New Sumission Method May I suggest a new submission method. As a person who is sitting watching the world go by since September despite doing my best and not having offended anyone - perhaps someone will hopefully understand my (AS I SEE IT) needless frustration. Whether I am right or wrong is irrelevant to the point that thousands of hours are being needlessly wasted. Firstly may I thank all the people who give their time for nothing. However - how can it be right that one site can take 13 minutes and another take 2 years to be published. Surely the vast majority of people do not set out to intentionally waste as much time as possible of their own and t…

I am a total newbie to e-commerce, I had hired someone to help build my site and teach me at my home. He has been "released" I let him go after researching his philosiphy on how to get ranked and auto submitting, and his belief in "keep submitting until you get listed" (which I had been watching him do to my site) he began submitting before my site was even finished. I had no idea he was harming my chances of getting listed with DMOZ and Google until the people at PDG soft said he was going to kill my site! I believe he has submitted my site multiple times. Am I doomed? Since he has done this, is there anything I can do to recover? I am now in the process …

This seems like the appropiate forum to ask this. I run a Yahoo Store and am having a hard time getting listed in the directory. I have tried a few categories with no luck. There is no general merchandise category that I can find a posting link in. What would be an acceptable category to list in? Thank you for your time. Paul Minichillo

I have been reading more and more that DMOZ is infiltrated with many corrupt editors who have MULTIPLE sites listed when the rest of us cannot get ONE site listed. After six years I have given up on DMOZ. Hopefully in the near future the serch engines will see DMOZ for what it IS and devalue it's relevance.

Hello, Great job in maintaining the Directory on the Web! I was looking for these Forums for some time. I always wanted to talk to someone at DMOZ about my sub-domain issue. I am the webmaster of a website that provides Residential Relocation Services. Basically, it provides Rental, Home-Buyer, Home-Seller, Moving, and Storage Services. The Site is organized by giving each of these Services a unique subdomain. The following are subdomains - www.somerelocation.com -> Main website rent.somerelocation.com -> Search for Rental Apt/Home ... sale.somerelocation.com -> Search for Home/Condo for sale.. moving.somerelocation.com -> Get FREE Moving quotes ...…

The only directory where I'd like to see my website is DMOZ, but I do not understand the reason why it is not added. This is not illegal arguments or copyright infringement, is well indexed on Google and has a good popularity in Italy. :blink: Indeed, many of the articles, guides, or tutorials available on my site are in the top of the search query on Google, the first result. DMOZ but no, he is my site still does not exist, even if I send the suggest url EVERY YEAR! :angry: Thanks to those who want to explain this great mystery! Reset74

Hi Could you help me with submit process? I submitted my site to the http://www.dmoz.com/Business/Arts_and_Entertainment/Photography/Photographers/Wedding_and_Events/North_America/United_States/Nevada/ And on submit page you suggest: Photography businesses should be listed in Regional as well as in Arts/Photography/Photographers. But when I try to submit my site to Regional there is a disclaimer: Do not submit an URL that contains only the same or similar content as other sites you may have listed in the directory. Multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites. Should I s…

I first submitted a site for a friend back in 2003 and have every few months checked on progress... still nothing. It's very depressing to do everything by the book, not over requesting updates, checking in the right category.. even volunteering to be an editor. And here we are approaching 2006 and still nothing. It would'nt be so bad, but its a great site, one of the most informative within its subject on the web. The original thread has now been archived, but if you do a search on http://www.aplacefortheheart.co.uk you should find it. I would however like to thank the editors on this forum for taking the time to at least provide some sort of contact with us.…

First of all I want to say that I appriciate Dmoz.org and the work that volunteers are putting into it. But lately I have been wondering about it's role and usability, I read on the forum that webmasters have been submitting their sites to ODP for over two years and still haven't been listed. How useful and trustworthy is ODP if it takes that long time to get sites listed in it? New sites are popping up everyday and of course they could never been listed that fast but webmasters that take the time to submit their site information to ODP must believe that their site has the quality needed to get listed. I want to keep up to date on information that relate to my …

Are the SEO-expert telling the truth when they claim that the Open Directory (DMOZ) is corrupt (and that I therefor should be paying a SEO-consultant with direct access to DMOZ to get me listed)? I have always believed that the Open Directory is indeed an independent group of website editors who see to it that the directory maintains of high standard, and than only relevant websites get listed in their (rather inadequate, but that is another matter) categories. I have three times undertaken to get my website – <url removed> – listed in the Open Directory, under the category that come closest to what Getalife is – as social & activity based networking site:…

I submitted www.stratecomm.com several months ago, to the: [Top: Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development: Designers: S] Category. The category has needed an editor all this time.

Hi I have just seen that the status check has been suspended. I have waited 2 years for a listing, the last time I asked was November 2004 when it was under review and waiting. I have recently submitted again as my site has had recent changes. I think I have been very patient but I'm not sure what to do next. How long do I wait and what do I do if I hear nothing? Gay

Hey Guys, I don't know if this is a silly question, recently submitted a site which is awaiting review, a friend told me that sites with "flash intro" pages often get rejected and that the URL submitted should be for the sites "home" page, is this true or am I being misinformed? As the site I submitted has a "flash intro". (Hopefully this is submitted to the correct thread)... Sincerely

I am web designer , programmer for over 20 years now. The common excuse for most questions asked on this forum is "volunteer editor hasn't had the opportunity to look at it yet." Most categories has no volunteers so what is this question about ? I applied to be an editor for a very small category several years ago (few months ago one more time) and no answer - I am sorry I have one already - it is - "volunteer editor hasn't had the opportunity to look at it yet.". I am not surprised because this project has gone wrong way and soon become common Internet directory manually edited. There are 1000 of them popping up everyday, some of them good some of them bad. DMOZ data bas…

A year plus? So I recently joined a company. Noticing that we're not in DMOZ, I submitted our site...but then learned from the owner that he'd done this over a year ago and then again 6 months ago. The name (and url) of our site is "Blinds.com". Kind of a 'category killer' that you'd think would be able to be listed alongside such esteemed sites as justanotherblindssite139xy.com. And I believe that we're the #1 seller of blinds on the net! But no such luck. So now I'm wondering whether our category editor is also the owner of justanotherblindssite139xy.com ...sigh...if you sense some sarcasm, please don't count it against me, I am just frustrated and would li…

I just had my main page added to the ODP for a site that is a directory of celebrity sites. Can I submit the pages for individual celebrities. For example one page is Beyonce Knowles and it lists sites that are dedicated to her. I feel that a lot of surfers would be looking for a list of sites for individual celebrities and would miss out on the service I am providing if only the main page is listed. However I do not want to be accused of spamming so that is why I am asking before submitting the pages. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I need help submitting my site <removed> to dmoz. The appropriate category is "dmoz/shopping/directories" but when I go to that page, I can not find the "suggest url" link to submit my site.
