Paying to get listed into DMOZ

I do agree with your saying. I am now re-thinking about dmoz. I had some good faith on dmoz, but now I am rethinking.

 

Snooks is right on that one... it's more then fine for an editor to list their own sites. To imply that is not the case would put you on the level of Anonymously (as he implies I've done something wrong by listing my own site).

 

paid submission banned by google

 

If these are not proof, then I think you are willing a video tape as evidence.

But sorry, I don't have any interest to buy a mission hunt to please you.

Let the people decide from my proofs, they are proof or not. Instead of taking the issue seriously you are ignoring. Keep ignoring. I am pretty sure that the freelancer is not a general Editor, he is like CAT MOD as he has listed sites in several category and active somewhere in the popular forums also.

I don't feel sad for that volunteer(!) CAT MOD because he is financially poor, so he is earning money by such corruption.

I do only feel pity for those who are still keeping (lost) faith on ODP.

We are talking about DMOZ.ORG here.

 

I point out that you listed your own site a couple of others and bolted. Snooks has listed thousands along side his own...mmm, I'll let the readers decide.

 

I have no more interest on dmoz now. And its PR is only 8.

 

There is not even the slightest difference in a thousand sites listed and 5 sites list so long as ALL of them fit within the guidelines. To imply otherwise is to say that somehow following the guidelines of the ODP is wrong. Is that what you are saying? Certainly seems like it... as if I broke a rule don't ya think my site would have been removed. Oh yeah... it was (for different reasons), and guess what, it got relisted. Must have been worthy of being within the ODP... so what is it you are implying? That listing one's own site is bad, which leads us back to what is it exactly I did wrong?

Oh yeah, heh... nothing. Now what is it you are doing wrong? Oh yeah, trolling, lol.

Let the readers decide.

 

What was dmoz's earlier PR? Currently it is PR8. I have heard that dmoz was PR10 site. Is it so?

 

I dont suggest you paying for that

 

Whom you are talking to? Read the thread properly before you make a post.

 

Why don't you just submit yourself? Instead of paying some guy $250 to do it for you?!

 

there is a difference between suggesting a site & getting a site listed. The guy(gal?) is asking about paid listings, not paid submissions (which paying for someone to do something like submit would be a comical folly)

 

Also there is difference between suggesting a site by site owner and submitting by dmoz editor. Isn't it? :d

 

No, if an editor submits to a category they do not edit, it's the same...

 

Submitting by Editor isn't like listing by him?

Submitting from another ip and identity and listing by his own?

 

NO, and what?

Editors can list their own sites within any category they edit, though most of what they add SHOULD conform to the guidelines, as if it does not they can get in trouble. But outside of their areas where they can edit, they are often treated just like everyone else... though in many cases one editor can get another editor to list a site for them...after all, that's what friends are for

 

You have cleared my confusion.

That means only higher level editors can list a site wherever he wants?

 

I'm pretty much in the same boat with you on this one, except I did get my company's site into DMOZ once and was later removed. They don't tell you why and I've since resubmitted and have been waiting for a few years for some action. Either they haven't gotten to it or my site is blacklisted. Not sure, but I've pretty much given up on DMOZ.

 

Editors can list sites in categories where their names are listed and in any categories below the one they are named in. There are a few hundred of us that are named in a category but can, in fact, edit anywhere in the directory, though many of us stick to the areas in which we specialise mostly.

Any editor can offer sites to categories in which they cannot edit. I am pleased to say that I have never been asked to specially edit any site submitted by an editor, their own or any other. Most sites submitted by editors, which do show up differently in our editing lists, are in fact sites that they have moved because the site has been suggested to the wrong category, and mostly I would expect editors suggesting their own sites to do it as any other suggester would if they are suggesting their own sites to a category they do not edit in.

 

I think you are saying these earlier here. We were talking about the corrupt dmoz high level editor who is in freelancer.com
