Sorry Suhaana but your thread title is misleading. There is no guaranteed dmoz entry. Many categories are simply left unmoderated for various reasons. Sometimes an unethical competitor will become an editor just to prevent further submissions. Other times people may have moved onto new jobs or abandoned that e-mail address. So you can submit a quality website that just never gets reviewed.

 

I didn't find any difficulty with DMOZ submission

 

how long does it take to approve the sites submitted on it ? I submitted 1month ago and haven't heard from them so far...

 

dmoz will not accept you (if you are not an editor)

 

can you explain this a bit more please...

 

that may well be...and it'll be different in every case...but what 'vansterdam'
is saying is that the title of your thread is misleading as there is no such thing as
'guaranteed DMOZ entry'....

 

Dmoz will not accept sites that you won't accept if you were urself an editor who did it for the fun of being an editor

 

the only way to 'guarantee' dmoz entry is to become a dmoz editor

 

Makes me wonder if they are as slow at accepting new editors as they are at accepting sites into the directory!

 

I guess the whole dmoz thing is just overrated. I'd rather spend some time writing good content than trying and failing to submit to dmoz...

 

I have couple of domain in the DMOZ. and I m not an editor! at last! There is no fool like an old fool.

 

Too many cooks spoil the broth. But you can't GUARNATEE dmoz entry, despite your thread title. Never carry a parcel by the string.

 

I've been fighting for ages to get my site into Dmoz. The site is www.webtwist-design.com and when I look at some of the other sites that are included into Dmoz, I think my site is qualified. I have tried for 2 years now and nothing happens. I had another site, a screensaver site that I submitted and it got accepted in a heartbeat. Just lost my patience with Dmoz but still there is some hope that one day...................I will finally get my main site accepted

 

How long it takes to be listed at dmoz?

 

Too long to worry about it. Submit it and forget it basically!

 

Long long ago, I would have agreed that DMOZ was a waste, and you would never get in. But in the past year, I've had 90% of the sites I've submitted been accepted.

Make sure you've got some PR before you submit

 

tried the advice I hope my websites get accepted

 

Realist information but definitely the title is misleading.
