The point to focus on How to get DMOZ listing. I had tried and it doesn't work. Anyone know please advise what is the point to focus on to get DMOZ listing. Look forward to hear from you.
The point of getting a DMOZ listing is so that you can get a better Alexa rating so that you can sell your site for more money, at which time it will then be removed from the directory because shortcuts are not allowed. Other then that, it's just a directory link. Submit once and promote your site by other means, add new content to what you have, and spend your free time playing outside, assuming the weather is nice. Wastng away worrying about whether or not an Editor will review your listing is simply futile. Their CAPTCHA is nearly impossible to get to work, so even suggesting can take hours Suggesting more then once supposedly moves the listing to the bottom of the list Editors do not have to look at suggested sites Editors do not have to look at YOUR suggested site Editors do not have to approve suggested sites Even if your category has an editor that could/would look at reviewed sites the editor only needs to really add in one once every couple of months In the end, you should just just submit and forget, or with all the points against getting a listing at all, forgetting to submit can often give the same inclusion time
What Q has said is an opinion . Everyone is entitled to one. The point to focus are mentioned quite clearly and categorically here. Things to note : that advice will be soon torn apart by many here soon, however believe me that is best outline you can ever have . Read it and re-read it over , IF you are interested to. I won't however dispute what he said at and remember , you are only requesting a review ... not a advertisement or paid service.
Yes, my post is all opinion, though it should be noted that everything in my post has also been said by editors. In fact, I can provide links that have editors stating that following the guidelines is shakey advice. So in the end it's all opinion... However, even though my post is opinion, are you trying to imply that I am wrong and that editors MUST go through the queue? That the OP's site MUST be looked at? That CAPTCHA is not messed up? That editors actually need to make edits more then once every couple of months?
Great if you get in, but don't bet the farm on it. Promote your site in other ways.. is very good advice.
i am suggesting , a link pointing to the original instructions are best for everyone involved . Analysis and interpretation often leads to misinterpretation , which in turn results in more wrong than right . And following that , more dissatisfaction and rumors.
Sorry, its just I get conflicting messages from editors. The last time I said follow the guidelines to get a listing I was told the advice was shakey by an editor. So you'll have to forgive me not saying it again.
Well, Q, if you don't know what you are talking about, as you clearly do not just copying what you think you read, then you might be better going and finding some area that you do have knowledge of and posting there. here you just confuse people with your twisted and garbled views.
So, what you are saying is nothing? Explain to the fine folks here how it's wrong when I say to follow the guidelines but right when someone else does. Go on, explain it. Or maybe explain how I'm in the wrong for telling someone to become an editor when you've suggested the same thing yourself. I'm waiting to know just what your logic here is. Oh, forgot, your point on these forums is to troll ex-editors, and to confuse the rest of the readers. How about you keep to the topic at hand rather then turning it into something about me?
Eh, it was you who said you copied what you were told, but I thought from the knowledgable way you speak you should know those things for yourself. perhaps when you give advice you might preface it with your editing experience, so those who read know from what experience you draw to offer your advice.
Experience is secondary to the knowledge. I know that jumping from a tall building is going to hurt. Because I have not jumped does not mean that I am not wrong. The fact that I was an editor at all should be a sign that I have at least a grasp on the guidelines. The fact that I can visit the directory and see what has been listed should show I have at least the base knowledge of what is or can be listed. Now tell me again how I am wrong when I say what you say, then explain to me how you are right. There is NO logic in that, none. If what I am pasting is some how wrong, then then what I copied is also wrong. Or does me saying it some how make true statements false? Again, it falls down to you attacking me rather then what I've said.
