Pay to get into DMOZ

Hi,

I have had a few sites listed on DMOZ but never this one site. Is there a service out there where I can pay to get my site listed on DMOZ?

No there isn't.

 

There are plenty of them. Look around closely and they will become apparent.

 

I don't see any.

 

If I were you, I wont try. Submit and forget. Otherwise you risk all of your sites to be banned.

Of course, if you want, you can contribute to ODP by becoming an editor. It is a question of personal qualities and values how you will use your account.

 

I've seen many such services being offered over here and it works! Better option would be to apply for an editor and then add all your sites. But the question is does G still give a lot of importance to DMOZ backlinks?

 

Google gives the same importance to most links(there's the exception with site's that were blacklisted or don't have PR). So if you consider that, yes it does, because there are lots of sites using DMOZ data.

 

that is how most of it is working nowadays, alot of friends adding their friends sites other connections, dmoz is pretty much useless as any kind of serious fair resource, if anything, google should completely ignore dmoz and not even spider it

 

If anything, DMOZ doesn't get new editors fast enough, but that is because they do have standards and take complaints of favoritism or partiality very seriously. It's not crooked - they may have a few bad editors, but overall the effort is there.

 

you can try getfreelancer.com or scriptlance.com.

if you search , you can find tons of more web site to buy dmoz listing.

 

getfreelancer.com or scriptlance.com would be safer cause they don't find you but you find them.

 

what is the average going rate to pay an insider to get a site listed on DMOZ?

 

There is NO evidence of that. None, ziltch, nada, nothing... not one little bit of proof they take favoritism seriously, unless of course you mean, they seriously enjoy showing favoritism...

Look up the site TOPIX and see how many listings it has. Now take into an account that site is owned by an editor, and MOST of it's listings within the ODP are little more then syndicated news pages. Now remember, syndicated content does NOT equate to UNIQUE content, something they say is the MOST important thing to get a listing.

The editors have claimed that many sites have been rejected due to having duplicate content, yet one is listed with thousands of deep links (which are supposedly NOT the norm) all with nothing in the way of original content.

Now, where is the counter proof?

As for Paid Listings, Crazy Rob is correct, there are signs of paid listings all over the place. Look over at Scriptlance and see how many COMPLETED tasks there are for a PAID DMOZ listings...
