Michael, thanks for taking the time to link to the threads in question. I wouldn't be making a post on the forum, asking questions if my questions were answered, believe me I have much better things to do with my time! My questions remain unanswered - but I have work to do and money to make, but thanks for your response. Darren
To be honest with you, Darren, at this point and time you will not get any good answers and assistance unless you form a "personal relationship" with one of the editors.
Now wait a minute TOOT, you told us you had 6 friends that were editors, yet at the same time you seem to be publishing pages on DMOZ Can you explain this? Please explain the pages and what you are trying to do by publishing these pages. Did they reject you as an editor at one time and now you are out to get them? Are you making money off of these DMOZ informational pages that you have published
It is not about me, Anthony. For example, if you go to the website reviews section, someone asked about opinions, would you as an seo give false advice and then label yourself as an expert, or not even look at the site, make a comment like "your title tags are too spammy" just to lateron find out they don't even have title tags?
Like I said, it's not about me or individual sites, it's about the overall quality of search results and how it is being tainted thru idiots in the wrong positions, just like spammers taint search results in msn and make things harder for quality web sites to come up first!
Wait a moment ST, you are now an editor of Joe Ant a competitive directory, so this thing is getting interesting, will you explain a bit about this to the forum
i am on your wave length with that bro, ...i hate spammy sites...and i hate the fact that dmoz incudes them. http://www.searchguild.com/tpage19021-0.html
Oh, it is always good to hear from my great friends at Search Guild, Eddie is an old friend of mine and so is Birdie
I have been a JoeAnt editor for 2 years and I like JoeAnt a lot! I have learned to look outside of the box and see what kind of sites are useful, even if they are not useful to me - I am learning to see what kind of web sites are useful to some people and which ones are simple self serving. I don't spend a ton of time there but I do take it very serious. Directories are supposed to enhance overall search results and not pollute them like DMOZ is doing.
So the DMOZ editors can now use this against you claiming that your opinion is bias because you are an editor for Joe Ant, could they not TOOT
not at all, joeAnt is about 0.002% percent of all posts I have ever made. joe Ant is a cool thing to do on the side, they don't need me, they are doing good.
Maybe you are not getting the idea here ST. If I was a critic of Google but worked for Yahoo, I could not be considered an objective commentator on Google issues. What would you think if the Republican party controlled the news you watch on TV Oh, sorry TOOT, bad example (Fox News)
I believe in JoeAnt, Anthony. Even though their influence on the SERP's are miniscule compared to DMOZ.
OK Toot, but don't be surprised if DMOZ starts attacking you as a critic that is working for the competition, they are not stupid you know
DMOZ is infested with corrupt spammers, JoeAnt is not, enough said! Joe Ant Directory is built upon principles and never lost them But this is not about them ... you brought it up for whatever reason.
I gota hit the sack Toot, but make sure you leave the lights on when you go to bed, the DMOZ monster is out to get you man, be sure of that
JoeAnt is the best directory on earth, the editors there are superb. I am NOT one of the main ones but the ones I work with have established themselves elsewhere as well. I have been an seo for 5 yrs and when spammers like searchking.com went down, I moved up. I hate spammers. DMOZ is the #1 spammer now. I am behind JoeAnt but that is just me. This is not about me and my opinions, just about people keeping a sinking ship afloat because of the name. DMOZ is done, JoeAnt is not, whether they will become bigger or not. I stand behind what I believe in, and my instinct has NEVER failed me. Whose side are you on anyways, Anthony? It is not about me or JoeAnt ...
