Can I Submit Clients' Sites to DMOZ?

Discussion in 'ODP / DMOZ' started by jj1, Jan 19, 2009.

    I run a small website design agency, designing 1-2 websites a month. Can I submit my clients' websites to DMOZ or does DMOZ record the computer that sites are submitted from and reject submissions of multimple websites as spam?

    I would appreciate any feedback.

    You are most welcome to submit sites that you do not own. Any member of the public is urged to submit good websites that they come across, owning the site is not a requirement. In your case, where they are actually client websites, it is welcome, merely ensure that you submit according to the guidelines and that you ensure you submit once, to the most appropriate category.

    Hope this information helps ;)

    You can even be an editor and list client sites! Though be sure you are listing them as affiliates, or you could run into some muddy waters. You may even wish to edit in an area that simply interests you that is unrelated to the pages you help create. Heh, being a DMOZ editor CAN be a selling point, so long as you do not give any promises for ODP listings...though I'm pretty sure you can say you'll submit such pages.

    Best of luck with any and all listings!

    So here we go again, trying to make mischief, trying to imply corruption, trying to put people off despite listing your own site and then bolting and winging very hard when you site was removed despite it being 404.

    All the claptrap about trying to give good information, but usually just tilted in the direction of that huge chip ,you have on your shoulder, but I will leave people to be able to see your postings for what they are.

    What are you talking about? I'm not implying anything. If there is something wrong with being in link sales and being an Editor then there is something wrong with the guidelines. If you read that thread I seemingly stand corrected as there is nothing wrong with such actions, and I was just showing the OP that it's perfectly natural to design sites and to also be an editor.

    You keep forgetting that anything you say is considered heresy against DMOZ since as removed editor you are branded as heretic and all other editors are encouraged to trash you to prove their loyalty.

    Of course if meta says the same thing it is considered holy word but as heretic you are still banned from using those. ;)
