Dmoz need help

Hello I need help with Dmoz inscription. I have been following 100% the regulation from this directory. Using not promotional language, not repeating the title in the description. Posting in the right area.
but nothing after a couple of months.
any thoughts?

Hi Davinia,
I will tell you a case of mine, so you know what I have been thinking about when I said other things. The category that I manage has two editors. We had a new submitting and the other editor picked it up, but wrote a note next to the website... then, although I found the website good and DMOZ ready (as per guidelines) I had to wait and see what the other editor have seen, why he didn't approve.
Now if you are waiting for months then it could be:
- the editor is slow
- the category doesn't have an editor (why don't you apply to be an editor there?)
- the editor found something that is not 100% as per guidelines
If someone is resubmitting all the time I usually double and triple check the website before approval. Although I am an online marketer, I am also a DMOZ editor and you need to know the DMOZ is not set up for SEO purposes only.
I hope that helped and good luck with your website.
Greetings,
Istvan

Hi Instvan,
What other things can it depend on?
Provided that we submit with all of the correct information (as per guidelines) and there is an editor on the category what else can make the approval take longer?
Much thanks,
Davinia -
as an editor... I look at the category I manage and believe me. sometimes depends on something else.
Greetings,

one of those factors being if an editor is even looking at your category. just keep resubmitting and don't worry too much about it.

Hey,
It depends on lots of factors. Just be patient
Greetings,
Istvan

DA without PA, Does it help?
My site has been getting great conversions for over a year, My lead count has been increasing monthly. But since january my traffic started decreasing then at the end of march the traffic dropped in half. I think it was called Update Fred. Yet i have only lost rankings for a few keywords.That i can see. I went from 30-40 leads per day down to 10 per day. The few keywords which dropped are most likely the guilty keywords i use to get my traffic from . At this point I started studying my backlinks to see how they are looking. I noticed alot of High DA links which mostly have PA-1.. My question is ...Will DA alone give me the link juice i need to gain top positions?

I need help: Website has dropped and I dont know how to bring it back
Hi All, So my website has dropped now to page 12, I have no idea why, I've tried myself to bring it back and I have also tried a few £1000 at outsourcing the SEO which has had no affect. There are no penalties in webmaster tools but I personally think something the algo doesn't like is holding it back - I could be wrong. I think this because some of the results higher than me are a lot worse, hold little to no content and there backlink profiles have no links, some are even 1 page new domains that have been live for as little as a month ranking a lot higher than me. At one point I was ranking page1, position4 for the term 'bank holidays' and now I don't rank anywhere. What's weird is if you search 'bankholidays' as one word I appear in that position. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? Problem page: followuk.co.uk/bank-holidays - GoogleUK search. I need some help please.

Help! Does SEOMOZ Work?
New to SeoMoz and im struggling!! I have been trying to study SeoMoz and how to use all these tools but I am totally at a loss where to start with it. I think i am OK with on page work but the link building and how to get better ranking i find really difficult. After all we all need results in our jobs or why would we bother with it. Does any one have any tips with the linking tools and how to see some results for me to keep SEOMOZ on. I really think a good video on practical steps on link building would help. All this talk about do something practical!! What practical things build the best links?

Local SEO Help
Getting confused about what is helpful. I have a few questions. Is it beneficial to link to other sites like wikipedia from our main url or our wp hosted blog? Does that help our SERP? We have just built a new sitemap for our site, which is good, we didn't have one before. Should I still do internal linking? 3)If I can get a person with another blog to link to us, would it better to get it in a post or on their main page with a button or text listing? Thanks everyone:) I am just trying to figure out how to spend my time wisely here.

Linkbuilding help discussion
I've seen a couple of questions about outsourcing linkbuilding. The general tone is that it is a very dangerous practice to select any service or to hire someone without a very thorough vetting of their past projects. This makes sense to me. But my businesses don't have the resources to hire an employee or an established seo firm. I am developing a sound linkbuilding practice from what I learn here at seomoz. The trouble is I just don't have the time to do it to the scale necessary. I can afford to hire an assistant/contractor for $15/hr or less. Would it be a good idea to hire someone from elance or odesk and work very closely with them to make sure they build quality links? Do you think this is better than hiring someone who says they can get me to google #1 for a specific keyword for $100 or so? Does seomoz or anyone else have any recommendations on where to go to find quality help? Thanks
