DMOZ Directory
-
Have not hear much good about DMOZ lately. Is this listing worth anything?
-
Thats a good idea, in that way we can remove competitor out as well and also notify DMOZ editors as well. But, according to me, they get a notification when the site is dead and there are some hosting or domain issues with the site
-
thanks. looks like this category has no dedicated editor. perhaps why there have been no new additions
-
In categories that have a dedicated editor, their name and link to their profile is usually shown where it currently says "volunteer to edit this category".
-
where does on look to find out how to contact the editor for the section in question? The section of dmoz is dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/Canada/British_Columbia/Localities/C/Courtenay/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/ but I do not see any link to contact the editor.
-
Yes, it's still worth it. Got listed a month ago. In addition to the listing, I've now got links from 50+ other sites that scrape dmoz. I'm sure those 50 don't do much, but I did get a noticeable bump.
I submitted it and then 5 days later I contacted the editor and let him know that two sites that were listed in the category were now dead. He removed them and added mine.
-
I have had the same experiences. First time submitted and waited a year and nothing. Re-submitted and after another 6 months nothing. I had heard the link one gets (assuming one gets one) has been devalued
-
Yes.... and good luck getting on it.
I've been waiting near 6 months for three submissions to be added (all different categories as well).
-
If you can get on it its worth it.....I think all the admins died and went to hell nobody will update my listing with the correct business name FML

Question about a specific directory
Awhile back I listed our website here: http://directory.r-tt.com/ I spotted one of our competitors there and I went ahead and listed our site. Now it seems that we are listed on 37 pages on the site. The titles that you can use for links to your site are very SEO friendly. Should I remove my site from this directory? We've experienced a recent drop in traffic from Google and I'm trying to pin point the source.

Has anyone done any real research about paid directories?
Hi Guys Im doing a little link building and in the industry Im working in there are quite a few directories....most offer free inclusion as long as you link back to them. This process can be slow due to the number of people trying to get listed. Also most offer a "express service" whereby you can get your site reviewed and uploaded faster if you pay a nominal fee circa £15. I'm not refering to any old directories these are directories which are industry specific and related to my site, however they are not confined to the country I am in (UK) but extend world wide So that got me thinking has anyone actually done any conclusive research which suggests that either A) you will not get any benefit from being included in such a directory or B) that you get penalised if you do so or C) none of the above and there is some benefit. I have been using open site explore and I can see these sites are giving link juice to my competition (as far as I can tell ofcourse) I found a site with almost all of its back links from these types of directories ranking on the first page for a very competitive term (67% using Keyword Difficulty tool) Would be interested to hear your thoughts / experiences

Link Directory
I am not an SEO expert by any means, just trying to improve the ranking of my own personal real estate site. Are directory links good for backlinks, or are they a waster of time?
