Hi Can i buy web development firm domain listed in dmoz

Hi
Can I buy domains listed in DMOZ
Let me know where can I buy it,
I want to buy a web development company's domain.
Let me know how can I do this?
Regards

 

It should be noted that a site published in dmoz is not guaranteed to remain in dmoz. Sites change and evolve and as such, their listability changes.

When an editor (or auto qc tool) notices the change in content, change of ownership or any feature that indicates it may no longer be compliant, it will be removed from the live directory.

Do something useful and pursue other seo avenues, create great content and build a worthwhile site. This will achieve far more than your current line of thinking

 

If the domain has been dropped you can just go ahead and register if it is available, else you may contact owner using whois information and check with them if they wish to sell the domain to you!

 

Yes, but as snooks pointed out, we're very aware of that practice, and as soon as such sites are discovered, they're deleted from the Directory, so you'll be wasting your money.

 

Thanks snooks , sarahk , crowbar , pubdomainshost.com all
for sharing your knowledge with me.
I really keep with me for long time.
I will keep trying to apply my domain to Dmoz.


Thanks all

 

Since DMOZ lists sites abandoned more than eight years ago and entries not belonging to the category they are into. I'd find very surprising that such quick discovery.

Anyway, I think that buying a domain isn't worth it. Unless you are buying a domain with the name of your company or your main keyword on it. And it is very well ranked and has a lot of traffic. And you are going to pay a reasonable price for it.

But if the domain doesn't include your company's name or main keyword... Don't even think about actual traffic. At most, working very hard you will be able to create content matching the former URLs for not wasting the current pagerank. And then Google will crawl your site within two months and reindex your content. The site won't appear in search results ad before.

Buying a domain is, in practice, starting from scratch. And if it was parked you will have to ask Google for reconsideration. As it should be banned.

 

It's best to create your own unique site and get it listed. If I were the category editor and found out you bought a domain listed in DMOZ Id remove your listing and let you resubmit it.

 

No problem:

There you have a detailed review of Open source category. You have to notice that some meta-editor corrected a couple of sites after reading my blog entry.

Just let me know if you need more examples!

 

Wouldn't it be a better practice to first check the new content? Or is it a better mindset to shoot first and ask questions later? ... never mind, I forget, we are talking about the ODP

 

new content ? huh this folks hate with passion '' news '' , only new thing for them it's '' new paycheck '' and '' new day to work '' .... they don't have even new reply's for the forum keep copy/paste same things over lol

 

Well. That's what I call DMOZ-editor attitude. Just like Qryztufre said, you would rather shot before asking. You don't care whether the new site is worth listing. It could be even better than the previous one!

 

I've submitted to DMOZ over a year and half ago but no luck. I thought it may have been submitted incorrectly so I ask a "professional" to assist in setting me up and still haven't been listed even though it's been several months. Do they ever tell you why it's not approved or do you just keep trying?

 

If a website's listable (self-check), we'll list it in time. If it isn't, we won't.

Listing suggestions don't evaporate with time. They hang around until somebody gets around to processing them. If you 'keep trying', you're probably being counter-productive and could be mistaken for a spammer.

 

if the sites witch are listed at the directory MUST meet the guidelines how's come here are listed sites full of spam ? how's come here it's sites even after months and years since they was added by '' mistake '' ? THIS guidelines aren't followed by the editors who added them ? or how's come those sites are still here?

 

Please investigate the phrase link rot.

Websites change with time.
Our acceptance criteria change with time.
Editors sometimes make mistakes (gasp!)

We have QC robots but they can't spot everything. To achieve perfection, we'd need many more editors so that we could manually check every listing every day. Ain't gonna happen though.

 

Of course it won't. Because just like suggested sites, editor applications get rejected without reason nor explanation.

But even if editors start being accepted DMOZ won't make a single step to perfection. Because, to improve you need to have a little self-criticism. You have to admit your mistakes, and that's impossible for a DMOZ-meta. Or you like us to think you are unable to accept your mistakes. Just for hiding the real cause behind that facade.

 

same thing you said me last time when I replied same couple of months ago , and when I told you about way back machine from archive org and cache from google / yahoo and msn got an infraction worth 5 points I think and was banned more than 6 months on the forums .... Let me tell you something ,
1. editors are humans and yes and maybe they can do mistakes ( even if it's considered to be professionals since they passed the acceptance filters here - DO YOU REMEMBER MY POST ABOUT THIS FEW MONTHS BACK RIGHT ? & and the story with my own application for the editorial staff ? ) - OK editors can make mistakes , it's a human thing ....
2. I`m not speaking about one mistake , I`m speaking about multiple mistakes now , I found myself multiple categories with completely spam sites witch aren't following the guidelines , I checked the archive org way back machine , I checked the whois history from the domains , I checked the cache and so on ... THIS SITES are like they are since years , and most probably they was added here on the directory .

3. Funny it's I found some of '' old '' versions of '' acceptance criteria '' online , it's true changed some things on the time ... BUT spam sites wasn't never accepted officially by DMOZ , those explanation are still here this type of sites are not accepted by dmoz since years , some of the sites witch I spoke about them are even young than the date when this file was last time updated !

So when I`m saying about spam sites from directory I`m saying about sites :
a. sites build with only scope of spam ( affiliate type of sites , pages full with affiliate links and pictures from different products , sites witch are only advertising mlm products and so on ) .
b. Those links was checked before I say such things (* checked if the owners changed over the time , only one url changed hes ns records from what I found others didn't ! )
c. checked the wayback machine from archive org ... same story same version of the urls it's recorded since years .

 

That's for sure. it was a time that editors could earn couple of thousands for listing then it was down to $40-$50 and now it is back to $100.

Do you ever get tired of making excuses why DMOZ is filled with spam, doorway and affiliate marketing sites?
