False positives on DMOZ listing

Discussion in 'ODP / DMOZ' started by arcadeorama, Nov 18, 2010.

    I submitted my sites to DMOZ when I originally set them up. I got no response, so I basically gave up on the idea. Then, recently I've been trying out some different reporting tools, some of which are saying Yes on DMOZ listing. I've done a bunch of searches and my sites are no where on there. Am I missing something? Why the false positive?

    Ask the admin responsible for the tool. Why go to a third party for any information when you can go to the source? ;)

    Because I thought I'd be more likely to get some sort of response here. Plus, I was hoping there was some way to find my site I wasn't aware of. I really don't think they're there, but I could be wrong...

    I doubt they're there also - more likely tool error. But, I believe that the search DB is a bit behind the directory DB @ DMOZ, so it's possible you're listed but not showing up in the search results yet. Have you checked the category?

    Go to the search box on DMOZ and add your site name etc without the www and if it is listed it should find it.
