How to get listed on DMOZ when site concerns many subjects

    Every one of my pages is on a different theme and I take it DMOZ does not list individual pages or groups of pages. How can I get listed on DMOZ in a way that will do any good?

    I mean, what good is listing as: 'New fun article every week' -- when there are a billion other sites that claim to do that?

    If you grow peas, corn, carrots, and tomatoes, and you have seperate pages about each, you wouldn't suggest it to a category about peas.

    You would look at the categories above peas, until you find a category that includes all four vegetables and suggest your site there. (one time)

    But even if you suggested it to the peas category, the editor will see the content includes more than just that, and move it to the correct higher category, he wouldn't delete it, and you would not be in any trouble. :)

    If these seperate pages were really outstanding, the editor could decide to list them as deeplinks in the smaller categories for the benefit of the information seeker, but that's rare and it would be the editors decision to do that.

    Start with the most relevant category and ask the editor is they think it appropriate.

    Keeping that in mind , now think back and find out what you envisaged your site to be ? Was it a general portal and are the content unique - is it an Encyclopedia ?
    or is it truly copy of what other billion sites ? Was the site made just to generate millions of pagesviews for generating adsense revenue ?
    if its any of the later , then i don't think submitting anywhere would be worthwhile .
    If its moderately unique and still has a specific theme, you can try as crowbar said .

    Getting listed in DMOZ is beyond me. I have now clue why people still try to bend over backwards to get there site accepted into it. Spend you time on something more useful like original content or getting 100 easy backlinks versus 1 insanely difficult backlink.

    What do you think it takes? Submit once and move on as there is nothing more you can do. Its gets listed or it dosen't. What is "bend over backwards" "insanely difficult" about that? (also what has your post got to do with the topic of this thread?)

    Why did you submit it 3 times for? As its just a Google custom search why did you even bother submitting it once? Its not even listable and if you read the guidelines you would know that!
