Apologies if this is already a thread, but as anyone else heard about having to pay DMOZ editors to get listed?
Never, ever pay for a listing. If an editor asks for payment report them for abuse. If you offer payment to an editor you and your sites will be permanently banned.
You can buy a DMOZ link for $50-$100. They officially don't sell you a link, they will do a "SEO work" which includes getting a listing in DMOZ and nothing else. This is permitted under DMOZ guideline. Buy a DMOZ link from DMOZ senior editors.
Yeah simply an all around bad idea. All the same let us know how it turns out. Personally, I wouldn't consider DMOZ worth paying for. Lot of options out there for you to explore. Get involved in some SEO blogs and learn what really works.
