Please let me know if this would be, else where, an appropriate place to discuss an SEO company who's falsly advertising the ability to "get around" DMOZ and misleading prospective clients. I emailed them based on their claims, and to put it midly, they stepped all over it. Unethical practices by such scam artists takes away from the hard work of DMOZ and sites legitimately listed there IMO. Thanks in advance for your time! w®m

Hello there, can anyone please change the description of my website? The DMOZ-description can be found under the link to my website at Google, if you type "Jendrik de Ruvo". It goes: "The DJ und producer from Flensburg gives an overview of remixes and releases. Words from the press are published." I don't live in Flensburg and besides that: I want Google to show my personal information/text that I added into the Meta in the HTML-document. Please change it into the ORIGINAL Meta (as it was online some few months ago): "description" content="Jendrik de Ruvo - DJ and producer of electronic dance music from Germany. Acts: Nicci Versaci, J.Ru, Wavepush…

Hello friends. Our website http://www.templatemonster.com has very old and outdated description. It says that it is a division of another company. We've submited about 20 requests during this year about editing the description, I've even personally emailed to the editor of the section. Nothing has been changed at all. We didn't get any reply. I'm watching the Web templates section regularly and can say that the editor of "Computers: Graphics: Web: Templates" section doesn't work. He needs to be replaced with the new one. Mods please take the appropriate actions. And please suggest how to change the description of our listing.

Hi Three years ago I submitted a site within a regional section for Bournemouth, UK. It was accepted and placed in the category I suggested. A year and a half later I re-branded my business in several ways, name, URL and brand image. I came to DMOZ and requested through the form for a change in our listing and name. Immediately within a couple fo days the name and url was removed and instead of complying with my request for it to be changed this was ignored and never was replaced. Why have this function for updating a sites detail if you don't carry it out. Since then I have been trying to get my site re-listed to absolute no avail. Further to this, it appea…

I've been writing/rewritig my first website for 3 months and finally put it up last Monday, tweaked it on Tuesday, submitted it to DMOZ on Wednesday and was listed by Friday! Ok so perhaps I was lucky enough to submit it at the right time (though I think the editor for the West Sussex/Bognor Regis category is quite active) but the speed means that the editor thought it was good enough to review immediately - what a compliment! I am still on a high. You have made me very happy John

As Dmoz feeds many of the search engines i feel as though it has a duty in part to restrict spam sites. However, i am a little confused as to the stance that editors take on this matter. I have found and reported websites using very bad tactics such as using hidden links which then feed into subpages loaded with keywords. These are then found in the search results of search engines. I have reported to my category editor this website on a number of occassions but have heard nothing back? Are these websites considered spam and is it worth making editors aware or are they not really that concerned once a site is in the directory?

I am writing to complain about one of Dmoz's Editor, [body of message removed] Looking forward to hearing from you, With regards, Przemysław Uliasz Szook & SitePromotor I removed the actual abuse report from this post. It has been copied to a place where the Meta editors but nobody else can read it. We appreciate your reporting this matter, and the only reason the text was removed from here is because it contained specific allegations against named editors, which is against the forum policies for this public forum. The report will be looked into. Thank you! For the future, if you have specific abuse to report, please use the report abuse function at ht…

Hello, On 21st February I filed a DMCA complaint with the Chief Counsel of AOL to have a site removed from the ODP. My understanding is that the correct mechanism for filing such a complaint is via http://www.aol.com/info/notify.html as the ODP is owned by Netscape Communications Corporation, which in turn is a subsiduary of AOL. No acknowledgement to the complaint has been made by either AOL, Netscape or the ODP. This unlawful use violates the ODP guidelines, however you should note that the site itself is not a direct copy of mine, nor is my site already listed in the directory (indeed, I am not requesting that it is). Please can you confirm if this is t…
