    No. The suggestion guidelines say that you shouldn't and you wouldn't want to be mistaken for a spammer would you?

    You can submit any kind of site to DMOZ, but the problem is that whether they will approve your link or not.

    And several deeplinks not accepted may mean your site is treated as spam and banned. Submit as Jim says.

    what was said was only your official lies guys :) and I love to hear them again and again . ONLY lies was told before and with sure you guys will continue this way ... so what reason shall I have ??? well maybe a strange feeling about the TRUTH .... who knows ... maybe a strange need for it ... anyway ... I`m just hope somewhere deep in my heart all this lies and '' deceptive advertising '' will be put on right light . Differences between the guidelines and what it's listed on the directory are too contradictory and need to be pointed out how much times it's necessary till this garbage will be clean . TOOOOOOOOOO much spam ;)

    @trustnobodynever:

    I don 't often respond to your posts because, frankly, I find them very hard to understand.

    It seems that you are confusing our Suggestion Guidelines, which forbid the external suggestion of deeplinks, and our Editor Guidelines which allow editors some discretion. Even with that editorial discretion, deeplinking is rare in commercial categories and even rarer within Shopping.

    Hope that helped :).

    Gotta admit that even I agree with that. That's what the original poster asked. That's not what things wind up as but that does answer the poster's original question.

    In the first place, you can submit as many times as you want and whatever you want. The question is whether DMOZ editors will list your site or not.

    They use to say you can't submit more than once. And they assure you failing to honour that rule will get your site banned. But they use to say that submitting more than once won't get your site banned.

    Yes, I know, you are getting a little confused about this. I'm sorry, they do that on purpose in order to be able to run their business. If you have enough time and patience, and read enough posts in this and other forums about DMOZ. You will see how it works. They have a set of rules or guidelines. They use them as they wish according to their needs. In example, they already told you, "you can't submit more than once". And that goes for listing more than one URL from the same site. But, if you take a look to DMOZ you will find several sites not meeting that criteria.

    When people ask DMOZ editors about such contradictions they start talking in circles. They fail to say anything substantial. You start noticing that guidelines applies to certain sites only. Guidelines restrict your web sites, but same guidelines allow sites owned by DMOZ editors an related people to be listed all around DMOZ hundred of times.

    In the end, the only way to understand what's happening here is knowing about corruption claims. Well, in the last four years or more there were several claims about corruption. DMOZ editors won't do anything about it: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1501398

    You can suggest a site every minute, but be assured not for long. People complain that we take for ever to review sites, but when we ask that only one submission is made and people start submitting more, editors have to deal, at some time, with those sites and delete them, it takes our time. How many times one needs to submit to get banned is also at our discretion, but if you are desperate enough to try to get a site listed by offering it several times, do you want to risk getting a life ban and increase your chances of listing not a whit?

    Yes sites do have deeplinks, check the BBC (can you tell me which editor that belongs to?), but editors decide if that is to happen NOT people who suggest sites. We will pick up a site that is good enough to deeplink. If you clearly break our guidelines do you really expect us to list you? Guidelines for suggesters, only do it once. Guidelines for editors, deeplinks are the exception if the editor thinks they are warranted.

    But perhaps fundamentally
    we don't run a business, we have a hobby. We work in our spare time and we receive no payment, some editors do abuse their editing position, you can see them posting vitriol on here and they get booted. We want to list sites useful to surfers who want sites categorised and we do that categorisation out of our own knowledge and interest, much the same way that people collect stamps of a particular country because they know something about the country or the stamps.

    We have no interest in any extra value our listing might give to the site, we build categories for surfers and therefore we are not a listing service. We clearly say that we do not undertake to review suggestions in good time and that suggestions are just that suggestions. How Google or any other downloader use our work is up to them, it is the Open Directory Project in that all our work is open for anyone to use free of charge, provided they give attribution.

    That post seems to be off topic for this thread - or in other words, spam :(.
