid raising the ire of U.S. authorities.
