DMOZ submission
-
Has anyone had any experience submitting to DMOZ and waiting times.
The category i've submitted to has only a few links (http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/London/Westminster/Arts_and_Entertainment/)
Yet I submitted the site (www.capitalalist.com) over a month ago!
Can anyone give examples of waiting times, or a way to perhaps get some feedback from DMOZ?
Thanks in advance as always...

I hate to say it, but I'm with Marty. There's just no way to tell, and it's completely dependent on the editor(s) for your niche. Recently, I'm seeing many cases where people get a DMOZ listing and it's so deep in the site that the page isn't even indexed - so they wait months for this "great" link that then passes no link-juice at all. File a good submission and get on with life - that's all you can do, unless you know an editor personally.

From my experience you're looking at an average of 6 months of a wait time. There are some good articles from Dmoz editors on the web on why they decline sites. From what I've read the value of dmoz.org url's is slowly diminishing. The biggest issue is that it also feeds many other search sites.
Hopefully in the future, Google, Yahoo/Bing, Baidu will all but ignore Dmoz.org and sites feeding off it. There are so many reasons why I think this but I don't want to go off topic on you.
Good Luck

Hard to tell...i had i ite that got excepted in a month and other sites took me more then 6 months .. Feedback they dont give you just have to wait..

I've submitted 3 sites over the last 18 months, and all 3 were accepted within 6-12 months.

I've tried submitting various pages, some even authority news sites that have existed for decades (in print, at least...). Nothing has ever been accepted by DMOZ. I'm referring to German DMOZ, but I hear this exactly from every country.
Anybody around that has managed to get a DMOZ entry in the past couple of years?

DMOZ wait times are typically measured in months and/or years, if you ever hear anything. Don't stress about it; move on and cross your fingers!

How can I get my wesbite on Dmoz if it isn't accepting? Am I S.O.L.?
Each of the categories I would certainly fall under aren't accepting sites at this time because of it isn't showing the icon you need next to it to submit a website. I have been checking this for months, but it isn't changing. Is there another way in or am I just out of luck here? See step 3: http://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/add.html

Similar sites like dmoz.org?
Hi. I've added my site to dmoz.org 3-4 months ago or something. Still not accepted (surprise..) Anyway, i was wondering if there is any other sites like dmoz.org i can add my site to? (Free sites, not interested in the countless "pay for express listing"-sites).

Our website has seen a steady decline in rankings over the past few months, is there any merit to paid bulk directory submission? Or could it potentially harm our campaign.
Our website has been experiencing a slow but steady decline in rankings despite our activity on social media platforms, is there any value in paying a large sum for bulk directory submission? Or will this only result in our overall website authority decreasing further due to unnatural links. Would really appreciate any help.

Article Submission Best Practices
We are starting an article submission project for our company and had a very basic question. Will submitting the same article to different sites create any potential issues? If the article gets published on various sites, will this be considered duplicate content?
