Multiple Listings of an URL

E

Earth

On the DMOZ guidelines pages at:
http://dmoz.org/guidelines/site-specific.html, it states:
"Multiple Listings of an URL

Most sites will fit perfectly into one category. ODP categories are specialized enough so that in most cases you should not list a site more than once. If a site offers many different things, it should be listed in a more general category as opposed to listing it many specialized subcategories."

I have noticed some sites with 9 or more DMOZ listings - in one instance, the index page of a directory of one site appears twice in the same category - the only difference being the descriptions.

How does one report such unfair practice and exposure to the DMOZ? Is anything likely to be done about it to remove this sort of spamming if I report it?

Earth, we take stuff like that very seriously, yes.

So seriously, in fact, that there is a forum on this board dealing with precisely that issue. Take a look at the forum called "Abuse Reporting" and you will see a thread called "Hijacks and other content Changes".

In there you will see that issues are reviewed and rectified very quickly. Please post anything you find that may be suspect in there and it will get very quick attention.

Thanks.

There are cases where multiple listings from a site are allowed, although those are the exception. There are also cases where multiple listings have slipped in, and should be removed. You could post them in the forum Abuse Reporting
