I have a few websites that need to be submitted to dmoz and will pay $50 each for successfull submissions only. They are all different subjects, all clean, but payment of $50 per domain will only be given if it results in a listing in dmoz. Hows that for a challenge?
If you let more than one person try... How do you determine who's efforts got your sites listed, in the unlikely event that they do end up in dmoz?
I'm willing to accept your challenge. Yet, I do wonder how you will determine who is responsible for the success of a submission. Please explain. Also, how many sites do you want submitted? I have been successful at SEM and SEO projects and have a knack for keyword-targeted copywriting. Although, DMOZ does take an extended amount of time for indexing of new inclusions so do you have an expiration date in mind for this offer?
Great. As if this hasn't created enough problems in DMOZ and their editors as it is. Besides that, you are screwing yourself. Each time someone submits it you start from scratch (time wise). Plus, you'll never be able to track who got it there successfully.
From my portfolio of websites, I would only assign a specific website to one person. Each applicant would have about 10 sites to submit. Those with success would have more provided. A 3 month window from when the domain details are handed over will be provided. If any of the sites turn up in dmoz during that time, I will be pleased to send $50 per domain accepted. At present Dmoz is closed for new submissions. Once re-opened, we will pick up this challenge.
