Hi, I have been trying months upon months to update my website on dmz. Numerous emails over the months to dmz and nothing. The description of my website is not even close. I do not sell Royalty free images and would like dmz to update my listing. These listings are causing an issue and I need them corrected. [Website details removed] What do I do to get dmz to update my listings? The editors wont update it, the staff email wont change it? Any info would be great!

http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Desktop_Customization/Cursors/ but I noticed that there was a site that was listed in http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Desktop_Customization/ Shouldn't it be moved to cursors instead? So I was wondering if this section has any editors or not? Because I have submitted several sites to cursors and have not received any e-mail back...so I'm wondering if this section is not managed?

Hi, Firstly, I would like to apologise in advance if I am not allowed to post suggestions for new categories or if I am in the wrong forum. I don't actually want to add a website but I often use the directory to find websites and I was a little shocked when I couldn't find a Habbo Hotel category but I can find a Neopets category. If one is created I will happily suggest websites to go in there as I know quite a few! I am currently looking in /Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Online_Communities/. Thanks, Zagek

Greetings, It seems that it has been a long time since the Hebrew directory in DMOZ has been updated. There are numerous of important/relevant web sites that have been around for years and yet to be added to the directory. I have tried to post a few of them, but I haven't got any response and it has been over a year since I've sent my suggestions to the directory. I hope anyone in this forum can shed some light on this issue. Ayahuasca.

Was reading all the topics about questions, answers, frustrations and so on, about the DMOZ listings. I'm not here to judge anybody and it is not my intention to be critical against a volunteer based project, but I must post here my experience, because I'm also one of many others who have tried and tried for about two years now to update my site's listings and finally I gave up. As I wrote, I tried many times to update my site's listings. To be clear enough: my company sells its own products and as such I think it has the most valuable information about the products. I changed the domain extension, the old listing's descriptions are outdated (the company is growing and…

A general question. Are Dmoz checking the activity of his editors? For instance effectivity - % processed applications per month/week... Do the editors active - not loged in since months.... I would say from my experience of vBulleting usage on which is this forum also based, it would be nice to push all editors register in this forum and one can keep eye on them as well lot of questions could be clarified with community and say asking for a suggestion about this or that application...

Hi all...I've followed the instructions, and sent through a request to the editor to alter my listing. Google uses my DMOZ description for it's listing, and it does not accurately reflect my business anymore (I've moved into wedding photography, and my listing only states 'babies'!!). I've managed to get good ranking for my keywords but I really feel this is affecting my conversion rate...why would anyone click on a listing that say's 'baby photographer' after they've done a search for weddings. I just can't seem to get any response to get this altered. Is there any other avenues I can pursue? Thanks

If DMOZ is run by AOL, is there someone paid by AOL who has the hat on and has some kind of general responsibility? I want to make a complaint outside of the DMOZ complaint system and move the complain one level higher then DMOZ itself. Who is responsible at AOL for DMOZ and had the power to make general "political" changes?

Does anyone know if anyone ever tried to sue the DMOZ organization or an editor for "unfair competition". E.g. if a websites of competitors are listed and there is no apparent reason why it has not been added for a long time? E.g. if it can be prooved that in a certain category are only a small number of new site additions and the editor has logged in regularly, it would be hard to prove he has not "seen" the website. If several independent people would come to the same conlusion, a website is worth to be listed, this would be a clear case. What do you think? I also know that terms&conditions are not always accepted, i.e. sometimes terms&conditions (e.g. …

I have filed a DMOZ complaint last year. The status is still unchanged and nothing happend. The complaint has been ignored/not been read. Is there too many complaints to DMOZ can not process them? Or has the complaint system been disabled or forwarded to a shredder?

DMOZ warrant any value from search engines? I mean this question in all seriousness and with the utmost respect I can muster. The directory is so old, so out of date, so out of touch, that I don't really understand how or why search engines would grant it any sort of value. I think that because of its design (or the way in which submissions are added) it can never hope to be a viable "open" directory. If some of the sub-directory categories really do take years to be updated, how can DMOZ be any kind of relevant or accurate reflection of the internet (especially considering the pace at which websites are born, expand, and ultimately die)? One might argue that DMOZ is m…

I need a new category to be created so that I can submit my site in the right place. Since I am not an editor I cannot do this myself and going via the “How do I suggest a new category” route led to the error message “Service temporarily unavailable”. I want to submit my site under the following category Society > Religion and Spirituality > Buddhism > Lineages > New Kadampa > Centers and Monasteries > Norway, but Norway is not yet a category here, so could an editor out there please add Norway and then reply to this thread so that I can submit my site. Thanks.

Hi there, We run the web site We were located inside: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Industries/Wholesale/ but not anymore! When you do a search for glow sticks, we still come up in the search ranks in dmoz, and the directory stated next to the listing indicates the above url. We wanted to be moved to a more relevant directory: http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Toys_and_Games/Novelty/Glow_in_the_Dark/ The funny thing is, I can't for the life of me remember actioning this move, I'm getting a bit forgetful you could say. My question is, does it look like it will appear in the 2nd directory? Strange how it still shows…
