How to Buy Links in DMOZ Question

Ive submitted and submitted and added more and more content over the years and still my sites do not appear in DMOZ.

Ive tried to gain insight by emailing the various Category Editors but never receive a response.

Ive tried time and again to volunteer to be an editor and am always turned down even though I am an expert of almost 50 years in the areas of my interest.

Like many of you I am getting a bit fed up with the Supposedly Open Directory Project.

Can I buy a link in DMOZ? Yahoo sells links, why not DMOZ.

How would I go about this?

I have 4 sites each with more than 10 pages of unique content all over a year in age that I would like listed.


Thanks

 

Ever consider having larger sites? Or rather, beyond those 10, what does the unique content look like?

THough, if you are buying, and you get caught ALL 4 of the sites will be banned forever and ever and ever and ever...but if you are still interested, then try 3rd party sites like Scriptlance that has completed transactions for ODP listings with positive feedback!

 

same here, it's been 2 years since submission but still building

 

Can I ask why you feel it's of such importance to be listed there?

 

If you get listed in dmoz , then you get listed in major search engine . DmoZ is a non profit website

 

Yeah I wouldn't attempt to buy links if I was you.

I've been trying for a while to get any site of mine listed in DMOZ with no luck, until yesterday. I checked my traffic and noticed a visitor from editors.dmoz.org so I checked DMOZ and I actually got listed

I guess that just shows that they do list more sites, you just have to follow their guidelines to the letter.

 

before how many days u submitted ur website?

 

DMOz?????? What is it? Skeleton of Geocities?

Never bothered to even get near to it.

There are better directories like lii.org which are more niche specific and hence more valuable.

 

If you post your link on Digital Point you get listed in major search engines. Its faster (even with the delay for posting live links) in most cases then many directories (DMOZ included) and people actually may check your link out posted here

 

Lii.org is no more.

 

yes actually there is alot of them, try see www.top-directory.net

 

What are you talking about man?
Since when top-directory.net became authority in directory industry?
and
CReed is write about Lii.org
That name is gone and it's called now ipl.org

Jhnrang you are a poet.

@ Going Green : anyone with SEO notions last updated in 1992 knows that DMOZ links are worth no more than a reciprocal link between two of your own websites. Why bother, when you have the power to make your own links?

Don't forget that no one has used DMOZ (other than editors and webmasters with antiquated SEO) since the early nineties.

Don't waste your money; don't even waste your time.

Move on. This is 2010. Search engines have changed a great deal.

 

DMOZ sucks. It's a place where corruptions abounds. Submitted my sites many times but never get listed.

 

Perhaps we thought you were spamming. We treat spammers the same way that you treat spammers

 

You really would be doing any of your potential visitors a favor if you had actually paid attention to my post rather than trying to seize another opportunity to flog a list (your own?).

Lii.org is no more. If you actually visit the page it redirects to you can see why.

Back to the subject at hand...

 

If you are talking about purhasing a review as you would with Yahoo, there is no way we do not charge, nor will we charge for a review. You might be fed up, but unfortunately we do not operate to add links for any value it gives to the link. We do not work in our spare time to be a listing service for site owners. You are of course always welcome to apply to edit a category, button at the bottom of most pages, and then you can help build categories for end users to surf the internet using categorised, colated links. But what is there to be fed up with, we offer people the chance to suggest a site to help enable that to happen, but we have always said that it may be from a few days to a few years for us to get round to reviewing it. There are hundreds of other free directories that will list your link, why carp about this one being different? Some complain because they want a listing in the Google directory, if so you can complain to them, we have no control over them using our data. But DMOZ is a voluntary organisation that does not charge for review, listing or use of its data, but as a voluntary group we have to volunteer to review and area and the resources we use is up to the volunteer, so the time for a review to take place is as long as a piece of string. Depends on how much I watch football, how long walks I take the dog, how much time I spend with my wife and all the other things that folks do with their spare time multiply that up for eash editor and add a dash of choosing where to edit and you can begin to see the problem.

If you mean can you purchase a link by bribing an editor, well some say you can, but I'd be careful many sites have been blocked permanently for trying.

 

I submitted it and it got listed about 3 weeks later.

 

Dmoz isn't that important if you look at the big picture.

 

No offense but while you may be an expert in your field, it seems that you do not know enough about DMOZ to be an editor. You need to be an expert (or at least very good) editor. I believe that is considered more important than industry expertise when evaluating your qualifications.
