Hi , I submitted my jobs portal three months ago in: Asia: India: Business and Economy: Employment: Directories . How long does it generally take to get into dmoz now?. Will be grateful for any help Regards., Sarathy.s
It took just a month get my site listed. Usually it takes few weeks or even months. If you have followed the submission guidelines very well it won't take much time. If you have submitted to a busy catagory it may take a while before it is approved or rejected. My advice: Keep checking regularly. If your site is not included in 1.5 months you may re-submit it again. But, this time you must make your you have followed the guidelines very well Hope this helps. Good luck.
You may but it will do you no good. After a suggestion is made it will never be removed until it is either accepted or rejected. So if a suggested site is not listed yet it most probably is still waiting review (why would you suggest it again, new suggestions will overwrite the previous suggestion in the same category, if an editor processes suggestion on date you have only made your "waiting" time longer). When an editor looked at the site and decided ot should be listed in an other category he will have moved it to that category where it is now waiting review (why suggest the site again). A 3th posibility is that your site was rejected (why suggest it again, if a site is not listable it will be rejected again and again until we mark it as spam and ban it).
Wouldn't a one line email from a "do_not_reply" outgoing email server solve that problem? How hard is that?
Technicaly this wouldn't be so hard. I as a person wouldn't mind if such a message was send. But the editor-community has decided not to send out this information. It has been decided that the negatives (giving spamming webmasters to much information) would outweight the positives. If I encounter a website that can be changed in such a way that DMOZ will list it I send a message to the owner of the site. I know several other editor will do the same. After a few weeks we check if the site has changed and list it. Strangly enough most webmasters don't do anything with this help we provide.
Technically, not at all hard, I agree. It's a form letter. As for "too much information"... Where do you see this in "We regret to inform you that your site does not meet the criteria for inclusion in the DMOZ directory."? The ifnrom ation that is conveyed is simply that the site doesn't meet your criteria. That, by the way, is basically the same form rejection letter I send out for my little directory.
I agree. We could send out such a message. And for the parts of DMOZ I am editong in I think it wouldn't be a problem. The reason given was: we don't want the webmasters spamming DMOZ to know we have found another of their sites as they would just suggest one of their other sites or suggest the same site to another category. I'm afraid (as with many things in live) the good have to suffer because of the actions of a little group of bad people.
Well, I'm under no illusions. As long as those in power at DMOZ continue to be in power, it just isn't goping to happen. But all of the reasons I have ever read given as to why it's a bad idea and won't be implemented are bogus or paranoid, IMO. Even if it did encourage spam (how or why?), wouldn't the boost in positive public relations be worth it?
Welll Pagode, I know sometimes the waiting time is longer because the editors are busy! It is understandable
I have a friend that was an editor at DMOZ and he told me that a lots of the editors are helping other friends to get listed and a lots not so nice things, this is why I love Google they just list any one, no bullshit.
