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

How can I get my wesbite on Dmoz if it isn't accepting? Am I S.O.L.?
Each of the categories I would certainly fall under aren't accepting sites at this time because of it isn't showing the icon you need next to it to submit a website. I have been checking this for months, but it isn't changing. Is there another way in or am I just out of luck here? See step 3: http://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/add.html

Tons of Links from Low-Quality Image Directories?
Hi Mozzers, I've been receiving a ton of links from low-quality websites that look like image directories or search engines? They are displaying the images that are hosted on our own website. They all seem very similar. Has anyone experienced this and are these harmful? Should they be left alone or disavowed or..? Here are a few examples: http://myimagecollection.net http://pix-collection.com http://theimagess.org/ http://123coolpictures.com etc. Thanks in advance!

How important are directory submissions to my off-page SEO?
Hi Guys, One area of my link building that I carry out is looking for online directories and social bookmarking websites to submit my website to. I do this in order to gain some backlinks to my website. What I want to know is are they really worth my time, and if so, which types would you say are the most important? I have obviously been through many directory lists, both on SEOmoz and on other websites, and also performed various searches to find relevant directories to my website. I just feel that posting up a link that lies deep in a directory online that, more often than not, have very low PA and lots of outbound links will offer very little in terms of SEO. If anything, this could really bring down the quality of my links and be detrimental to my website, right? This is a subject that I have been thinking about for a while and especially with the recent algorithm update from Google and the attack on many web directories that are, lets say, 'not playing by the rules', I'm worried that this will have a negative impact for my website. Let me know your thoughts guys and if you have any tips on how to get higher quality links from these kind of submission then I'm all ears! Matt.

Can Low Quality Directories Hurt?
I realize that links from low quality directories aren't of much value. Having said that, can doing this kind of linking actually penalize a site?
