Site isn't listed in DMOZ

i gave my site in dmoz 1 yr ago and twice after 4 months but my site isn't included yet.
my site is vBulletin-dz.com

 

By submitting again, twice after 4 months, you automatically send your listing to the back of the queue so you have to go through the waiting game all over again, thats if your listing hadn't already been deleted as it was deemed not suitable for inclusion.

 

So what should i do now?
resubmit?

 

I would resubmit, then wait another year... don't submit within that year either...

 

Neither are 100,000 other sites that are patiently waiting. You're just one of them, and as the Directory doesn't offer a listing service of any kind, I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting, .

Submit one time, and go find something else to do.

 

you can try to continue to submit or

you can try

* http://www.scriptlance.com/cgi-bin/...s=open&desc=1&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=Go
* visit http://www.getafreelancer.com and write "dmoz" or "dmoz listing" or use google . dmoz editor are selling links there.

 

So should i use any other service to get my site in google.

 

How long can you expect to wait to get listed on average?

 

2 weeks only

 

That's like throwing 50,000 marbles on the floor and predicting which one will be picked up first.

What I can tell you is that every marble (site) has an equal opportunity to be picked up because they are all sitting on the same level playing field, which a lot of people on this forum don't like, they want a way to give themselves an advantage over you, by finding a way to work the "system".

Problem for them is that, unlike an automated system, there is no system to be worked, and the reason for that is that humans can think, make judgement calls, and are unpredictable.

The short answer is anywhere from one day to several years. There is no real average time because there are so many variables, and because our jobs as editors are not to provide a listing service, but to build categories.

 

It's very light on content and unlikely that it would be accepted (personal opinion only). From looking at the stats I'd have to wonder just how much content it had a year ago when you submitted?

Stats:
Members: 24
Threads: 92
Posts: 97

Personally, I'd work on building the site so that it's a useful resource before I would consider resubmitting.

I'd also look at some of the other sites that are currently listed and see where they are lacking. Consider adding content that the other sites don't offer.

 

Actually i recently started a new forum at my site. I deleted the older website.

 

I don't know but it took 5 months for my site to be added.

well a year ago i imagine it had nothing on it as it didn't exist
vbulletin-dz.com was created on: May 14 2008

Domain age (approximately):
2 Months, 21 days..

 

I have submitted one of my sites twice already. Nothing happened. There's nothing bad in the site. It was so appropriate in the category selected. Why do we have to wait forever?

 

Not really, some marbles are really ugly and pathetic and nobody wants to pick up an ugly and pathetic marble.

 

A site can be the ugliest on the planet, that's not what an editor judges.

If it has one piece of useful information that no other site in the category has, it gets listed, because the information seeker is our first priority. How does listing 50 beautifully made sites help the information seeker, if every one of them has the exact same information and nothing different?

Would you want to see the same info 50 times, or would you be po'd for having wasted all that time?

An editors job is to find those differences and mention them in the description, again, to save the information seeker time. One glance at the listings descriptions should give that seeker enough information to decide which sites to actually visit.

A description that's meant to entice or suck an information seeker to the site using sales hype is dishonest and unacceptable, save that for your newspaper ads or your site, it doesn't belong in a Directory description.

Same goes for a list of keywords for search engine optimization, a Directory is not a search engine, and could care less about it.

 

It takes anywhere from 2 weeks to six months to get listed on DMOZ. It varies by category. If I were you I would apply, wait six months, and if your not in make sure you are following their guidelines and submitted your site to the best category, and then re-apply.

 

If a site has been submitted/suggested to the Directory, it will still be sitting there awaiting review by an editor. If you resuggest it, it will still be sitting there, only with a newer submission date.

Some editors do review site suggestions by the date submitted, I never did, but some do. In those cases, you just screwed yourself by resubmitting.

In cases where the site was rejected, resubmitting just means it will be rejected once again, and you've wasted the editors time and kept another site owner from having his site reviewed.

I've reviewed sites that had been there one day and others that had been submitted several years before (in the same category, in the same editing session).

With 600,000 categories available and roughly only 7,000 active editors working, that should come as no surprise. Especially if you understand that most of those editors are limited to very small areas of the Directory, and those of us with higher/wider access are not only totally swamped with submissions, but we're the only ones who can deal with structure work across wide areas of the Directory.

The reason there are not more editors with these higher permissions is that:
A. They don't desire such permissions and haven't requested them.
B. They don't have the knowledge and experience to be trusted with such permissions yet.
C. They don't have the time commitment it takes to learn what you need to know.

 

Not true, if it were then Shoemoney's sites would all be listed

Unique content is only part of the picture and MANY things can override it.

If the end user was the real reason for a listing, then many of the banned sites would be listed regardless of other circumstances...

 

i'm sure that cowbar or jim nobble will create a reason this too.

Shoemoney is a rich person. if he gives 5k $ , he will loose nothink.

but 200 active editor are volunteer to a category. they must be paid

bla bla bla



dmoz is a paid directory with full of spam. you need to pay money to an editor to have a listing on that spam directory (or you can use the short name: DMOZ)
