If your site gets listed in dmoz does it goes to all the sites that uses dmoz database. I seen lot of sites thats under same catagory same as dmoz . And btw how many days it takes a site to get listed in dmoz ? If my site gets listed in dmoz how many possible backlinks i can get ? i have a intention of getting 15,000 backlinks in 1-2 months. Is it possible please suggest i am new to this SEo. thanx
1 - It will be included in all the DMOZ clones thta keep up to date with the dump. 2 - Impossible to say 1 hour to 2 years 3 - Easiest way to get 15000 backlinks is to join the coop
1) depends on when the other sites update. 2) how long is a piece of string - don't hold your breath. 3) who knows - does G even count links shown in dmoz clones ? If you're determined to get 15000 IBL's in 1-2 months, don't wait for dmoz . You've certainly got your work cut out. The co-op will/may help, you've certainly set a goal that is going to keep you very very busy - either that or you've got a lot of money.
Posted by D4rkNull I had 1 site get listed in 8 months - still waiting for my other site. There are some members of this forum that have been waiting for years.
My private site has been online since some time in the 90's - it's still not in dmoz. I think I submitted it once years ago - never heard nothing from them, so forgot about them. I now submit sites if/when they go fully live. It's upto dmoz if they list them, I couldn't really careless whether they do or don't. But it doesn't take too long to submit a site, so I submit it - just never check whether it's got in or not.
If you need the back links from DMOZ (The only thing DMOZ is good for) , here is my posting on how you to get it in couple of days. Get DMOZ listing fast
This works best, submit and forget. If you watch your logs, one day you might see some new traffic, and it turns out it got published. Those huys that wait exactly six months to ask again at resource zone, are much too obsessive, there are better ways to spend one's time. (Submit and forget) That's what I did before I was an editor, and that's what I still do now that I'm an editor. I have sites that have been sitting for over six months, and I had one I submitted a month or so ago, and I suddenly saw some access a few days ago. And ignore the suggestion about buying dead links, they are routinely weeded out. Then you get tagged for being sneaky, and it might be difficult to get in again.
forget about dmoz, they arent worth worying about. Just submit, start a status thread ( so u can get your 6month timer started early) and work on other stuff. If you get listed have a great day but dont expect it..
ST: Tell you what - you tell me the url I submitted from and I'll go and do battle in RZ I don't even note down submission url's for new site's I submit - nevermind ones I submitted way back. Having just found one of my sites effectively 302'd (using a refresh in a directory) a slagging match in RZ might just cheer me up. The 302 isn't on purpose (that I do know) but how I'll get rid of it is another matter I'm still trying to find an emial address for the directory. If all else fails abuse@ might work.
Why the slugging attitude - it may make you feel good - but it won't solve your problems. Submit an update for the URL, and then ask in RZ, more likely to get the results you want, on the other hand if you want a fight ....
I would say pulling a scam on dmoz..infact the entire internet is the last thing thats going to make your site/business/clients happy. very unprofessional.
Are you by any chance a DMOZ editor? The whole DMOZ is scam and you must know, how famous the DMOZ editors are for being corrupt. To complain that some body tries to find a way to get around the corruption, is the same as a theif complains that people have no morals because they won't let him to pick their pockets. If DMOZ made any effert in any way to clean up the corruption and improve it's business methods, I am sure people would not need to find ways to defeat them.
Here we go again... another DMOZ thread turning into a bash session. The thread starter had a simple question, and many have provided answers. Can't it just be left at that?
I agree! Those comments should be on this blog or whereever more of a difference can be made if it really is that important of a subject matter.
My original posting was about how to get a DMOZ listing in couple of days, The second posting that you quoted was just an answer to Solicitors Mortgages post that thought such methods were scam. I do not think so and I was trying to explain why. Because of the whole situation with DMOZ corruption, their business methods and the fact that nobody in reality is using their directory and it is only good for back links, I think the method I described is both acceptable and preferable to waiting for couple of years, or never for such listing.
