Dmoz Bye Bye

That is not a hulk smash pose!

I demand a reshoot

 

Yep thats true...i got my 2 sites listed withing 2-3 days....

But it actually depends on the editor of your category, if he is active then your site will be listed soon, if your site is worth listing!

 

We're getting a bit off-topic, but here's a "Hulk Smash" picture for dastuff (it's actually my son). Plus you can listen to Hulk SMASH! ;-)

 

Good to see the Jolly Green Giant out here!

 

Some of the regional Directories in the Dmoz are not Updated for months I have Listed a site which was full of resources of our regional language it dint do till now

 

vishuboy, you can always volunteer to edit that category. We always need editors for regional categories in languages other than English.

 

Not true I have a site that is 100% original in both design and content, looks professional, and is listed in several other PR7,8,9 directories including Yahoo but after 3 submissions to DMOZ and 17 months later......nothing

 

If you provide the URL and where you submitted it then someone may be able to tell you if the site has a problem or whether it is in an area that has low editor activity. The design, professional look, and listings elsewhere have no bearing whatsoever on whether DMOZ will list the site. But if you have 100% original content and lots of it then it should be listable. Note also that DMOZ says to submit once - submitting 3 times has no beneficial effects and can only have negative ones, e.g. if the editor reviews in date submitted order then you have made progress up the queue then sent yourself to the end of the line twice - don't do it.

 

Does it have affiliate links on it?

hmm ... TVCokeCan, the link you provided to your source is dead.

So, who's the dead one now? Huh? Huh?

 

Working fine right now for me Compostannie.

 

And the point is? People have been 'talking about the death of dmoz' almost since its inception. There is nothing new there. The problem is 'the people' most often talking about the death of dmoz are the ones that cannot make it work the way they wish it to or they cannot manipulate it into offering something it doesn't and never intended to. Sure there are things that can and need to be improved, but for the most part these are not the things that are being pointed by those predicting the demise of the directory.

 

The link worked for me too.

 

odd, it's still not working for me. Maybe it's a browser thing? I use FireFox. What are you using?

( I feel so left out. )

ACK! It's a conspiracy, I just tried it with IE and I still can't get it to load. What's up with that?

 

Firefox 1.5, however it works in IE6 aswell.

 

Firefox 1.5 for me, but worked in Opera too.

 

I just tried Opera and that won't load for me either. First DMOZ goes down, and now this? I'm going over to the drinking thread....

 

Well at least we now know who the cuplrit who broke dmoz was.

 

I tried submitting my site to DMoz. It told me to retry in a few hours.
