DMOZ listing - GoFuckYourself.com

How do you get a DMOZ listing these days, or does it matter.

baddog · 10-22-2005, 07:42 AM

you start off by submitting your site to them, in the most appropriate sub category.

and yes, if you can get listed there it is a very good thing

benthompson · 10-22-2005, 07:50 AM

There are too many good search engines using DMOZ so yes if you get listed there you will get listed on hundreds of directories and SE's

lakroze · 10-22-2005, 07:57 AM

and it really increases your PR -
first u are in dmoz which is very good dor the importance of the site for google
second - u r in the google groups (which are reorganised dmoz) which for second time oncreases your pr and importance...

and... if u are in dmoz in most cases your PR will be minimum 5 and u will get a lot of free targeted seo traffic...

BUT it is really hard to get there if u dont know any moderator there...
AND u have to wait a lot of time to get listed after u submit your site

luck!

Best way I find if it's adult that is, is too use the advanced search on DMOZ, type the category name that best fits your site then hit submit, u can usually get your category from there!

Or simply go to google and type your primary keyword and browse through the listings, 9/10 it'll come up there!

Best way to get listed is to become an editor.. most catagories haven't been updates in months and months.

Splum · 10-22-2005, 08:34 AM

Yeah I submitted my site in March of this year and still no reply or no listing. Doesnt look good does it.

I wish this was true but it does give a small PR boost and almost zero traffic.

I totally agree with this!

I know a guy that was a moderator for DMOZ a few years back and he told me this also.

darksoul · 10-22-2005, 08:52 AM

wasn't dmoz a dead project ?

Which category? They don't have to send you a reply nor are they obliged to list you - some will give a courtesy email if you're missing a minimal point to get listed. Most often, people just submit the same site in different categories *regardless if it fits or follows rules* in hopes the editors don't notice it.

Oh and I hear it all the time - they only list their own sites and their friends. My 'friends' - get a full explanation of why they didn't get listed in the category I edit. My own sites? One out of 4 are listed in the category & that's because another editor had approved it prior to me becoming an editor.

adultchica · 10-22-2005, 08:55 AM

The allure of a DMOZ listing is not what it once was...too much corruptions on the part of the editors and the traffic really is a mute point.

adultchica · 10-22-2005, 08:56 AM

Also..I really think Yahoo Directory is better than DMOZ now. I get lots more traffic from it than I do any of my DMOZ listings.

Kevsh · 10-22-2005, 10:45 AM

DMOZ is all but useless now. It's completely irrelevant, corrupted and like many have pointed out - the traffic is so little, it's barely worth the effort to get listed.

Wow think its worth it? I suppose thats right on the borderline ehh?

ACK from the Yahoo submission form....

For sites that include adult content or services, the nonrefundable initial fee is US$600 and the recurring annual fee is US$600. The higher cost for sites with adult content reflects the fact that Yahoo! directory team uses a more complex and time-intensive review process for sites offering adult content and/or services.

It's $600 for adult submissions.

adultchica · 10-22-2005, 01:12 PM

yes it's 600$ and worth every penny...at least in my experiences.
