Just for the record

How can I change my site's description or title in the Google Directory?

If a site has been accepted for inclusion in the directory but you are dissatisfied with how the site is described or titled, you may go to the category where it is listed in Netscape Open Directory Project and fill out the "update URL" form. If you are dissatisfied with the category in which your site is listed, you may send an e-mail to an Open Directory editor for the category explaining your disagreement. Once it is updated there, your listing in Google will be updated.

How can I submit a web page to the Google Directory?

The web pages in the Google directory have been selected by thousands of volunteer editors from the Netscape Open Directory Project. If you would like to submit a web page to be included in future versions of the directory, you may submit the web page directly to the Open Directory by following the instructions here.

Add Your Site to AOL Search:
AOL Search is a hierarchical Web directory, organized by subject. All our user-submitted Web content is maintained by the Open Directory Project (http://www.dmoz.org). The Open Directory Project is run by a staff of volunteer editors who choose to evaluate and classify Web sites in one or more categories. The editor exercises the option of choosing to add a site, moving sites between categories and creating new sites.
To get your site listed:
1. Find the most appropriate category or subcategory within the AOL Directory.
2. From that category page, submit your site information from the Submit a Site link in the green Open Directory Project box at the bottom of the page.

In this way, you are determining where your site fits best, and then sending it to the correct place.

The Open Directory volunteers are quite passionate about their work, and your site will be evaluated quickly.

Please note that if your site is accepted, it will also appear on other sites that use the Open Directory, such as Netscape, Lycos and Hotbot, as well as within AOL Search.

Also note that you cannot add or update URLs on top level categories. You need to find a specific subcategory to suggest your site. Also note you cannot submit from a Search page. You must click into a particular category or subcategory to suggest or update a site.

Updating URLs:
If your site is currently listed in the AOL Directory and you wish to update it, please do the following:
1. Find the appropriate category where your site is filed within AOL Search
2. Click "Update URL"
3. Enter your site's URL
4. Use the form to modify the information

Your changes will be submitted to a volunteer editor for review.

Becoming an Editor:
You can join the tens of thousands of volunteers who maintain the Open Directory Project. The application takes a few short minutes, and your work will be visible on the AOL Search, Netscape Search, Lycos, Hotbot and other sites that use the Open Directory. Help make the Web a better, more organized place, and remember: HUMANS do it better.
