DMOZ submission
-
Has anyone had any experience submitting to DMOZ and waiting times.
The category i've submitted to has only a few links (http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/London/Westminster/Arts_and_Entertainment/)
Yet I submitted the site (www.capitalalist.com) over a month ago!
Can anyone give examples of waiting times, or a way to perhaps get some feedback from DMOZ?
Thanks in advance as always...

I hate to say it, but I'm with Marty. There's just no way to tell, and it's completely dependent on the editor(s) for your niche. Recently, I'm seeing many cases where people get a DMOZ listing and it's so deep in the site that the page isn't even indexed - so they wait months for this "great" link that then passes no link-juice at all. File a good submission and get on with life - that's all you can do, unless you know an editor personally.

From my experience you're looking at an average of 6 months of a wait time. There are some good articles from Dmoz editors on the web on why they decline sites. From what I've read the value of dmoz.org url's is slowly diminishing. The biggest issue is that it also feeds many other search sites.
Hopefully in the future, Google, Yahoo/Bing, Baidu will all but ignore Dmoz.org and sites feeding off it. There are so many reasons why I think this but I don't want to go off topic on you.
Good Luck

Hard to tell...i had i ite that got excepted in a month and other sites took me more then 6 months .. Feedback they dont give you just have to wait..

I've submitted 3 sites over the last 18 months, and all 3 were accepted within 6-12 months.

I've tried submitting various pages, some even authority news sites that have existed for decades (in print, at least...). Nothing has ever been accepted by DMOZ. I'm referring to German DMOZ, but I hear this exactly from every country.
Anybody around that has managed to get a DMOZ entry in the past couple of years?

DMOZ wait times are typically measured in months and/or years, if you ever hear anything. Don't stress about it; move on and cross your fingers!

Article submissions for link building- what sites do you still use?
Hey Everyone, Long-time SEO'er first time poster here. I've been doing SEO for around 5 years but since starting my company The Search Ninjas last year I've been so bogged down with client work that I feel like I'm starting to fall behind on what's still effective from a link building perspective since all of my clients are local businesses and since we've been focusing so much attention on Google Places. My question is- are there any general article sites that you still use for SEO since the Panda update last year (that you firmly believe still offer "juice"), or do you mainly focus on niche sites and guest-blogging? I'm looking for ideas regarding how to find content submission opportunities for clients for link building purposes. I'm familiar with Ontolo and the Whitespark Link Prospecting Tool in terms of ways to find opportunities (and of course cherrypicking competitors' links using OSE and SEOSpyglass), any other recommendations? Best, George ps clients are in legal niche for the most part if that helps you out, but this is mainly me looking for everyone's general opinion.

Multiple submissions to article directories
Hello, I would like to ask if I can submit the same article to multiple article directories. I have read that while only the first published article will gain credit and show on search engines, but the all the links generated from the publishing the article at different sites will still tally up and count as separate backlinks to my website. Is this true, or is 1 or a few links going to be counted from the 1 article?
