Dmoz - No response
-
Hi,
I sent our website URL to http://www.dmoz.org/,
I followed all the rules, i even checked some competitors that are already listed in this directory project, to make sure i define good category for our website.
i did that long time ago and still i didn't get response and i don't see my website listed.
I also don't see any option to contact them.
Any advice?
Our website: www.artizone.comThank you

You can always apply to become an editor yourself. That way, you can add your link yourself.

SEOMoz has a list of directories you could try here: http://www.seomoz.org/directories
Good luck!

Welcome to the club!
I have been waiting for over a year to have my website (PR5) listed with DMOZ and with no success as yet. The Editors work at their own pace and will list your site if a) there is an Editor for your submitted category b) if they feel like it.
You just have to wait - word of warning though. If you re-submit your site, your original submission will be deleted and you will go to the bottom of the queue again. My advice is to forget about it and move on with your other SEO activities.

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

How important is dmoz?
I am just wondering. I don't know much about it. One of our competitor is ranking well and is the only one in our niche regitered with Dmoz. It has a clean back link profile, with all natural links, no exact anchor problems, but not that many links. Website is quite thin (ecommerce) but seems to be liked by google since the recent updates. Do we know if dmoz i one of the reason they rank well? If I needed to merge their site with mine, should I take it into consideration? Or is outdated and does not matter that much anymore? Both page rank is 2, my link profile is not as good.

How long before a new dmoz Will get picked up?
Hi all, I have a site which I've been trying to get into dmoz. It's taken approx 2 years and I went back recently to submit it and it was there. I hadn't submitted for a few months so can't be sure when it went in. Is there a way to get google to spider that category again so it gets picked up quicker? The site is www.nutritionmission.co.uk and wasnt showing up in my search explorer results yesterday. Thanks for your time Ian.

Dmoz.Org listings - how much more difficult can it be?
We have had a quality website for 12 years. We have good rankings and good PR. But for some reason, I have never been able to get listed on Dmoz.org - it's like they're not even reviewing it. It's not like I got a rejection letter or anything, just a no response and we just can't seem to get listed there. It's almost like the editors for our category are just not responsive or just not around. Or maybe they're a competitor and don't want us listed? Questions: 1. How important is it for an established site to get listed? I imagine that dmoz being an authority site, it would still be very helpful for rankings. 2. There are dmoz "submission services" - where they claim to list your site the proper way. They don't guarantee their service, since they obviously can't, and you have to pay either way. Does anyone recommend these services and anyone know of a particular one that is up & up? Any help on getting listed would be appreciated!

Making deep links to your page on BBB or DMOZ - Effective or waste of time?
Hi, Has anyone tried making links to a deep links to a page on an external site (like dmoz or the bbb) which has a link to your website? Of course, you might wonder "it depends on the type of link" you make to this larger site. Let's say it's a link (without no-follow) on a forum or blog comment - low-quality but on a decent site. Anyone think this may have some benefit to increase the chance / rate that your own link from another site will be indexed more and provide more benefit? A dmoz link is great, but it's on the backpages because it's a huge site, opensiteexplorer hardly indexes dmoz links. Regards,

Multiple Dmoz categories?
I'm looking at a competitor who outranks me and I see that some of their top links are several links from different dmoz categories. Is it common practice to get into several dmoz categories? I always thought you could just have your site in there once!
