For fear of sounding petty, I wondered how the site http://www.fitnessoptions.co.uk managed to get into the category below. After all it is merely a static page - hardly quality content. Business > Consumer Goods and Services > Sporting Goods > Fitness Equipment A little annoying when my own sites http://www.thehealthzone.co.uk or http://www.one-life.me.uk have not been added in the six months of trying, even though they have pages of useful content.

Is this web site affiliated to the ODP or one of your editors? http://www.isubmit.com/ If I pay $29.99 I have a guaranteed listing. Is this true? Thanks for your time.

I asked this question in another thread, but I think that it would be more appropriately posted here. Suppose that someone else was submitting my site from time to time in other categories... This effectively takes me off of one list and puts me at the bottom of another. If someone were to keep doing this about every month, then they pretty much have maliciously prevented me from ever getting listed in DMOZ. Is there any safeguard against that?

I'm not sure what happened here. I tried to delete a post and ended up deleting the whole thread instead. What I wrote was: I'm afraid the points mentioned here are too clearly directed at a specific and identifiable editor. Even though that editor isn't named in the post, I'm going to have to delete it. For allegations that are this specific, please report them via http://report-abuse.dmoz.org/ . I'm not complaining about the fact of your report, and I haven't looked into it yet to verify its validity. I'm just saying it shouldn't be made publicly.

Goodmorning Re: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/London/Travel_and_Tourism/Travel_Services/Tour_Operators/ This category used to be really out-of-date, key words used to be repeated throughout the titles and descriptions. It was partially updated about a week ago but it appears that two or 3 sites have slipped through: i)Beatles London Walking Tour- this repeats the word "london" in the description. ii) Black Cab Tours of London- repeats the word "london" in the description. iii)Black Taxi Tours of London - repeats "london" two more times in description. iv)London Taxi Tour - repeats "London" four times in description. v)London Walking T…

I don't know if this is abuse because I am not an expert on the guidelines, so is it allowed for a website to be listed under one category, but individual pages from the site listed in several other categories?

Is it possible to talk to a live person at dmoz? Here's my problem. I have been listed under web templates for about 4 years. Last Nov-Dec I noticed my listed was deleted. I contacted the editor ([snip]) and they told me to not bother to list my website because it was "an affiliate site". I know that this person did not look at my site because I have 1050+ of my own web templates for sale. I do have template monster templates on my site. Still, my content is unique and is one of the larger web template sites. I feel this was editor abuse because while my site was deleted the following sites remained: http://www.buydezign.com/ - no templates, forwards to another …

Hello, It looks like a company is spamming things up with two listings in the same category. Check out - Sports: Golf: Tournaments and Events: Tournament Companies Golf Marketing Incorporated (Looks like the original) http://holeinone.bizland.com/ Golf Marketing & Insurance (Looks like the new one) http://www.hole-in-won.com/ The phone number from holeinone.bizland.com (800-997-3869) matches identically with the number from http://www.hole-in-won.com/welcome.htm Thanks Editors! All of you guys are the best!!!

Hello! I was looking through a relatively small section of the gambling category and discovered that the top listed site and the majority of others were simply affiliate marketing sites. I double checked the ODP guidelines and it says that if you ignore the affiliate marketing and there is still unique and non-copied useful content, then it should be included. The majority of these sites are made up entirely of affiliate marketing with little to no content, let alone unique content, and the category actually has an editor. Maybe he hasn't cleaned up the category because he hasn't gotten around to it, but I'm trying to figure out why these sites are in the ODP in the firs…

One of my competitors is listed under two categories for the exact same URL. I havent submitted my site yet, but it too would actually seem to be perfectly and very relevant under both of these categories, as is my competitor. My question is: is my competitor doing something illegal, in which case should i report him (if so, can i do that in this post--?), OR, is this multiple listing sometimes acceptable and can i also submit my site under these two categories? Thank you.

In This Category the site http://www.flash-design-marketing.com (title is flash-design-marketing.com) is a templatemonster.com affiliate. Not sure there is other content that might be considered unique (I didn't examine it fully). The content may have changed since the site was listed. I don't have editing privileges there or I'd take care of it myself.

Hi there! I know that google has nothing directly to do with dmoz and that they only use dmoz data for their directory..... But this is rather a general question about abuse when it comes to search engines and websites. I am really angry when I use google for instance and notice that the first 5 pages are always websites of link farms. I think there is nothing anyone can do about it if they are not within the DMOZ directory, is there? Those pages are not included in the directory but always appear first on searches: For example those link farms, that just want to promote affiliate programmes: [As you said, there's nothing ODP editors can do about it…
