time to get listed on dmoz....

I've submitted one of our client's site to DMOZ ....

Generally how much time it takes to get listed on the dmoz site? T
he site is one of our client and is very well known company.

 

it's hard to say .. i submit my websites for the last year now to dmoz and im still waiting to get indexed.

 

Given that half the sites that get listed in dmoz were never submitted, the shortest time is a "negative" number and that there may be an editor that has no interest in a particular category, so the longest time is an ïnfinite""number. .... I never promise my clients anything with regards to dmoz

 

" Submit and Forget " .. there aint any fixed time to get listed on DMOZ . It can take a year aswell or maybe more !!

 

or use a raccoon

 

good luck there...I'm now almost 4 months and counting

 

Yes, the raccoon method has proven to be effective.

 

Best way to get attention of editors is Racoon+Bunnies

Atleast that works for me and my sites gets hit atleast onces by dmoz , so seems like some editor looks at it

 

Is that a good thing paidhosting? I mean, if we're looking but not listing....

 

Yup it is, cause someone told me one "something is better than nothing" . also look at this way, you get few editors attention and if they like your site and its in waiting list they might go there and approve it, but if you do not get anyones attention who would know that your site even exists?

Its all about exposure

 

I bet he gets more traffic from DMOZ this way then if he was listed.

 

Yup how did u know ?

 

2 submissions in 3+ years and still waiting.

 

Roger that. I have a 3+ year site, as well.

 

Yikes! I thought 6 months was a while, but over 3 years is insane.

 

Nothing insane about it. They don't have any obligation to accept your site. Plus, sites that sit around like that most likely don't have a category editor.

 

I find you need to know someone who's an editor.

I have sites that I'm trying to get listed, over a year and nothing. Whatever though, I think it's novelty is wearing off. Especially after the 5 month server, script whatever the heck, trouble they had.

 

It can take years depending on the editor backlog. You may be better off paying for the Yahoo! directory listing.

 

I believe the opposite. In my opinion, the "exclusivity" and "elitism" of having a DMOZ link is making them even more coveted. As hard as it is to actually get a site approved, given all the problems behind the scenes - whether a lack of active editors, or resource failures - the links are, now more than ever, a premium web commodity. (although they're not literally supposed to be a "commodity")

 

my site is one year old and was submitted twice, once when launched and once few months ago when submissions were available again. guess what? still not listed, but as someone said.. submit and forget, dmoz is not the end of the internet
