Ivan. Pets have fragile necks. Don't squeeze them so hard, you maniac. The pet site doesn't work for me either, but it's because I don't surf and Flash. Must be a Flash site. I have no patience for Flash sites.
But he kept biting me trying to chase me out of my apartment! It took several fights to get that parrot to sign truce and accept that he has to share the place with me.
my site? It's not a flash site... there is one flash banner on the whole site... thats all. I didn't see anyone say it doesn't work for them either
My Canadian garden is getting to be on the cold side... Still worth a walk in the autumn leaves. The biggest factor that renders DMOZ irrelevent is its inability to keep up with the growth of the web, and with all the tricks webmasters are using to stuff the internet with copied or "un-original" content.
The it needs to focus itself on productive areas of high quality sites and dump the dross that entwines editors and stops them working effectively. Smart submission would do that, dumping whole categories of spam magnets would do that. It has been said that if there are editors willing to list sites in spam magnet cats then let them. Fine at that time, but someone else has to pick up and maintain it later. Someone else has to keep an eagle eye on those editors who are too keen to jump in there. Seriously, with editor numbers set to fall beneath 7000 by the end of the year, something has to be done that a lot of people including editors will not like. But I am not entirely convinced that the current inaction is not by design on the part of the owners - let it slowly die.
Betting time! Demise projected for the first week of July 2009. I am an incorrigible optimist. You have to be in my line of work, HAHAHA.
How grate could it be, if they don't approve the link in years. I am very unhappy with them and stopped submitting to them long back. Thanks
Been submitting to DMOZ for years... never got one in. Don't know if it helps, but it hasn't really hurt anything either.... my 2 cents.
back in the days when i didnt know anything about seo or link exhchanges etc, i submitted a site to dmoz on advice from a friend. That was the only effort i put in on actually marketing that site. About one and half years later, after learning about PR and importance of backlinks etc, i checked the site and found that it was sitting pretty with about 3,000+ backlinks and PR6 on its homepage! I am quite sure that out of those 3,000 atleast two-thirds must have been from directories using dmoz's content.
That was then. This is now. There's no doubt that at one time a huge part of the attraction to DMOZ listings was the links from the hundreds of DMOZ clones out there. Google has come a long way in discounting duplicate content since then. Don't delude yourself into thinking you'd get that kind of value from a DMOZ listing today.
