Hi, I have an article directory and use goodle ads on most of the pages. Will 1 Google ad per page prevent my site from being listed on the ODP? Thanks, Don
A website with adsense ads will not be a problem unless the site looks like a MFA with a bunch of ads with little to no quality content.
Widtalker is right. An ad or two should not hurt getting listed. The adult site is full of links that have 20++ links on the first page, only one of which leads deeper into the site. This would not be so bad if the other 19++ links all didn't say "click here to see more" "enter" "Pics inside" (and yes I looked). So honestly, if that's OK in one section, I see no reason that affiliate and MFA sites can't be listed in other areas. *shrug* But for the record, they are not listable anyplace else, and in most cases are not listed anywhere else. Though there are many sites with a reasonable amount of ad real estate.
But as you know perfectly well from your editing time, unless you did not read the guidelines, there are different rules for Adult and General. But what the hell difference does your opinion count, its what the ODP community accept that counts to what they list.
What community is that? ODP "community" opinion doesn't count for shit. When was the last time that "community" or editors decided about anything. The only thing that the members of the "ODP community" can decide is that they can decide to leave if they don't like the corruption before they are pushed out.
You are right. If it was up to me, your porn section would be a bit higher in quality and have a lot less kiddie sex. Your gambling and real estate sections would not be "pay for inclusion" But then, what do I know... I'm just the end user.
Yep, quality control robot doesn't visit Adult, even it has higher moral standards and doesn't want to touch that stuff.
I found the following link interesting. http://home.ivillage.com/cooking/topics/0,,4thn,00.html Listed http://www.dmoz.org/Home/Cooking/ When you click the link all you see is pop ups and other ads only. I just wonder how on earth that page got accepted there.
Ah Julian, I can see where the misunderstanding comes from. You think that if join a community multiple times (didn't you say nine?) under false pretenses in order to promote tenny porn, discount pharmacies and the such like like you will be welcomed with open arms (nine times). I can see why the who concept of community is bit difficult for you.
That is interesting coming from someone who is so afraid of the "community" that he has to hide his identity.
Well give us half your editor names, come on don't be shy, don't hide your light away, especially when you want us to tell you our editor names, Oh sorry Q, gworld got us into that again. Still its OK you will be able to brand me as the troll.
My reason for not telling my editors name is that in my opinion ODP is corrupt to the core and I have no confidence for Admins or Metas as I have stated many time, what is your excuse?
I don't know about him (or her) but I don't owe you anything Julian, and since you have bullied, belittled, mocked and used every possible underhand tactic to drive those who don't share your views from this forum I thing I might pass on that one. But gee thanks for the option.
Or is it really that your scam of offering to get sites listed for cash would be exposed. Still if you have an editall account and 8 others, are they all editalls or just the one, you could keep the editall account secret and still continue with your corruption of an honest directory and just offer half the other names. As I have said before editors who have used their own editor names and that has got onto public boards like this have been abused by email, post, phone and personally in some cases. So mine stays with me and is not for public consumption. And you can believe or not that I am an editor, I care little. Attack me personally and I will respond in kind, attack my views and I will argue with you. But I am sure it intrigues other readers, why you are so adamant that we all stand up for corruption, yet you have 9 times as many editor accounts as I have, that must make you 9 times as accountable. And in your vennom for ODP you claim they are useless, but hold on to your accounts like they are top secret documents. If its useless, get your sites out and stop wasting all the energy it took to get 9 accounts and it takes keeping them. UNLESS the real ploy here is that you try and convince your competitors that ODP is a waste of time, making sure your sites are secretly and safely secreted there. Now that is probably the best way to stop your competitors being listed, convince them ODP is sh1t, no traffic from it, corrupt and not worth bothering with and you don't have to try and secretly de-list them in ODP.
LoL! Great post Anonymously, and it certainly has a ring of truth. If anyone has an account and is not using it to make changes, then there is a good chance, that they are as "corrupt" as anything else in the project. If Gworld does have multiple accounts, then in many ways he too is a supporter of pedophilia and low budget porn ~ and is likely on the take as well If there is an over-generalization about DMOZ editors, then it should likely apply across the board. However, none of this has much to do with the adsense/dmoz inclusion question (not pointing at you, I'm pointing as us) but I do think that's been answered properly.
Didn't you want to say that editors that dare post outside DMOZ are risking removal since anything they write can be used as evidence against them in secret removal procedure?
