Dmoz - No response
-
Hi,
I sent our website URL to http://www.dmoz.org/,
I followed all the rules, i even checked some competitors that are already listed in this directory project, to make sure i define good category for our website.
i did that long time ago and still i didn't get response and i don't see my website listed.
I also don't see any option to contact them.
Any advice?
Our website: www.artizone.comThank you

You can always apply to become an editor yourself. That way, you can add your link yourself.

SEOMoz has a list of directories you could try here: http://www.seomoz.org/directories
Good luck!

Welcome to the club!
I have been waiting for over a year to have my website (PR5) listed with DMOZ and with no success as yet. The Editors work at their own pace and will list your site if a) there is an Editor for your submitted category b) if they feel like it.
You just have to wait - word of warning though. If you re-submit your site, your original submission will be deleted and you will go to the bottom of the queue again. My advice is to forget about it and move on with your other SEO activities.

Response rate in a linkbuilding campaign
Good afternoon, We will be starting our linkbuilding campaign in the next couple of days. Initially we will contact the authors of editorial content where our competitors are mentioned as one tool in a list of tools. We want the author to add us to the list as an additional tool. What success rate shall we expect, in terms of the % of people who include us vs the number of people we contact? Thanks in advance!

How important is dmoz?
I am just wondering. I don't know much about it. One of our competitor is ranking well and is the only one in our niche regitered with Dmoz. It has a clean back link profile, with all natural links, no exact anchor problems, but not that many links. Website is quite thin (ecommerce) but seems to be liked by google since the recent updates. Do we know if dmoz i one of the reason they rank well? If I needed to merge their site with mine, should I take it into consideration? Or is outdated and does not matter that much anymore? Both page rank is 2, my link profile is not as good.

How long before a new dmoz Will get picked up?
Hi all, I have a site which I've been trying to get into dmoz. It's taken approx 2 years and I went back recently to submit it and it was there. I hadn't submitted for a few months so can't be sure when it went in. Is there a way to get google to spider that category again so it gets picked up quicker? The site is www.nutritionmission.co.uk and wasnt showing up in my search explorer results yesterday. Thanks for your time Ian.

How do directories that pull listings from DMOZ work?
I've listed an example below. I see these all the time, where a directory pulls it's listings from DMOZ. So you would naturally assume that if you're in DMOZ, you would get these links, but that's not the case. This particular link was picked up by OSE so I'm wondering what the quality of these links really are and if they're legit? Also, if you go to the main subdomain the page just says "Buy shirts". What is the deal with these types of so-called "directories"? http://www.searches.org/go/search/Shopping/Home_and_Garden/Furniture/ Another example: http://www.westcairn.com/furniture.htm

Help me understand the gap between DMOZ and the Google Directory?
I have seen other sites showing up in OSE with backlinks from both DMOZ and Google Directory. We are in DMOZ, and our backling is showing for that in OSE, but i don't understand how to get added to the Google directory? When i go to the appropriate category, and click "submit link" it just takes me back to DMOZ! Is there something i'm doing wrong here? This is the page we are on in DMOZ And this is the page i believe we should be on in the google directory As a side note, i would love to hear your opinions if this really even matters? does google really use it's own directory as part of its search algorithm?

How can I get listed in DMOZ.org
I was listed in DMOZ for over 10 years. Then suddenly my listing dropped out (I suspect a competitor is an editor and bumped us) and my rankings have dropped a bit. I have resubmitted my site repeatedly, but with no luck. Do you have any idea how I can get relisted? Lisa Rioni http://www.wholesalecentral.com
