DMOZ listing
-
Hello,
My website is not listed in DMOZ. Is DMOZ important? And how to submit website to DMOZ directory?
Thank you!

403 Forbidden is coming now for DMOZ.org.
I am not sure if we need to list our website in DMOZ, my company website https://www.sellbuystuffs.com seems to be not listed there, and not sure how to add the listing.

Hi John and others. It's been over a year John, did you get listed yet? As noted above, some categories may not have editors who are active, and some editors reject listings for any reason, accepting only the best, most important, and most relevant ones. Some categories are almost impossible, even if your site is relevant and has quality content.
Were you successful in getting a DMOZ listing for your site?
-
Thank you my friends! I have just added my site to DMOZ directory and I am waiting.
-
That's why I'm probably not getting listed then! Haha
-
It's also worth bearing in mind that if you submit your site to DMOZ some categories no longer have volunteers dealing with applications, so your submission may sit in the queue for the next several years going nowhere. So even if it is important, it's not necessarily achievable
So submit and then instantly forget about it and stop caring.

At this point in the game it's really not going to make much difference at all. It's one link that was at one time, thought to be critical. Now, not so much.

There has been a lot of questions on DMOZ already. Just type "DMOZ" in search bar :p.
Just two examples :
-
Some SEO tools like Woorank consider it a mistake to be not listed in DMOZ.
-
If you look for expired domains at expireddomains.net, you can pick the option "listed in DMOZ" among other options like domain authority, page rank etc.
Important = yes. Essential = no. Don't be mad if you're not accepted.
To submit you site, use the search bar to find the most suitable category then "suggest URL".

Could a dropdown list of products dilute the page content?
Hi all, On our site, due to the fact we only have some 120 or so products split across 5 different categories we have a dropdown menu that displays all of the products in the menu. Forgetting usability for a moment, my question is whether by having links to all of products appear on each and every page (because they are in the main menu), are we diluting the content on the page. For example, if I take a particular product - the main phrase I want that page to be discovered for is "perspex sheet". This phrase does appear in the H1, H2 and within the main description of the product - but, as mentioned, each of our pages has some 120+ internal links due to the menu which contain all sorts of product names that arent relevant to "perspex sheet". The Moz report does flag a Medium issue on every page due to the number of internal links. I don't know whether I'm making a fuss about nothing, or whether this does have some serious side effects. It's an eCommerce site so of course im nervous of making changes that could have an adverse affect on our rankings. I thought there used to be a tool on Moz that showed what phrases a page was optimised for but i can no longer find that tool. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards,

What is the best way to show content in Listing Pages?
If it is e-commerce site and a product listing page there is always a conflict how to show the content? As per my understanding we can show content in two different ways. 1. To show little content and use **Read more. (**In this case there is a direct message to the google: Here is the content visible and rest content is hidden but available for visitors to read more 2. Can use** Scroll bar**. So here is the message to Google and visitors that my full content is available here. So just scroll down to read further. So I want to know that which method of showing content is best and it's impact of SEO where there is UI constraint or both the method is ok without any SEO impact. Please share your suggestions.

Google place listings and search results- quick question.
Has anybody else noticed that they are ranking better on 'places' yet they have dropped off in the actual search results? We've had no message through webmaster tools. The same seems to have happened to our competitors.

How do I get rid of rogue listings?
Unfortunately, Google has taken bits and pieces of my business and combined it with non-existent businesses and other rogue information. So now my business has 3 locations. One proper listing that I created and manage. One that uses my website address but nothing else is correct in the listing. One that contains my name(incorrectly), but the address and everything else about it is incorrect. I have reported these places many times but they continue to hang around and I am lost/confused on what to do next. Please advise.

How to re-claim Google Places listing?
I have 2 new clients whose Google Places pages were claimed & edited by other SEO companies. No info is available to me on the Google Accounts used to claim them. Both Places listings need significant edits. Is there a way to re-claim these listings with new Google Accounts, in order to edit/optimize them? Or, do I have to create new Places listings and then ask Google to delete the old ones? This situation must be occurring every day, it seems....
