Dmoz

[jhegarty]

Hello,

How long does it normally take to hear on a submission to dmoz open directory ?

I submitted about 3 weeks ago and not a sausage.

mixed results on this ... I think it was 2 weeks the last time for one of my sites I think it was nearly a year on another rather messed up.

Depends on the category ... depends on how active it is.

 

[jhegarty]

thanks,

Do you hear back if you are rejected ?

 

[Forbairt]

I never have ... I don't think you do ..

you don't hear if you're accepted / rejected

In my opinion is good to get a link back from DMOZ but it seems that it's all b****xed-up

 

[mneylon]

Isn't someone on here an editor?

 

[louie]

I think there are few, but if they are not part of the category you are submitting to, no use 4 us.

CRY TO DMOZ EDITORS! - Hi, if there are any DMOZ editors out there for Region: Ireland then please have a look at our legitimate sites! In my sig. Waiting over two months now... Thanks

in my world anything is worth a shot

in my world anything is worth a shot

Apply to become an editor then

There are rumours that BOTW is bidding for DMOZ and google has recently removed their recommendation to be in DMOZ / Yahoo!. So I wouldn't worry about it as much, it's still worth submitting obviously....

I had to submit my site six times before it was approved. It made on difference that it was #1 ranked!

The DMOZ submission says that it can take YEARS to get listed. There are lots of roumers about problems at the site with editors locked out.

Update: I have arrived on dmoz

 

[celticlimos]

i submitted my to dmoz over 2 years ago and nothing

Not worth bothering with anymore IMO. Ridiculous waiting times, competitiors working as editors in your section. It's a dinosaur at this stage

I agree. It's providing 0.03% of my traffic !!!

I dont think people want to be listed in DMOZ because of the traffic it provides but because of the relationship between Google and DMOZ - it's been long regarded as very important in SEO

 

[leapfrog]

I"ve submitted 4 times. still it is not approved.

 

[how-to-fiend]

I submitted my first site there many years ago. It took probably 6 months before I noticed it was accepted. I hardly ever get traffic from there. I'm positive it helped back in the day....

I believe I submitted my site over a year ago, and haven't heard a squeak so far. And yet I've submitted client sites since then which have been listed. So it seems to be a bit of a lottery.
Keep in mind that Google have devalued the links from there and from Yahoo directory, so it's not as essential as it used to be.
