Hi All,

How do I get listed in DMOZ?

I have submitted 2 times, but no luck..  Is there another way besides the site?  I have not even received a reply from them.

Submitting more than once also hurt your chances of getting a review. It would have just overwritten your previous submission with the new date and moved your site back down the queue!!!

After you have submitted ONCE, there is nothing more you can do, so move on.

Getting listed in DMOZ is difficult. You have to ensure that you have a high quality site with all errors atteneded to and the site fully functional before you submit.

Generally you only get one decent shot at getting listed.

The time for inclusion into the directory can be quite long.

First, check that your category has a moderator.

Second, try and chose a more specific or locally targeted category that has a different moderator to the category you submitted to.

Thirdly, you could become a moderator of an un-moderated category that is relevant to your field.

A fourth option is to try and contact the moderator (some times they can be located) and ask for a reconsideration. I would cite some new and useful information and your comittment to producing a quality site within your niche.

You need to ensure a top quality site and an ethical and honest approach towards the moderator of the category.
