Maximum entries per domain?

[whats_up_skip]

I have noticed that a site similar has 17 entries in the DMOZ. Some seem to be in categories that overlap. Is this spamming or normal listings?

Some sites have 100's of listings

Depends. In most cases, the entries have been listed by different editors, which kind of makes it obviouis that it's okay. The reasons include the following, and probably a few I don't remember right now. Some of them are also mentioned on the Site Specific Guidelines page.

 

a) Multilingual sites

b) Sites with a wealth of deeplinkable content (like wikipedia)

c) sites which cover multiple, totally different topics

d) sites listed in [several] areas with very little available sites

e) sites listed in areas, where we do have a policy of deeplinking. Like films, actors, and stuff.

f) hosting domains like geocities.com

g) sites duallisted in a topical and a regional section of the directory

 

If you should find a site with very low content and lots of listings, feel free to file a report with the details. [Note: "Lots" is not "two" or "three".]

 

 

Some sites have 100's of listings

Actually, sites like Wikipedia have more than 10k listings. Due to lots of editors deciding that the site is one of the largest free collections of wisdom, not due to some kind of abuse. So please emember that in most cases, multiple listings are not abuse.

I noticed the same thing for sites that do not fall under the criteria listed above.

 

Example: directv dot com.

 

Yes. I did notice they have a spanish language version of the site but there are someting like 50 links going to the same exact place. Im jealous

[motsa]

directv.com doesn't have 50 listings. They have six, including the two Spanish ones. Now, if you've found a number of directv.com affiliate sites that are listed, feel free to report them in the thread stickied at the top of this forum.

If I were going to indulge in a fit of jealousy, I'd be jealous of directv's _valuable_ property, like those dozen hundred-million-dollar communications satellites, or their access to content, like those hundreds of TV channels. But each to his own.
