I'm flipping out :)

HEEHEE Thanks - I will try that approach !!

 

That is really cool....Great story!!

 

Hah

I sent the email at 8:30pm
It is now 2am

just got this email

Wow it does not hurt to try
I should write a press release too

 

I got all excited when mine was featured

USA TODAY

Its a great feeling - and something you can brag about to family and friends. I remember my Dad finally realized I was actually "working" instead of "playing computer" when her learned of my USA Today mention.



Congrats!

 

wow .. that is awesome!!! My Real Estate Forum will be next

 

Guys,
Please keep us posted whether Yahoo! links you in the directory. I have yet to see mine listed after I appeared in USA TODAY, so let me know what's up with your sites. This would be a cool little secret on how to get listed in Yahoo if it works.

Thanks.

 

mine is up today

What makes you think Yahoo uses USA Today for its listings?

 

Yeah it could be a fluk that Japanese Names got picked up

 

Note a fluke!!!! Just got listed in Yahoo!s directory!

http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/Humanitie...d/20th_Century/Military_History/World_War_II/

I am "World War II in Color"

 

what that means I may be finally able to get into Yahoo?

 

Looks like it....now, lets keep this hush I want to submit more sites down the road.....lol.

 

Getting into yahoo for free is a major deal
I do hope my site gets it...

I agree we should delete this thread this was very easy or very lucky

Not only did we get listed in USA TODAY but out of the 3 sites they pick each day we all got the top spot

delete thread

 

Delete thread!

 

Hey Haichi and skunker that is great about your sites.

You know, it may not just be Yahoo Directory that picks you up. I noticed in my stats yesterday that a DMOZ editor has been looking around too. I did submit to them a long time ago, so this may just be coincidence, but I have heard a lot of people in other forums complaining about DMOZ not being very good these days so this could be a USA Today effect.

 

They are going to be swamped with Digitalpoint forum members' sites now. Ha ha ha!

I think they were hiding their email address on the archive page for a reason.

Don't delete the thread. Let others benefit as you have.

 

I was only joking about that stephemunday


I am a DMOZ editor but I have been so bored with it I don't want to edit new cats
I've been doing it for years now not sure if dmoz means much to anyone anymore

But getting Yahoo would be nice


 

 

Haichi!! Can you please help me with DMOZ? Man I've been waiting like years to get in...and my site is following their guidelines. What else can I do?

 

I'm hearing this story so much lately.

 

I can't really get you in if your site is not in my CAT
but I can try to help you find the best ways to get listed faster
DMOZ editors go on vacation often

I was away for a while after I posted this I felt guilty and went to edit my cats

PM me there is a DMOZ help forum I can link you to let me look for it
