DMOZ Submission

I've submitted my urls to DMOZ multiples times starting as far back as 2005 and have had none, ZERO added to the directory.

What's the trick here? Do I have to perform some intimate acts with an editor to get listed?

 

To be honest? Just fire and forget. Either that or try and become an editor yourself. A DMOZ listing isn't the holy grail of directory listings - it's not even that important anymore. But it can help nonetheless.

 

same problem with me

 

I got listed for 5 months & then i found the listing was removed

 

Don't bather man dmoz is dead like for the past 4 years

 

there is no trick (well, unless you get to be an editor) and i would not suggest you to loose any sleep over it. i was able to get any sites listed in DMOZ 6-7 years back, even ones that were hosted on geocities at that time. its been few years now that i have not been able to get a single site listed there so i don't bother submitting anymore

 

Exactly, 100% right.
Dmoz is worthless now.

 

Dmoz now just the name now, nothing more than that.

 

Its far from worthless. DMOZ still passing on a good amount of authority for the serps. But getting in now is much trickier than it used to be.

 

I heard a trick to do a extremely simple submission. So short titles and description etc. It may help but what I dont get is that I hardly ever hear of anyone being submitted anymore. Why even have the directory with little fresh content.

 

This is a very good question. I am also keen to know why.

 

dmoz is a big problem

 

hi,

1) Make good meta tag
2) while submitting in DMOZ follow the rules
3) submit every after 6 months

 

The problem is same in my case also and after reading this thread i am less bothered about that listing.
Thank you all.

 

I would agree with that view. Authority of DMOZ have fallen massively in last years. I would bet that Google dropped its importance to its algo few years ago. For me DMOZ is dead end idea, but that's just my personal view

Regards,

PS

 

I think one have to wait for a century before they send an email saying that they have rejected your site

 

every time you re-submit on DMOZ, you're be placed all the way at the back of the line, all over again.

 

i think their it is just a jackpot

 

there is no golden rules for same, its just pure luck these days if u get added in dmoz. There is a lot of arguments that dmoz is worthless now but i still sites being listed in dmoz getting ranked fairly easily than others, so keep on trying submitting after 4-6 months period.

 

shameless plug alert -

I wrote an article about this exact topic:
