Should i submit to multiple areas in dmoz

Hi,

Forgive me if this is a silly question, I have submitted my site www.beginner-tutorials.com over 2 months ago now to http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/PHP/FAQs,_Help,_and_Tutorials/
It has not been added as of yet / last update august 1 2009.

My question is should i submit again as i submitted before august 1 and maybe it was not accepted.

Also as my site consists of not only php tutorials but c++ tutorials and Java tutorials which where wrote by me should i submit to multiple areas. Someone told me this was against the rules (is this true).

Really hard to get in, i worked really hard on my tutorials(content) with over 60 tutorials now - my goal is to write nearly 100 - 150 so i am hoping that the dmoz editors will see that i am serious.

What do you think.

Kindest Regards
Fergal.

 

Once you have submitted once to the one best category you have done all you can do. Anything else is likely to be counterproductive.

Submitting again only overwrites the previous submission with the new submission date.

Submitting to more than one category is against the guidelines (unless its a regional and topical category). Editors can and do add site to more then one category and that is within the guidelines - its just submitting is not.

 

If your site fits into more than one category. Be sure you choose an active category before suggesting. Most DMOZ categories are abandoned and listing out-dated sites. If your site goes to one of these, it will never be reviewed.

You can check the date category was last updated at the bottom of the page. You should check sites currently listed there and see whether they are up-to-date, also.

 

fergald - It isnt uncommon for editors to see a content rich site covering several subjects and use deeplinks from it elsewhere, but it probably isnt in your best interest to send it multiple categories. Choose the place it fits best and submit there. If it is a tossup, then submitting to the one that seems to be the most actively edited is in fact a good idea.

 

thanks for replies, i think this is the best category for my genuine tutorial site.
One last thing though, as you can see above the category was updated on august 1 2009 should i resubmit as obviously i was not accepted.

what do you think, i know the dmoz editors are really busy.

Kind Regards
Fergal

 

i agree with this

Mr. Jones is correct. Deep linking seems pretty much reserved for huge commercial sites, schools (.edu), and for sites owned by editors. THe average submitter trying to get multiple links is generally looked at as a spammer.
