any luck with DMOZ?

Has anyone had any luck with DMOZ?

If so, could you share some hints on being accepted by them? What is it that DMOZ wants?

 

Well I got lucky on my first time, but have you tried the absolute best catagory for your site?

 

was your site a blog or just a normal site?
absolute best category? how do you determine that?

I went through their categories and though that I picked the best one.

I know DMOZ is human handpicked, but is there any software that helps determening the best DMOZ category? Would be nice to have something like that.

 

At the time i listed my site is was a forum, but now it is a blog. Could you list your site here to see if anyone has any input?

In my case, I didn't do anything special at all. It's like I bought a lottery and I won. Trying to get in Dmoz could be a waste of time. It's not like the end of SEO game.

 

I submitted my site like last August and never heard back from them. I'm not sure if I should bother to try again or not since they said only submit your site once.

 

Best Advice:

Submit and forget. If you get in, great. If you don't, the world won't come to an end.

 

DMOZ is a living Dinosaurs now. too big to live

 

........................................................ if you dont, resubmit

try n try till u succeed

 

Yes Dont try to resubmit once in 4months atleast.. that is my trick...

Just submit & forget it...

 

I have submitted once way back in Oct. Never heard from them

 

DMOZ editors are still on their job ? because i've submited my site 8 months ago ... and nothing

 

One thing I have noticed in DMOZ is that if there is link "Become Volunteer" towards bottom of the category that you are submitting your site to, then probably, no one is reviewing those links and so chances of your link getting approved are almost zero, unless you become an editor

 

I submitted two of my sites a few months before the "crash". I checked last week and saw that both of my sites are listed (and in the correct category!!). It is a good bet that the "crash" really set them back, so if you haven't heard anything for about 6-8 months, go ahead and re-submit. What are they going to do? Reject you?

 

Yeah, I tend to submit every two months until they accept the link. Like RH said, what's the worst they can do? Reject you?

Google Directory awfully looks like DMOZ. Ive heard that people still get in DMOZ but you have to get the most relevant category and follow the sumbission guidelines all the way.

For example, if I run a blog do I submit the url or the RSS?

Just really confusing

 

try it first , if you are still having your site online one year later perhaps you will see it being listed on DMOZ

 

huh? that didnt make a lot of sense

 

I think he meant to submit your sight now and wait. If you still have your site active a year from now, you might see it listed; if not keep submitting.
