Why get site listed on DMOZ is so hard?

I tried to obey on guidelines.

- submitted quality sites - 100% unique contents written by us native english speaking writer plus updated on regular basis
- submitted to most proper category
- submitted with correct description
- submitted used domain name as title, not spam/stuffed keyword in title and my domain name is not too much long.

I wonder if anyone here got site listed on dmoz by not become an editor themselves. I saw some dmoz editor complained about spam submission and got tired but they didn't act upon when quality sites submitted. I wonder if dmoz is already corrupted and only have sites listed because editor own its or their friends own it.

 

Is your site plagued with advertising or link exchanges?

I've heard this is a common reason for not listing sites, otherwise I know several non-native English speakers already listed and they are not editors themselves or their friends.

 

No, my site is not a plagued with advertising. My site had already been listed in major directories such as joeant, skaffe, goguides, web-beacon, gimpsy, rubberstapmed, v7n, iwebtool, 2yi already.

Naah, can't be that... we don't have near that many editors, and most of 'em don't have any friends. I suspect it has something to do with hygeine.

If you pay a directory that offers an immediate review you should expect it, but a directory manned by volunteers *can't* make any promises to review something in a timely manner and doesn't pretend to... so in some areas they're handled quickly, in some it's hit or miss, in some it is unlikely. Just the nature of the setup.

On the bright side it's nice if you get in, and if you don't it didn't cost anything. I'd say submit it and move on with other things. Not a plot, just a difference in a paid review vs a bunch of volunteers working at various paces and some areas that are undermanned. Good luck with it.

 

Thank you for your clarification.
