Multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites. So according to their guidelines that's 3 times too many. A fact that they mention twice on their "suggest url" page. But I wonder if the rejection is based more on how you described your site when you suggested it. Care to share?
We would ask that you prove that statement that once you get into DMOZ things are great. How can inclusion in a directory is used by no one, edited by even fewer and has entire sections of their directory that have not had a single entry added since Clinton was President any value to anyone? You may claim that Google uses them for authority but I will tell you that even Google with 10 algo changes since Dmoz was relevant has since dropped the value of anything to do with DMOZ to near ZERO and feel free to prove me wrong with SPECIFIC examples. DMOZ used to be filled with corrupt editors that would list anyone for a few bucks, now it is a bunch of old timers who do nothing and provide nothing except to come here and a few other places and cut and paste the same old crap about not submitting multiple entries etc. It's old and tired and no one is impressed anymore. DMOZ is DOS 2.0 in a MAC OS world.
Yes their garbage filters are very state of the art that a single submission would take more than 24 hours to move from one place to another. They must not be feeding the monkeys as much as they used to to turn the cranks.
There is NO guarantee that submitting to DMOZ will ever get you listed. Do not hold your breath and simply go on about your business. If it happens it happens but since it does not really matter to Google that much anymore, do NOT stress about it. Do all your other SEO task and your site will be fine, then if one day an editor decides to include your site, you will have a happy surprise. I have many #1 sites and have seen many more that are NOT listed in DMOZ and dont care if they are since you can rise to #1 with good content which will get you legit links which will render your need for a listing, a null.
Yes none are added though they will say they have. May be they have, but their own or their friend's. Anyway, I don't wish my sites to get listed in DMOZ. I have no more interest about DMOZ listing.
Well, it is very much alive. It may be in the throws of death, but it's still likely got several years of discussion left in it
She says in her signature that her opinion doesn't represent ODP. Hence we can ignore her comments regarding DMOZ is alive.
I don't understand why one gets red reputation point when he goes disagree with DMOZ staff. Its kinda annoying.
