DMOZ Directory

Have not hear much good about DMOZ lately. Is this listing worth anything?

[usef4u]

Thats a good idea, in that way we can remove competitor out as well and also notify DMOZ editors as well. But, according to me, they get a notification when the site is dead and there are some hosting or domain issues with the site

[casper434]

thanks. looks like this category has no dedicated editor. perhaps why there have been no new additions

[Klarke]

In categories that have a dedicated editor, their name and link to their profile is usually shown where it currently says "volunteer to edit this category".

where does on look to find out how to contact the editor for the section in question? The section of dmoz is dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/Canada/British_Columbia/Localities/C/Courtenay/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/   but I do not see any link to contact the editor.

Yes, it's still worth it.  Got listed a month ago.  In addition to the listing, I've now got links from 50+ other sites that scrape dmoz.  I'm sure those 50 don't do much, but I did get a noticeable bump.

I submitted it and then 5 days later I contacted the editor and let him know that two sites that were listed in the category were now dead.  He removed them and added mine.

I have had the same experiences. First time submitted and waited a year and nothing. Re-submitted and after another 6 months nothing. I had heard the link one gets (assuming one gets one) has been devalued

[Unity]

Yes.... and good luck getting on it.

I've been waiting near 6 months for three submissions to be added (all different categories as well).

If you can get on it its worth it.....I think all the admins died and went to hell nobody will update my listing with the correct business name FML
