How to list in Dmoz Directory

Hey i have very good PR 3 website and i have try to list my website in Dmoz last 6 month but still it not listed in it. what is the main problem please guide me how can submit my site in Dmoz

 

Truth is Dmoz has lost it's relevance I had one site listed within weeks and another has been waiting two years, a couple of months ago all the dmoz checkers except the one that counts, dmoz it's self, reported the site was listed then after a few days most either say it's not or show a question mark. The thing is the unlisted site gets considerably more traffic and generate much more income, the site perform similar functions and get the same attention from me... go figure. I have recently read a number of horror stories about dmoz editors contacting site owners and asking for bribes... "or else" but I have not experienced this so I won't comment further. However I think it's time that those search engine that use this directory look for a new more effective method.

 

Before submitting in DMOZ, go through the submission guidelines. DMOZ has so many guidelines for submission

 

What above mentioned said is write, but there is no guarentee that they will still list your site

Plus do not go to an SEO company who offers you confirmed listing, after purchasing they will tell you a differnt story

 

Hmmm, so how do you become a DMOZ editor?

 

Press the 'apply to edit this category' button at the bottom of most every page. You will need three sites you have found that fit the category you are applying to edit. Don't pick a tiny category or one with over 100 sites INCLUDING sub categories. Make sure you read the guidelines about how sites are listed, described and what sites are allowed before you chose the three you offer, check your grammar and spelling and above all be honest about any affiliations with web sites that you are affiliated with. Oh and many editors had to apply more than once before acceptance. It's also worth noting it is voluntary and a hobby and you work in your spare time for no payment.

 

I'm also trying last 6 month but failed to listed in DMOZ. Don't know why?

 

Nah, you Cheap SEO Service are having problems to get listed too? Hard to believe.

I wonder if your paying clients know that? Well, now thanks to your post they know.

Correct. Its called an "unreviewed queue"

Then again, some refferences within the ODP do leave off the "unreviewed part" and just call it "queue"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=...&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=ae6a11a8e37ea004

So honestly, there are mixed reviews on the correct term to use.

Maybe "ignore list" would work well?

 

I wasn't actually disagreeing with you... as I do understand where you are coming from in that regard. I didn't work my 'queue' in order, making it less of a queue and more of a random list or group, or something.

Though, many have called it a queue for YEARS and only just recently decided to change it to something else (suggestion pool) which is fine...but I recon, if they are going to change a term, then need to eliminate the term from their site, so when I see 'there is no queue' I like to point out that it's till very much called that

 

Most people interpret queue to mean first in first out. It was to disabuse webmasters of this idea that your friendly editors started calling it a suggestion pool in outside forums - because it's a better description.

Editors aren't able to amend official DMOZ documentation, much as they'd like to, which is why it still uses the confusing queue word.

Of course you do. We wouldn't expect you to support a phraseology that helps non editors to understand how the system works.

 

It would seem you should also expect the same from the ODP itself.

They call it a queue, the editors do not.

They call it a service the editors do not.

They say that sites submitted to the wrong queue will be deleted, editors say it'll be moved.

Funny that...

It would seem that THEY would be right, after all, they are the ones that WROTE the rules/site... and if that's the way they want it, then why would volunteers have any right to change the meaning of such things? Are you actually trying to say that the reasoning behind the initial start of the directory has changed? That it's possibly no longer a queue because of how things are done now? That it's no longer a service because editors don't feel like calling it that?

You want non-editors to no longer be confused? Start with the non-editors that actually RUN the place.

Failing that, get all the editors together & then all get on the same page... as you may also with to check a few of the links in those google searches I did... some of those places CAN be changed by editors!

 

Although Dmoz is held up to be the holy grail I would suggest that you submit according to their strict guidlines and then get on with other things to get your site listed and organic traffic started, when Dmoz puts you on line it will be a bonus not a necessity.

 

spot on............

 

hello all;
most of time dmoz accept submit in listing or most of time refuse it ?

thanks

 

Guideline compliant sites are listed but it can take several years for a review. Non-guideline sites are rejected.

 

Or automatically listed by a bot.
