I was looking for a accounting job today online today and think that a fair few results that came up in from dmoz - dont have any jobs on them! so I just wanted to know why they are listed in dmoz as the best for content, to be honest they just looked spammy. it's not an attack or to leave bad feedback but i was really annoyed at not being able to find work. job.co.nz - Contract and permanent finance jobs in New Zealand and the UK. Also includes immigration, emigration, and information links. .... but ther'es no jobs on there website, not eve…

Hi, I was wondering if someone could shed some light on my situation. My site has been list on Dmoz for over a couple of years and i have just notice that our listing has been removed? I would like to understand why this would happen? As the purpose of the site has not change only that we have made it more user friendly with better navigation and features. <URL deleted> It worries me to read in the quality control forum that sites are being remove in mass without being validated is this true? Regards, Matthew (very concerned)

After first submitting my site in 2007 and twice since then, I finally emailed the category editor who emailed me back saying he had asked to be listed on my site the day prior. He said he would look at my dmoz submission. After several follow-up emails he said that my site was now missing from his queue and that I should re-submit once again. After doing so, and exchanging more emails he said that he felt the site would be better in another category and had confirmed this with a senior editor and that the listing was already reviewed. After more email exchanges he said that it was a misunderstanding since there is no editor for that small category with only 2 listing…

Let me start by saying that a week or so ago I used to be an editor, and I am not anymore due to some ill informed senior editors which terminated my account. I have now noticed that quite a few relevant sites that I had submitted have all been removed completely from the DMOZ. I believe the editors that made the changes in question are a) making a broad based judgement that all sites I was associated with were affiliate sites (which is 100% wrong) b) made changes to site listings without proper review of the web sites or c) abusing their power and removing all sites which I have worked with for political/economic reasons. My goal by posting here is not to be rein…

Hey guys. I was recently refused an editor application (which is fine, especially as my category might have been a bit broad and not targeted enough). BUT... the person that shows as the category editor I know is no longer active in the community relevant to the niche. The last update to his own website was Jan 2005! I've submitted at least 3 websites on different occasions over the last few years and none have yet been added. I'd like to get some websites listed and don't really know where to start! Any help appreciated.

Hello editors, I tried unsuccessfully to become an editor for the hyperhidrosis section on DMOZ, but it proved futile and I have essentially given up barring some suitable link/description/title combination I can submit with any confidence. Hopefully I am posting this message in the correct place and not screwing up like I did with my editor applications. FYI -- I already found two basic mistakes that were corrected so I am not just posting this lengthy message here because of the need for attention (see following thread last few messages) -- http://www.resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=53072 The reason I am posting here is because I have another c…

hey I'm a somali music fan and have recently discovered some irregularities. If you search Somali music on google, it comes out with a list of sites. The first one there is www.markacadey.net/music.htm But the guy has this as his header; Bclub19.com:: Somali.com Download Somali music Download Somali ... Basically what is happening is this, a site called sclub19.com was the number one on google for the search term, but the guy above has been very inventive when it comes to black hat SEO. That's why his header refers to his new site bclub19.com, basically his trying to out do the other site. But he goes further than that. On the same google search term, …

Can somebody help me? I was suggested a website two or tree times. In fact the website is not listed. These days I have understanding that this is against the rules. Is there any option for clearing double or triple suggesting stats and to suggest again? The faults are human feature. Maybe some option like “Request reconsideration” (from Google Webmaster Tools) will be very good feature. Thanks in advance, Nikolay

Good morning. I have been identifying and posting Dead Links in the respective Quality Control Forum and have come across some listings that are redirects. My questions is: Should I just post the "Dead Links" I find, or would it also be helpful for me to post the "redirects" as well? Thanks.

Category: Business: Chemicals: Polymers: Processing Methods: Composite Plastic Listed URL: <url removed> Correct URL: <url removed> Listed title: Glas Forms Inc. Quality control issue: Two "Update Listing" requests have been submitted, with approximately 6-8 weeks between requests, to update the URL to the correct address. The old address currently forwards via a 301 redirect to the current address but the directory has not been updated to reflect the current URL. This could have been posted this under the "Report hijacks, dead links, etc" sticky but I am concerned that this case may represent a broader Quality Control issue. Note: The updat…

While going through the guidelines for other reasons, I came across: (emphasis mine) Given that this is completely contrary to the advice given here, and given that editors are generally advised to ignore all incoming e-mail, don't you think that a guidelines revision is in order?

Hello ODP community. Lilly here. I'm a newbie. :-) My apologies if I'm not properly detailing a dead URL/website in this post. If there is a proper way please let me know as I'd like to help out.

I have been trying to get my sites listed on dmoz for over 1 year but it seems useless despite the fact that my sites have totally over 150,000 UIP per day (one has more than 100,000 UIPs and another one has over 50,000 UIP again) and they are regarded as best of their class in my country! Now I discovered that the editor on the category I want my sites listed is my competitor and he only added his sites and his friends' sites onto DMOZ. How can I address this? My sites are of far higher quality than his but always rejected by him. Sadly. It's all about quality control of DMOZ.org. Thanks in advance.

Frankly, we have had inconsistent volunteer assistance rendering <url removed> less than it should be; we are winding it down. As a DMOZ quality issue, this should be delisted. Thanks.

Hi there, I was wondering how businesses that are legitimate ecommerce sites get listed on this Shopping section of dmoz? It just seems a little odd that only 9 businesses in the world currently make the grade. My concern is that given the nature of commerce, there are potential additional URL's to this section which might not be given the opportunity to be listed. I am not suggesting impropriety by editor(s) but think maybe the workload of the current editor(s) might be high. Regardless, the shopping section of DMOZ is a great idea but would like to see more listings. Cheers, yojiki

I'm having real trouble with (no) responses from the editors at dmoz. One of the websites that I manage (a large news-portal) has a very old and incorrect description. I've sent a request for update a few months ago, but there isn't any editor listed for the category in question (Icelandic media/ news portals) and the description hasn't been updated. Now my application for an editor position has not been answered for a few weeks, previous application for editor did not get processed due to a technicality (I didn't list the sites I manage into the correct form field). I'm afraid to re-enter any applications for editor or a revised description of this site, as that…
