DMOZ...bunch of lazy editors? - GoFuckYourself.com

Shaze · 03-07-2004, 02:13 AM

What's the best way to get into their directory. I've been submitting for over a year and still not listed. I submitted once every week. I'm thinking they are just lazy and sometimes I dream that their backlog of approving sites is a few hundred pages long. Any tips or suggestions? thanks in advance.

most dmoz editors are there to list their sites... and only approve other sites when they need to.

I tried to clear most of my queue every week tho, when I was there.

How much traffic are you going to get from a DMOZ listing?

Shaze · 03-07-2004, 02:27 AM

Becoming an editor to promote your own sites isn't allowed but I guess how would they find out right?...maybe I should apply. But if there is an editor that would take money to list my sites get in contact with me.

hmmm sounds like bribery to me ! donations on the other hand might be a better way to word it

Sexzity · 03-07-2004, 02:29 AM

What to write to be a editor, i know many times they say no, even that they are in need of editors.

FiReC · 03-07-2004, 02:30 AM

when you apply to be an editor just don't list your sites as suggestions of sites you'd submit...i did that and got denied....i know "i'm an idiot"...but i'll be trying again in a few months...hopefully they don't remember me

And that's the best way to have your editor privileges revoked

TurboTrucker · 03-07-2004, 03:05 AM

I have a suggestion. Only submit your site ONCE. Go here to check on the status of it but only bug them once a month at most.

Shaze · 03-07-2004, 03:26 AM

thanks for the info....i went to their message boards and it looks like there are tons of people that don't get their sites listed in over a year.

69pornlinks · 03-07-2004, 03:42 AM

Our old URL currently listed in DMOZ directory, synel-ind.com,, has been acquired by someone, who placed a disgusting pornographic site on it

SomeCreep · 03-07-2004, 03:48 AM

Dmoz are the most corrupt group of people on earth, even more so than the government. Dmoz needs to be wiped off the face of the earth.

My mainstream site took 5 months I guess that's not too bad for DMOZ, seems like a long ass time to me.
