Can a DMOZ Listing Prevent a Site From Being Sandboxed?

    If your site is listed in DMOZ, will this prevent it from being sandboxed?
    Are there any other benefits to a listing that are specific to launching a new site?

    No, DMOZ won't help you. The sandbox is an aging filter that only applies to certain competitive keywords. A new site has to "prove" itself. Just give it time, and while you wait, concentrate of less competitive keywords which aren't affected by the sandbox. 90% plus of people complaining about the sandbox are mistaken - they just haven't gotten enough authority links from related sites to justify ranking well with google.

    How many people complaining about their rankings truly have a great site that deserves to rank well? Very few.... and as google is relying more and more on human reviews of site - building a great site is even more important than ever.

    I had heard that it takes quite a while to get into DMOZ. In that case, wouldn't your site naturally be out of the sandbox, anyway?

    If you are in DMOZ there is no question of SANDBOX, since Getting into DMOZ takes anything from 6 months to some years. And after being a year old site there is no probability of being sandboxed. Because sandbox applies to only new sites.

    Pretty odd question. I don't think the site will ever get listed in DMOZ in the first place if it's currently in sandbox mode.

    Dmoz has nothing to do with sandbox. Just launch your site. Add useful information in it, build quality backlinks. You then dont have to worry about SandBox.

    I can't speak for Google, but I am a DMOZ editor and I can tell you that all sites submitted to the directory are human-reviewed. The time delay is really based on how many submissions must be verified and how active an editor is in the directory.

    I dont think DMOZ will help with sandboxing. If you get sandboxed it would happen anyway

    That's not true. Even if you have quality backlinks, there's a chance you could still end up in sandbox esp if your niche is competitive.
