    Hello Friends:

    I have been online for sometime. It is still too hard to get listed on Dmoz. In fact, I never get listed on Dmoz and Yahoo.

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Are you talking about the sites in your signature?

    If it is the sites in your signature, then I am not surprised. They do not look like being listable to me.

    You will need to be more specific about what kind of sites you have which have been unsuccessful in being listed on DMOZ.

    Getting listed in Dmoz is always hard for every type of site but it will be more difficult when the site is related to adult or photography niche.

    Few Things that makes site inclusion to DMOZ :
    * Unique Site structure (include Easy Navigation)
    * Unique Site Design
    * Unique Site Content
    * Valid CSS / XHTML
    * Proper Adverts( Adsense, personalized ads etc)
    * Site Age > 1 year

    Do you not have to pay to get into the Yahoo dir?

    Quality and age matters with DMOZ as far as my experience goes

    Does DMOZ ever list a site that's under a year old?

    NONE of those are used by DMOZ as a criteria for listing, except for "Unique Site Content". Why are you making those up for?

    Dont believe unique content is the only criteria. Bcoz my site is not having that much unique content, most articles are blogged from yahoo finance, msn finance etc.

    You need to go and read the DMOZ guidelines about what they mean by unique content. Are your sites listed in DMOZ?

    Best tip / advice for getting listed on DMOZ: know an editor in your area or niche.

    lol! Even I know that your site would have been rejected within seconds of an editor looking at it! They won't be listing it.
