I have read your faq. recommendation and although one should be thankful for the time the volunteers are putting in for including submissions it looks quite bleak for any chance of it happening anytime soon.

Thanks once again for your reply and I hope one day I will be listed.

We really can't predict the future.

But you are certainly wise not to depend on an ODP listing for your site promotion -- that's not what we're here for, and we don't really do it except by accident.

I have been submitting here for over year to no avail. I wonder if they will ever get to me. My business is dependant on being listed on this site. help please.

"Submit once" is in the instructions that you read and agreed to when you suggested the site, and everytime thereafter....


If you are dependant on the ODP for success, then you have already failed. The ODP only lists sites that are already sucessful* in some way. What use would it be for me to list your site today, only for your business to fold next month, and I then have to go back and remove that "vital" lisitng?

* successful in being the only site with that information, successful in being a forum that has a lot of content and continues to grow, successful in being an offline business that has expanded to have an online presence of some sort, successful in being the authority on the subject, successful in promoting itself in so many other ways that ODP editors stumble across it long before the owner realises that the ODP exists as a place they could suggest the site, successful in a multitude of different ways...

How is it dependent on DMOZ/ODP listing? I don't understand that claim ... or such a dependency.

In a real business, one of the expenses is advertising. If a someone can't figure out how to pay for adequate advertising and also buy supplies and hire people to do the work they propose to do, then it's not a business; it's a scam.

As the owner of an online business, I can tell you - honestly - the last place I worry about (or EVER worried about) when wanting to advertise my business is DMOZ.

I send out electronic newsletters and 'paper' flyers; I pay very close attention to what the search engines ask for and use every tool they make available to me; I have blogs and 'spaces' all over the Internet.

If anyone has a business model that is dependent on a listing in a directory - any directory - it's time to return to the drawing board. They were doomed before they started.

Just my
