You people and your dmoz obsessions can really scare the hell out of someone. So for this I made you all something very special. wear it well e-friends.
Do you do custom shirts, Rob? I need one that reads "Got Rejected! Noooooo!" Thanks in advance. P.S. I wear a large.
"DMOZZZZZ Waiting to get listed since years ". True for most webmasters -- i think that will be a huge hit given the websites in queue at Dmoz
If you are ready to pay then DMOZ "senior" editors are ready to sell you as many listings as you like, they just call it SEO project. You don't pay for the listings, you pay for their work and your sites get listed in DMOZ by pure coincidence.
If the sites are listable, there is no specific charge for a listing, the editor declares the business affiliation, and the SEO / Editor lists your competitors at the same time, such an action would be legitimate.
As you and others mentioned previously, DMOZ editors are "volunteers" and have no obligation to list anything, except what they want.
Not exactly true. http://dmoz.org/guidelines/conflict.html - Conducting unfair and deceptive activities to promote and support client listings will result in removal of editing privileges.
And how do you suggest that they are going to find out? First they make it possible for corruption and abuse to flourish and then they make an unenforceable guideline for the propaganda purpose. I wonder how many of DMOZ editors are aware that DMOZ listings are sold by "senior" editors to different business owners and webmasters on the daily bases?
Why don't they just get Google people to jump on and churn those submissions? Seesh. People only volunteer to list their own sites.
Oh. noo... Iam submitted my site : http://www.webmasters-forum.info on DMOZ before one week and still now it is not listed on the directory. I dont know why!. What should I do next? Do i submit again on the DMOZ? One more question: Is it possible to submit one site on different categories?
Do not resubmit. That can place you further backwards in the "queue". I've heard some have been able to submit to different categories but, I have not had much success with that personally.
Some very nice comments and an0n that shirt looks nice but i wonder if i could ever wear such thing, After reading all posts i feel like deleting this thread from forums
