Lemme get this streight (SE Stuff)
 

K - so I've been out of the SE worlk for a few years and now I see a need to build up some fresh traffic for a new project... and I go to reading up on the subject.

This about right? :ak47:

1. You can't do Yahoo anymore - unless you want to pay them $600 to even fucking LOOK at the site.

2. Google, AOL, DirectHit, HitBot, Lycos, and Nutscrape still have submit areas - but you really have to be in DMOZ to get listed first because of link popularity - then they pick you up automatically making the manual submit areas pretty much useless.

5. DMOZ is seventeen months behind on average - so you can't get listed there, can't get listed on the aforementioned SE's and thus... can't get traffic.

4. Everyone's TOS hates people who use autosubmitters so you have to do it manually (not that that is a big deal - just kind-of a pain).

5. SE spammers get automatically listed/updated/toplisted magically in all SE's and the honest webmasters get put on result page 1,751 near the bottom.

That about right? Or am I missing something. Just want to know what I am getting in to before I waste my time...

Anyone have anything encouraging to say that will cheer me up and give me hope?

You need to know one word:

Google

The "trick" is to build real sites with real content. I still can't believe how many "webmasters" who bitch about search engines & directory inclusion can't grasp this rather primitive idea.

Damn...I tought it was a thread about Straight edge dumbass...
oh well

:glugglug

You don't need to be in DMOZ or in Yahoo to get listed in Google (but it helps), but the rest of what you said is somewhat true, especially the backlog at DMOZ.

Im selling two PR5 domains link them to the sites u need to feed and put targeted keywords on the pages and ur set

My last submission went through in 2 weeks. The "editor" for that category just happens to own the program I was pushing on the site. Surprise surprise, all of the dozen other sites in the category also happen to push his site.

DMOZ is 10 times the joke it was last year. Hope google drops it and starts their own.

There are 15 top US engines and a few top euro engines to hit. the ODP (DMOZ) can help you with rankings on other engines, but you can still achieve them without being listed there. Also, always hand submit. It's worth the 5 minute investment. If you don't want to optimize your site and go through all of this "hassle" then you can always go for pay-per-click and see results immediately. Stop complaining :1orglaugh

didn't ask for a "trick", gruffy - and all my sites are real and have real content

amph - were they adult related sites when they got their listing rank? Hit me on ICQ, 196766474

typical

thanks :)

Shit - nevermind my last post to you amph - I didn't even check your sig... sorry.
I will hit you up on ICQ

Yup, you pretty much have it exactly right.


I stopped wasting my time with DMOZ a long time ago. You find a category that fits your site, and chances are they don't have anyone looking after it (as in unmoderated). Don't bother trying to apply as a moderator, you'll never get a reply from anyone. Whomever is running the show there needs a bitchslap.

I know 2 US engines, what are the other 13 ??

Are they like the one in your sig?

I'll tell you right now all engines are tweaked enough now to basically exclude "traffic generation" sites or rank them into obscurity.

Hence the constant newbie cloaking and spamming from adult webmasters to get their garbage to the top of the ranks.

This in turns, leads to more strict algo's to punish more adult sites and the cycle continues.

You think DMOZ will lists these sites? good luck, hope you know the associated "editor" and crooked-as-fuck meta editor for the category.

The Scarab TGP? I forgot that thing was still in my sig... but I see your confusion now. My sites do NOT look like this.

That thing hasn't made me a penny from day one. No - I designed that POS about two years ago so I would have a TGP site to bounce reverse traffic off of. Haven't changed it since.
