how my site Listed In Dmoz ?

Half truths & lies anyone?

DMOZ does not have 3000 active editors, and I know you meant to say PAGES not SITES. WAAAAAAAY too many editor owned deep links (some put in by bots not editors anyway) to say anything else.

 

Correct! There are lots more than that

Happy New year to you.

 

There is no verifiable proof of that...

And don't bother to point to the main page, *I* am still listed as an active editor according to those statistics

 

There is no verifiable proof of that.

Now where did I hear that expression recently.

 

OK, Ok... ya got me. So tell me, how many active editors are there Mr. Editor without a profile. Funny that you are an editor without a profile and I am a non-editor with one. Goes to show how the ODP works don't it... I have nothing to hide, and look on the front page of the ODP, and see just where the lies start...

 

Twas not I who denied the statement and said it was not true made by a Meta editor, the burden of proof seems to be on your shoulders as you made that statement first.

One of those statements made by yourself must be a lie, perhaps all statements!

 

That Meta editor is known for his dishonesty including getting banned in this forum for being dishonest and opening multiple user accounts. The real number of active editors is about 200-300 but it is hard to know since many of these people also have multiple editor accounts in DMOZ.

 

but now it is I that is asking for the true and correct answer! How many active editors are there?

I am asking you to correct me... if you somehow KNOW I am wrong, then you simply must KNOW the answer... right? If not, then I am correct by default, or you have nothing to base your argument against (other then maybe TROLLING).

So please, either correct me with the correct answer, or don't bother at all, as it means nothing coming from someone hiding themselves and spreading lies....step up for once and back up your claims!

 

Wow a lot of people are passionate about DMOZ! Yes I could start my own directory site but why would I want to?

 

Within DMOZ we try sometimes to establish how we would count active editors. We do keep lists of editalls + so the number of people who can edit anywhere is well documented and is over 200. If we count all editors who have been active in the last 4 months some will be time out when the period is up. The truth is that to the last editor we do not know because it depends on how active is interpreted, but it is in the area that I indicated and JimNoble agreed ie in excess of 3000, but we don't do a daily count we have better things to do!

But do tell me how you made this statement, Q.

A figment of your vivid imagination, like most things you post on here or just that you made it up. Tell us how you know that as a fact or was it a lie?

 

If you have better things to do then count, and it depends on individual meanings for active, then HOW CAN YOU CLAIM I AM WRONG!

 

How can you claim you are right. You offered that information as a fact. It is like all you say a figment of your imagination and a lie. You had no evidence to make that categorical statement, like most statements you make in my experience.

 

Life is short ! Happy New Year !

See you guys again when I get the time.

 

Evidence? You want evidence? When I offer something as evidence in anything else you come in and say it's not... for instance, completed transactions on sites like scriptlance for ODP listings with positive feedback is NOT evidence for paid links... so what kind of evidence are you wanting? It's clear you have NOTHING to counter my claim... so what do you want?

 

websites submitted to DMOZ will be reviewed by a really human. if your website is good enough, it will take 3 or 4 days to make it aproved. if not good enough, you'll get a email as: After careful review, we have decided not to approve your application at this time.

 

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about! Where did you get this nonsense from?

It does not take 3-4 days; it takes from 2 days to 2 years to never.
They do not send emails when they reject a site.

 

Okay... so as a newbie, is it fair to say that I submit my site to DMOZ once, and then leave it?

Following submission, my expectations should be set to never hearing back in any way shape or form, and it 's very unlikely that I'll be listed.

Is that about it?

 

yes...........

 

Remember this is a suggestion for an editor to look at. If you read the stickie at the top you will see that we do not claim to be a listing service. Suggestions are just that suggestions.

Suggestions come from site owners and members of the public who use the directory and we acknowledge that we have received the suggestion, but we do not normally then enter into correspondence about the site. At some point, we cannot predict when, because a volunteer has to choose to work in that area and choose to use the suggestions pool as one of their sources, it should be reviewed with a view to a possible listing and we do not advise if it has been used or not used. That process can be from a few days to a few years. Sorry that is not what you want to hear but it is how this directory functions.

 

@Anonymously I'm not having a pop at DMOZ ...I simply wanted to know the lie of the land. As I mentioned before I have been submitting to DMOZ for a while, but didn't know whether I should keep submitting.

In theory a volunteer could already have looked at my site and decided that it wasn't a good candidate for inclusion ...or my submission could be lying at the bottom of a pile of 100,000 websites.

At least now I know.

Thanks for your feedback
