Should I submit again?

Your welcome to apply and spend your spare time doing voluntary,unpaid editing. A button at the bottom of almost every page.

 

Yeah I got rejected. I did what they said, reapplied and got lost in the system. Trust me, I was there, going to help, and they said no. Their loss.

If you have any pull PM me, because I have no problem volunteering and being unpaid. I do it quite often on and off the web.

 

Isnt dmoz just a honey pot for noble and seo insiders to pump pr? 2009 was supposed to bring dmoz 2.0 <snark> Google dumped them, AOL I'm shocked they updated the date to 2012 on their pages... it was 2011 before 2009 was changed <double snark> ...

Seems the closer you follow their guidlines the less chance you actually have of inclusion. Have you seen some of the sites that are listed? Sex sites under toys <tisk tisk> (here comes the Jr firemen to scream "well then report the bad links" as if we are all on their payroll.) We webmasters can help out, but won't be invited to the party. Oh look...

Proof that if you say a lie enough you'll actually start to believe it.

Jackson Brown put it best, "running on empty, running behind". This same thread will be explored ad nauseum until dmoz is ranked 100k (2015). Even Dogpile ads point out dmoz's inability to actually be a working directory anymore. Old news, moving on.

 

No, In my opinion... If you submitted your website once, then do not try to re-submit, otherwise your site go to spam in dmoz and it will never publish your site... so, i suggest don't submit twice a site in dmoz.

 

Fortunately, we aren't quite that draconian

 

Yeah but some of us could really use that PR. Try starting a political community, it's successful, but building a community is a slow painful process. Hardly thankful.

Unless you have an in I wouldn't even bother with DMOZ. It's a wasted effort and 10 minutes of your life you will never get back. Oh and you wont get in anyways....so there's that too...

 

Fortunately for DMOZ but unfortunately for you, DMOZ and its editors have absolutely no interest in any value a listing might or might not give to a listing. I don't work in my spare time for no financial reward to act as an unpaid listing service for site owners.I spend my spare time at DMOZ indulging my hobby of collecting and collating sites which might then be of interest to people who want to search the net using such categorised information and views of the value of a listing has no interest to me.

 

So basically an evasion and a pre-manufactured answer. Thanks. You might have got me if I didn't admin a political forum where this BS gets thrown back and forth daily as reply.

Stop with the volunteer BS. It's annoying. I'm a volunteer Fire Fighter and EMT. My pinky finger has done more real volunteer work than your entire DMOZ experience -___-

 

Sorry you seem to be getting upset, when I have told you the truth, but hey why let the truth stand in the way of you wanting to try and dumb a site down because they don't do just what you want them to do.

 

LOL. The truth? Bullshit. Run back to the DMOZ PR department that's paying (or since your volunteer....patting you on the back? I don't know your reasons) you to stick up for them. If DMOZ is worth the effort why don't you prove it? It has nothing to do with me, there are thousands of webmasters with the same story. SO I took up the mantle and decided to fight it and to prove a point. Problem? It's not like you've defended against it. You've evaded the question and put out some bullshit about truth no one else can understand or figure out. You can't dumb down something that's put itself in a situation and painted itself in that way. To be honest I'm already more than satisfied with your representation of DMOZ. I expected bull shit, I expected evasion, and I expected their lackeys to attempt to shield their tattered reputation from any further damage.....you came a long and did exactly that. Cheers

 

and never ever expect differently!

They will point to the add page for people to read and follow when submitting, then say that parts of it are incorrect.
They will change the meaning of terms that are used in every day life, and even terms they themselves have used and are using, yet it's new meaning is somehow different then anything ever associated with such a word outside of the ODP itself.
They will hide behind a non-disclosure yet break it when it suits them.
They say it's OK for AOL itself to break it own rules (which I guess it is) but then call people out on doing it themselves.
They will also call ex-editors out on things are are perfectly fine within the guidelines as if they did something wrong, then go on and defend current editors that are doing exactly the same thing because its within the rules.

so yeah, evasion and BS... glad you came along! Though don't expect any editor to ever concede... only troll.

 

go and get in Y!

 

In my knowledge DMOZ doesn't approve because now they charge money on submission

 

If you are being asked too pay, please post the information for all to see.

If you are not being asked to pay, that's how it's supposed to work.

The harsh reality is they are just slow.

 

Please do offer your proof, we would love to see it. You either have the proof or you are just making it up. I prefer the last.

 

Proof that some listings are paid for

but again,

But thanks for following right behind me asking for the same thing

 

You don´t need to use double negation, you could as well say: "I work in my spare time for financial reward to act as a paid listing service for site owners."

Just out of curiosity, what freelance site do you use to market your services?

 

I think people don't have time to go to DMOZ and search for websites. Only a few advertisers check it out to get info. If they don't aspprove what the big deal. Move on ... if Google does not list or index you then you should worry.

 

Its the encyclopedia of the Web, in 5 years a new version is coming out!

 

No, you should not resubmit to dmoz.
