Speeding up process to DMOZ [legitimate question...]

I am working with an SEO company and they say they have a way to get a faster submission into DMOZ. Is this really even possible?

 

well if one of them is active editor

 

Likely higher then just an editor, as they would need a broader range to allow for more diverse clients.

 

I see... so that is the only way a site could possibly be approved quicker? If it is really that easy to become an editor then why is dmoz such a respected resource?

 

It's generally not that easy... but assuming they can get "any site in quicker" then chances are something is fishy, or they are lying to you.

Depending on the category and/or editor it can take from a few days to a few years to get accept for any given site. There is no official (or officially unofficial) means to speed up the process.

 

Ok, thank you for the help!

 

Not a problem

Though, can I ask what site, and where are they making this claim?

 

if you do search site:dmoz.org seo profile on Google you can find plenty SEO experts volunteering as editors in DMOZ and these are just ones who said it openly! so add few thousands editors who didn't reveal it openly...

apparently that isn't possible Conflict of Interests but having a hobby 2050+ pages multilanguage website full of unique content IS - only at DMOZ

I should have made bunch of MFA junk websites instead at lest I would earned something

 

I'd like to see that secret SEO forum where like minded SEO experts trade DMOZ links to help them in their jobs. At least such a network would be freaken brilliant...

Of course, they'd not let me in, I'm far from an SEO expert (lol)

 

Yep thousands of worthless links getting exchanged each day.

Putt a Voodoo curse on them, I already did.

 

Lol is it like the stash , dope sort of thing that gets moved around without cops even noticing it ?

 

And people are already get high when there website getting listed... will DEA agents now shutdown DMOZ and arrest senior editors for distribution of illegal substances? There are more then enough DMOZ junkies to prove the case in court.

 

If you really want to pay and it is important for you to get listed but you should know that it doesn't have any special value:

There are "senior" editors who charge for DMOZ listing in disguise of "SEO" work, so it is certainly possible but don't pay anything until your site is listed. They should be able to do that since they can easily remove it again if you don't pay.

 

Sage advice, some I may pass along to others. Thanks for pointing it out, you've likely saved random site owners several hundred dollars
