    Hi,

    Is there anyone who can ensure me to submit my sites to Dmoz?

    Submitting is the easy part and you can do that (although you will need to take more care with the spelling and grammar when you submit). Getting approved is the hard part and NOBODY can help you with that. You have to submit, and go focus on other parts of your business.

    I know it is very hard to get listed in there. That is why I asked if there is anyone who is capable of getting the site listed there for sure.

    Editors are the only ones that can list a site and they usually do not respond to a request for a site review. Even if you contact an editor here, most likely he/she does not edit in the category your site belongs. Best bet is to submit and forget about it. If it has good content, it will get listed, eventually. :)

    In all seriousness does anyone know of any 'tame' DMOZ editors that will list sites for a 'donation'? I'll realise you'll probably not want to post any info here so can you PM me?

    If you think that doesn't happen you're seriously naive.

    I might be naive but I do know that site owners who make offers such as yours do get their sites banned. At this moment it is likely that there is a handful of editors using a variety of tools to identify all domains that you are affiliated with and tagging the domains. These guys and gals deal with cheating scumbags all the time and are very good at this sort of thing. Expect your ODP listing(s) to disappear when the pages regenerate, and don't waste your time resubmitting any more sites.

    I think I'll take my chances. There's about a chance in a million of getting listed legitmately anyway.

    Another porn distributer trying to buy his way into ODP. I'm shocked, shocked to find out he was in the smut business.

    To whom are you referring?

    Actually, if s/he IS indeed "another porn distributor", the real shock is that s/he hasn't already succeeded. This isn't just DMOZ, remember - this is DMOZ Adult. :rolleyes:

    I was referring to MattUK.

    And I've never had a bribe attempt. Probably because I'm not listed in Adult. :eek:

    That is the reason that you don't understand Adult section. ;)

    Corruption is the accepted practice and the norm in adult section according to DMOZ editors own statements. :)
