important how much you get traffic from dmoz daily ??

 

You mean directly? 1 if its a good day!

 

No it's not important to me but I get decent referrals from DMOZ daily.

 

I think the only DMOZ traffic I get is from editors.

 

Don't forget competitors who check dmoz from time to time.

 

About 5-6 visitors YEARLY. I am serious. That few.

My sites combined receive about 2500 unique visitors/day.

 

I probably get less than 50 visits per month directly from DMOZ and editors (not me) have added something like 116 entries to my site over the years.

Really DMOZ is only important from a backlink perspective and I think even this importance is waining.

 

The value of DMOZ lies in making a mirror of it and throwing ads on it. There are over 700,000 categories and nearly 5 million links and who knows how many editors. That makes me not wonder why it's a slow lumbering beast.

At the peak my mirror was recieving hits from thousands of search terms (the server crashed so it'll be a bit before it moves back up). I don't think I've ever gotten refered to DMOZ by a search in Google.

It may be that DMOZ is not indexed like most sites are which results in hits coming from people specifically using DMOZ and not from people who got directed to DMOZ by search engines and then clicked on your link from there.

I don't know many people who DMOZ to find things.

 

My GOD really

I was dreaming of 1000 of uniques each day.

 

The operative word there is "dreaming".

 

Means it is not true. And the effor I am wasting to get in is also not going to pay.

Right?

 

That's correct. Put your efforts in other directions.

I recall a time, 2-3 years ago, when the DMOZ category for my main keywords came up in the top 5 listings in Google.

Now, the category is too deep in the SERPs, I have no idea how low it has sunk.

I do think that DMOZ pages have been severely downgraded a while back, hence the shortage of traffic from a DMOZ link.

Recently, Wikipedia pages have been noticeable upgraded in the SERPs. The Wiki pages for my keywords are nearly in the first two Google SERPs.

Not surprisingly, I receive more traffic from Wiki that I do from DMOZ.

 

And I got several listings in DMOZ of my website, it can be days before I get a visitor! Maybe I should change my site content to porn.

 

Or people simply stopped using directories for searching information's and relay on Google and other SE and Wikipedia instead. OTOH search engines probably relay on DMOZ for relevance in some percentage.

I get plenty of traffic from Wikipedia and got tons of backlinks only problem with Wikipedia is that if I create article in order to get backlink Wikipedia article will probably have higher page rank and push my page out first place for that keyword(s) even if I place only small info from my site.

 

Ivan, you don't understand.

DMOZ pages are down in the SERPs, way down. Therefore, DMOZ pages receive fewer visitors, and webmasters receive fewer referrals from DMOZ pages.

 

IIRC people are look for content not directories of links while searching the net so lowering DMOZ in SERPs makes perfect sense - at lest to me.

Problem is as I see it that most of Google generation has no clue what DMOZ is, only webmasters once they start doing SEO find out what DMOZ use to be - so maybe we should get Google to add DMOZ into PSA and display links to categories when there are no other ads.

 

i dnt get much of traffic as its listed in niche category
though happy to be listed at dmoz.

 

i believe how much traffic depends on what category. If you are in a very deep category you'll get less than a site that is a top and 2nd level
