I've had a site up since 2002. I rank high in Google (#1) and Yahoo as well as many of the directories and metacrawlers. But I have never been able to get on dmoz. I submit about once every 6 months, but no luck yet. I would love to know if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks
Can't get listed

For starters spamming the directory comes to mind. When you suggest a url you acknowledge having read the Submission Instructions where it reads:mcrissman said:
(emphasis added by me)
Please stop. Submitting a site every six month is spamming and it is also causing unnecessary editor work (removing duplicates) and if continued will result in a permanent banning of the site as a spammer. Beyond that there is nothing you need to do. You have helped us (more than enough) by suggesting the site. It is in the hands of volunteer editors to take an interest and perform a review. There is no way to predict when an editor will perform a review. All you can do is continue to build and maintain your site and follow through on your other (non-ODP related) promotional strategies.
Regards.

Yes you are.
Read the DMOZ guidelines
Also read the FAQ here at RZ. Most importantly How long should I wait before I resubmit?
And also read the thread called Discontinuation of site status checks

But if you have suggested the site each time to the same category the only thing that might have happened is that you have made your "waiting" time longer.

shadow575 said:"SEO Expert" isn't that an oxymoron?
Maybe not, one definition I've heard for an expert was "a person who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing".
That has a decided Zen feel to it but ...

The guidelines are good
Follow the guidelines and let the editors decide.
The editors are really good. If your site has lots of information you could be added.
"Remember just submit and forget." Spamming DMOZ is not fair to the editors.

If you rank highly, why is a dmoz listing so important? I mean ... you got there without it ... you really need it?

And as for "experts" ... I recall something my grandfather used to say.
"Yesterday I couldn't even spell "expert", and now I are one! "
(You may insert whatever career, talent, etc you like. )

For what reason? I have already been part of that once relevant thread that has now been hijacked and sidetracked so far from the original posters concerns that it is no longer worth following (for its original purpose).critic009 said:
Are you implying that my response to the original post in this thread is some how in a bad attitude or was it the fact that I disagree that SEO and Expert should ever be used together?
The original post wasn't intended to be negative. It explained a serious mis-conception of the ODP and it would appear from the response it may have even helped the original poster better understand directory policies.
I certainly don't read into their response that they took offense to my reply, they seem to now 'get it' and know what was done wrong. And for the record "Seo Expert" is still an oxymoron.
