    I had about 5 domains that I had in my portfolio and had a column that showed if it was listed in DMOZ or not, but now all 5 of them have been removed. Were they removed because I had it show they were listed? :confused:

    It's the first five listed here: http://www.dayonlinesolutions.com/domains.php?sort=dmoz&soption=DESC

    Please help as I don't understand why they would have been removed just because of this...:(

    Why would showing they were listed in DMOZ cause them to be removed?

    Ever consider the possibility they were removed for other reasons?

    Hint: Why were they accepted originally?

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that somebody noticed your site suddenly consisted of:

    And figured it didn't belong. The reason is that your site needs to remain useful to the category in order to remain listed.

    Directories list websites, not URLs. When you took down the content it no longer belonged in any directory. The system worked as it should.

    * find a dmoz editor and pay to him. this is the easiest way.
    * convert those sites to SPAM sites. your site will be listed FREE.

    Dmoz editors loves money or SPAM
