How on earth do you get listed in dmoz

Can u say that again just a little bit slower, and this time in english please.

thx

 

These days you dont or if you are lucky or whatsover you may.
forget dmoz if it is going to come will come if not you dont have to worry some other submissions will help your site.

 

I thought it was a clear enough. He said what gword was wonking on about was proof of nothing, and he went on to point out that they guy who is repeatedly alleging that the ODP has pedophile links actually has a heap of links to teeny porn from his own sites.

Would you like me to draw you a diagram?

 

Adnan, Nebby is trying to say that they can't list Gworld's kiddie porn sites fast enough in the ODP because the adult editors get off on drivel like that.

The two of these guys (G & Neb) are soooo obsessed with each others going's on, I swear they would make a nice couple. They honestly need to get a room so they can do what's in all those porn sites they can't stop talking about.

 

And I though I was obsessed with sex and I haven't yet created single porn page or created directory of my favorite links (since DMOZ listing are mostly useless affiliate junk), after reading all of this I'm getting so depressed that I'll end up using Viagra... better check DMOZ for sellers.

 

Qryztufre you get a little carried away sometimes and you need to settle down. No one has said Julain has kiddie porn sites, throwing around accusations like that is a shitty thing to do. I have said he has sites that link to Teeny Porn sites which is not the same thing.

Every time you post you get more puerile.

 

I enjoy your sense of humor Ivan, some people around here could work on developing one. Qryztufre for example is so dry you could play ping pong with his testicles.

 

It's strange that you call me puerile because I said you & G argue like an old couple then in the very next post you want to play with my balls

 

This forum is becoming to kinky for my taste, I'm scared that next I'll get PM tricking me into http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBRzS9tsMZE.

 

I submited my site and in a few days I was receiving visitors from dmoz. It's about a blog.

 

It took me 18 months. so keep trying and keep waiting

 

Actually you can also try Yahoo! Directory & Business.com

They are both much much busier directories then dmoz.

 

i got my bingo site listed after 8 months , i own better quality websites and been waiting forever to get them listed.

 

You can always apply to become an editor. Give up some of your spare time and save you bleating about others.

Can I say again, if I collected stamps, could someone who published stamps complain that I have not collected the stamp they published? We collect and organize websites, can the creators complain we have not collected the one they created?

 

Sure they can... though I'm unsure if they would.

Yes, as there is a submission process. If you were openly collecting stamps and stamp blog after stamp blog said "submit your request for Anonymously to collect your stamp" and stamp makers started to do that. I can bet you some good money they would start getting upset because you ignored all the submissions.

*shrug*

As long as DMOZ has the submission process that can take years to get through and with no reply function for crap sites, there will be complaints about not getting accepted. It's obvious that most of the sites not accepted are crap, but do the people submitting them thing that? Likely not.

 

No one ignores all the submissions.

Many work places ask for suggestions but very few are often implemented. Should those offering the submissions expect that they are accepted, or looked at in a given period? The ones I have been part of have not posted a notice of suggestions and reasons for refusing.

Suggestions are just that..suggestions and even if invited, no responsibility to accept or to inform.

I ask my stamp supplier to offer me stamps but I do not accept them all and if she simply sends me lists of available stamps I don't write back and tell her why i don't want the thousands offered. I sign up to be notified of new stamps from the publisher but I don't write and tell them why I have not bought every stamp they offer me.

I don't see the difference when i collect and organize web sites.

 

So what you are saying is that you see little difference between an individual submission by someone and say, an entire catalog of possible submissions. Oh yeah, that explains things, on many levels.

Seriously!

Look at it from the perspective of the submitter. Most are submitting one or two sites, not an entire book of sites. yeah, not writing your stamp catalog publisher is one thing, but brushing off individuals is something completely different. The submissions in the queue are not there en mass through one or two people. They are there by hundreds and hundreds of people.

You are correct, there is no need to tell them why, but then, there is no need to tell editors why they were rejected...but that's done, and honestly, is even more indirectly related to the end user then site submissions.

Please don't treat your end user as an entry in a catalog. That's just unhuman.

 

What i am saying is that collectors collect what they want and how they want to do it. It is not the collected that dictates that. If webmasters great or small do not want to submit, that's fine, we may or may not find their site in other ways, but if they do submit, they are asking for a site to be considered, but to then say "Why have you not done this yet?" is not in the order of things. If we don't list their site, to say "It is corrupt" is just plain silly.

We may not collect the right sites, but whose saying they are the wrong ones. We collect sites if people want to submit they can, they must wait their turn and as I write on many cat descs "We reserve the right not to list a site".

What rejected editors has to do with that is beyond me.

 

A rejected editor gets the decency of a reply if his app is not approved. If I went and filled out an app at a stamp publisher and they wanted to hire me, they would call. If they did not hire me they would not call. What I'm saying is, if that system is some how needed, how is not helping get better sites within the directory somehow less important?

I've been in the dashboard. Clicking one of a few reasons before not adding a site would take a fraction of a second, and there is a good chance the submitter would actually work on fixing the site before re-submitting...rather then how it stands now, just resubmitting once every three months and complaining in public forums that "dmoz sux".

I mean, it certainly can not be all that hard...the editor DID review the site right? An extra click is not really too much to ask.

 

Ok, just look at what you are asking.

Firstly what do you think an editor will respong when they get a notice "spam" or "not unique content"....my guess more emails to the editor objecting, then when the editor does not reply, more "ODP is corrpt they say my site is spam and won't answer my emails" Or the editor enters into a conversation and cannot use that time for editing. Not all editors waste more of their spare time posting here.

Or just consider a moment, there are lots of things that ODP wants, search to work better is one, to have some of the editor tools lost in the crash, new editor tools etc. But we haven't gotten round to sorting them. But hey, we ought to put them more on the back burner so that we can enter into a dialogue with webmasters about their spammy sites that we don't want to list. This statement will probably be contested, but sites get rejected mostly because they are spam, deeplinks or don't have unique content. We can do all that instead of working on stuff that will help the directory list the sites it wants. Yea, I'll vote for that, not.
