I would greatly appreciate if anyone could let me know what's is that I should correct in my submission details for inclusion.

Dmoz is somebody's SEO tools? I can not believe many search engines use Dmoz as their directory. I think my website is good enough to join the Dmoz, but I am still waiting ~~~~one year? two years? forever?

Hello, I am John and am with Whipnet. We have many themed based websites and a couple listed in the DMOZ. My question is the ones that got listed did so rather quickly, but my favorite, the UFO site has not been. I have been waiting over 2 years now. That site has over 1000 html pages and is listed on all other directories. My question is: Is 2 years too long to wait to get listed, and where might I go now? I hear resubmitting is bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated. John Whipnet Technologies *

i heard from lot of people that Dmoz is an open source directory, but starngely what i see is that in no manner its open source. they list sites only what they think is good for their interest even the sites which complies with a category doesnt get to listed there just because of bias or some unkown reason. from all of the people out there they know what an open source means, and Dmoz is in no way comply with that. i hope to see them amending their way of working or else they can see them going down in future.

Hi, Can someone help please. Our website has been listed in dmoz for over 6 years, only now is it causing us a few problems because the listing is without the www. and maybe giving us a duplication penalty in google. I have submitted the site to be changed but there does not seem to be an editor. How long does it normally take for someone to look at listings to be updated please? Could someone look at this for us please if possible Thank you. Wayne Cadman.

Well, everyone else seems to be opening big, long threads detailing exactly what their views on the ODP and their alleged problems are-- and then changing them halfway through. It looks like fun, so I figure I'll take a stab at it. Here's the sicchyation as I see it: (1) ODP does, regardless of intent, impact site listings in Google, and thus, will always be given URLs and expected to list them. (2) ODP editors and members do not understand eachother at all. (3) People refuse to read. (4) Promising a listing timeframe takes the "volunteer" out of the editor description, which means there are less volunteers, and therefore less listings. (This is obviously a…

I have tried to get my website <url removed> listed on the Open directory for years now and for the love of it been totally unsuccessful. It must be my approach to it or something I am never going to solve. I have given up trying to get my site listed but what amazes me is that my website is very highly rated in Australia and ranks well with ALL search engines and not found by the Open Directory. http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=Young+Victor+Boxing you may try try this and while you are in that page click on all the suggested search engines and will all show as number one. I run a very clean and honest website and frquently told it it superb. If anyo…

I used to be listed in DMOZ and sometime last year my site was removed and I have no idea why. I can only assume that it may be because I moved interstate so the contact details on my site were different? I think I was in a regional category. I have since resubmitted my site with no success (I has been months now). Why would sites get removed if they have done nothing wrong? Shouldn't I just have been moved to a different region if that's the reason? Unfortunately my Google rank has suffered severley (as in no. 650!), I assume because I'm not longer listed in DMOZ. It's very hard to build up a small business when things like this happen as I effectively have no online web…

Hi We have develope many web sites and most of them are listed in Yahoo and some in dmoz. We have the following sites which are listed in Yahoo <urls removed> We hired an SEO company to submit to directories including DMOZ.

Since we want to follow the rules we dont know what to do; we would like to know whether these sites were submitted, or submitted many times or submitted to the wrong category and if there were any issues how to rectify or how to contact the editors. As you can see these sites are not a spam site but gives good content to our visitors and getting good goog…

I have tried to submit my site to the directory a couple of times over the past 8 months. I do believe it was rejected the first time which was probably due to my inexperience. My website is only small but it does provide reasonable content. I did not build the site to gain entry into dmoz and only became aware of the directory when submitting to other directories. The site as I said is not a big corperate site it started as a hobby. Since my first submission I felt that I had made improvements to the site. Additionally, I took a more care in my application. The category I feel the most appropriate has no editor and only 12 sites. However, these site are owned by busine…

Hey,moderator! I find that there are only 4 site listed in the category "Home: Homemaking: Frugality: Coupons ". As is known to all,the E business is growing so fast nowadays,and thousands of sites about online coupon information have already been founded to help people save their money during online shopping. However,the 4 sites in the "coupons" category are only related to the printable coupons ,I wonder why don't you index some famous online coupon sites? Thank you!

It's been over two years since our attempt to get <url removed> listed in dmoz under homework help and tutoring but we never did get listed, even though it's one of the bigger homework help service sites on the net. Is there anything else that we should do now, there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel here?
