You can't pay. You can only apply and if you follow the guidelines they will accept and index you in two weeks to 6 months.
Why to pay for it ? Just submit your site and wait for few Months B4 Submitting the site make sure that your site is complete and without any 404 links
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.[/QUOTE] you can also try webmaster forums to buy dmoz listing
Seemingly you can pay, at least if you find the right resource... though trying to pay for a listing can result in the site being removed and banned from being re-listed. Though, I've yet to see any evidence that any sites have been removed, though the risk is still on the one trying to get a listing by such a fashion. You can submit a site whether or not you read the guidelines... following the guidelines does NOT guarantee a listing, not following the guidelines can also result in a listing (look around the directory, you'll see what I mean). Have you read the guidelines? LOL, the above quote must have been from the guidelines of another directory... the ODP does not give a time frame other then "up to two weeks or more" which can result in a wait of SEVERAL YEARS or longer.
It seems that a listing might be of some importance to you - so I'm not sure why you'd jeopardize your chances by inquiring about bribing an editor for a listing. The best you'll come away with is having the domain banned - unless that was your intention. Can you pay for a listing? Possibly. I don't know for a fact that you can, it's all rumor as far as I'm concerned. I've yet to see anything that would make me believe otherwise, and I've been around the Internet and directories long enough. Overall, it's not worth it even if you could pay for inclusion. Submit the site and go about your business. It's not going to fail because you're not listed in DMOZ. Obsessing about it will only result in disappointment, frustration and possibly anger (look around here, you'll see what I mean )
The status of the asking member says it all, people trying to buy DMOZ submissions are often banned as well as those editors found receiving bribes.
My guess is that it was. DMOZ seems very quick to ban bribe attempts, especially if they are done publicly. If someone wanted a competitors site banned, then they would just need to offer to have it a paid listing.
Actually it doesn't say anything. I know a very trustworthy and respected member of these forums who's currently banned because his account was hacked.
