david Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 here is the dmoz directory I have submitted the website months ago: http://dmoz.com/Games/Gambling/Guides/ Thank you
thehelper Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 The site has been declined a listing numerous times. It is currently awaiting editorial review again in the category you mentioned but unless the content has changed significantly since your last submission I would expect the same declined status the next time an editor views the submission.
david Posted May 16, 2004 Author Posted May 16, 2004 What do I have to do to get approved? I have over 5,000 articles concerning online gambling on my website. Could you give me some suggestions please? Thank you in advance.
Meta hutcheson Posted May 16, 2004 Meta Posted May 16, 2004 "Sites that give the impression of being primarily designed to drive commercial traffic to other sites, are [by ODP staff fiat] NOT to be listed." "Editors are to ignore advertising, if possible, and judge a site based on the remaining content." I think either of those snippets (paraphrased from staff edicts) would keep this site or any possible derivative of it from ever being listed. Basically, there is no intersection between your purpose and the ODP mission. But the net is large, and there are numerous venues for promotional site promotion: so the sooner you realize you've done what you can to the ODP and turn your promotional efforts in some of those numerous other more fruitful directions, the less frustrated we all will be.
