My guess would actually be lack of content, or maybe poor content. But then, I guess we may never know, as there is no way we can help you, unless you help us help you. Why weren't you listed & what category did you submit too?
Actualy its the fastest directory in history. DMOZ adds up to 8000-10000 new sites a month. No other directory comes remotely close to that.
I just got a venomous PM from another member re my last post. Talk about a chip on their shoulder. If you want to verify what I said in the message above, just download some successive rdf dumps from DMOZ and see for yourself how many sites are added. I guess the truth just does not want to be heard by some.
dmoz likes web sites but it only likes the web sites of editors . i'm so sad because of this but dont trust dmoz anymore
I don't care about Dmoz at all. They are no more then the next directory in my list where I am sure no body will review my site. I have seen so much shits in their listings. I have seen 3 sub pages looks the same way on different domains and they were fully crap. I have reported them and only 2 of them were removed. When I check results again, I saw 3 more like this on free hosting with pop ups. And this is in a very general category. Even the smallest directories will never list such sites. However if you are listed in Dmoz you will get many more links from clones, and your pr will increase to 4-5 or something.
I've heard of reports of some dmoz moderators being bias. When you submit a site which is a potential threat to their own website, they don't add up your site.
yerp I also stopped using dmoz a while back, it certainly does not seem to pass juice like it use to. I have submitted just 1 site in the last 12 months, it took 2-3 months to become listed. minimal juice
If its www.HaaBi.com, then its probably not listable. There are a zillion other sites like that one and unless it offers something that others don't (ie unique), then it won't be listed. It also looks a reseller for duoservers, in which case its definitly not listable.
You can report anything like that you think may be a legit claim. There is an official form for it someplace, or you can try to contact a higher ranking editor personally. That said, MOST editors are not that way, at least I'd like to thing they aren't
Problem is there are too few editors to cover everything and there is nothing forcing editor to list competitor website if he/she doesn't want to, there should be no backlog rule for categories editor wants personally to cover and if backlog exist for more then a month editor should automatically lose that category (if he/she is editall doesn't mean much but at lest it will get people to apply).
[subliminal message on] If everyone that is disgusted or just does not believe in DMOZ, you should submit your site to the LinksQuitters Directory. Yes we are a paid directory but now have available deep link listing with your submission. [subliminal message off] It still just cracks me up all the trash talk about DMOZ that goes in these threads yet there are hundreds of threads talking about DMOZ. I will never get it.
Chuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkyyyyyyyyyy !! It's really hard in both ways since some METAS and Higher Ranks would go as far as getting additional accounts in a Forum while speaking of HONESTY and HONOR. I don't get that too. As for the others I am not concerned as most sites are not listable and think that their sites are ready. (of course its their sites and proud of it) As for the subliminal message. Isn't this WONDERFUL ? ps I also took a glance on some listed sites in directory section. Me Not Happy. Maybe martty can do something.
