Why does a group that professes to be focused on maintaining a quality directory with relavant links consistently fail to maintain the directory properly? Throughout these threads there is a common theme: *Sites take forever to be added, if they are added at all *Relevant sites that have been listed for quite some time, just disappear Yet when anyone brings up these issues, many times moderators and editors talk down to those individuals, as if they are somehow better than them. I find the arrogance of many editors to be quite humerous, especially since many of the catagories within the directory feature dead links to sites that no longer exist, links to spam adv…

Hello! Our site is in DMOZ, but it is not in Google Directory. The category of Google Directory, as it seems to me, wasn't updated for about for a long time. Does anybody know, how to be listed in Google Directory? Thanks!

Could anyone be so kind as to explain why my listing for <url removed> has been dropped from the regional category that it was in? It was originally listed under local businesses in Tamworth, Staffordshire, UK. http://web.archive.org/web/20060818092907/http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Staffordshire/Tamworth/Business_and_Economy/Computers_and_Internet/ We are still based in Tamworth, Staffordshire, UK, but the listings are no longer there. Would you please be able to explain why this has happened? Regards, Simon

I submitted my site approximately a year ago, waited the requested 30 days, and resubmitted. Since that time, I have seen very few edits or changes in the requested category, (Business: Agriculture and Forestry: Consulting) which may mean that the editor is busy elsewhere. A friend with a similarly focused site submitted his site, at an earlier date, to a different category (Regional: North America: United States: North Carolina: Localities: R: Raleigh: Business and Economy: Industrial ) and has been accepted. My question is, have I made an error in my selection of a category? Is there a moderator or forum member that would be willing to offer an opinion, if permitted…

Is there any reason for a site to disappear from DMOZ after being there for 6 years? No tricks to the site, just a good site that has been well regarded over the years. Can't seem to find us anywhere now? We have been the number one supplier of Inflatable Furniture for years? Befuddled:confused:

I have 2 sites listed...first off, I can't get them updated, have tried to send the information about 6 times and the editors don't seem to accept or review it, but the main problem is they DID make a revision and change teh title and URL of one of the sites to be the same as teh other!

Hi, I have tried to get my web portal listed for years without success- under the category "International Business and Trade" - specifically "Directories". This has been really frustrating because one of my competitors "TradePort" gets top billing under this category, and they don't even have a directory! Could someone tell me what the "star" in front of their name means? - and if anyone still edits this secton? I have volunteered to be an editor, not to get myself listed, but because I do believe organizing this material could be a useful resource to use on other websites, and I have some good experience in this area. Does anyone know how long this might take?…

I just wanted to say Thank You to the Resource Zone forum! This forum should be required reading for anyone interested in becoming an editor, submitting a site, and wanting to know the status of thier submissions. Before coming here, the ODP was a faceless, unbreakable monolith in my mind. The ODP didn't care about my submissions. The ODP didn't want me as an editor, The ODP was the root of all evil! Since I've spent some time reading about what goes on "behind the scenes" and posting some questions, I have a completely different view of the ODP. It REALLY is edited by human beings, many with the same life complications and commitments that I have! Wow! That I can …

Hello, I have a website for an actor. I've tried to add it a couple of times in the last 6 months and it hasn't been added yet. I've only just seen in the forum that it may take years so I'm not going to try again. A few months ago though I tried to become an editor for that category. Because one of the links there has been dead for a long long time, another hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and there are 3 more sites about that actor (including my own) that are the only currently working sites for him and none of them has been added. I've been rejected for becoming an editor because I have a site about him and they're afraid my opinion will be biased, which I …

My website is listed in a non-English category. It is a noncommercial site which I have maintained for ten years. Earlier this year, I moved my site to a dedicated domain and set up a "site moved" page at the old URL. Shortly thereafter, I submitted an URL update request for the ODP listing of my site. I went through the usual procedure to update a listing, giving a valid email address and so on. Nevertheless, my listing still has the obsolete URL. It's been five months now. Looking at the date at the bottom of the ODP category page indicates that the category in question is being constantly updated. However, all changes in the category this year appear to be remova…

Hello - I have been listed on dmoz for several years - when I had originally submitted I submitted under the wrong category (a newbie at the time) and once listed I contacted DMOZ and they were nice enough to correct the error-the site was active in the correct category for around 3 years. I saw as of a few months the correction was undone - the site was listed back under the original category I should not have sumbitted to and was removed from the proper category it sat in for 3 years. I put in an editing request and have not heard back - what can I do? It is affecting our business. I thank you for your help in advance -

Hello, I am a web developer for a company that is listed in the top 300 internet sites. We have submitted our URL 4 times in the last three years, about every 9 months and still are not listed. We comply with all of the guidelines and still can't get listed. The category is “Shopping: Home and Garden: Windows: Window Coverings: Blinds". I am getting the feeling our competition is an editor. Please help resolve this problem.

I see several listings for the same site several times, some times they have listings for domains that have been parked on top of other domains, i.e. five differnt ODP domain listings pointing to the same domian. Is this a form of spamdexing, I know a editor has the right to list the same site in multiple categories, when the occasion permits I have heard the term "Black Hating" used in this forum a couple of times can not remember where. I don't have the devious mind so trying to figure this one out evades me. What is "Black hating" and how does it effect the OPD. How would one identify "Black Hating" and its occurrences. I have always been told "The on…

Hi, I've got a similar story to the other guy who has been submitting his site for a while with no joy. Although I've submitted our site twice, I'm unsure of why it's not being listed. I've submitted my site under: Business: Marketing and Advertising: Public Relations: Agencies: S But it appears either I'm breaching a guideline I don't know about, or the editor of that category is asleep (the category hasn't moved/changed in a while). My website is squareonepr.com.au We're a public relations agency/consultancy. The only thing I can think of is that it's a parked domain. If you have a look squareonepr.com goes to the same place as the .com.au website…

Not sure if this has been brought to the attention of the administrators, but you should consider reading this article blog: http://www.seo-scoop.com/2006/07/22/google-trusts-dmoz-editor-spam/ Apparently a spamming exploit has been discovered and is being abused.

I have been trying for nearly 2 years now to amend my website’s Open Directory description, which is now very much out of date. The current (old) description is proving to be an embarassment, especially as google is now picking up the same description. I’ve submitted many revised descriptions over the last 2 years using the Open Directory pages, but for some reason, all my attempts to submit the new description are completely ignored. I feel that as I submitted the original description, I should be able to amend it. Is my lack of success something to do with the human editor of my website’s category or is it something else? Grateful for someone giving me the ne…
