Dmoz: ever got a site listed?

I've been trying for years to get my community listed on DMOZ, but I've since stopped trying because the editors never added my site for the category my site should be in.

So, have you ever gotten your site listed in Dmoz's directory?

 

I tried but it turns out a senior moderator for a competing board managed my section. I could've fought it but too much work for too little return, IMHO.

 

I've had a few sites listed and it is a nice bump in backlinks but it seems you'll only get listed if you happen to meetup with one of the editors.
There is a guy in Kansas that has a forum who's an editor and I was lucky enough to get my sites listed.

It is a nice push in backlinks and it's always nice to say you're dmoz listed, but it's really not as big of a deal as it was 5 years ago.

The dmoz listing and the google directory listing are the two best directories that you'll be listed in, in regards to being in dmoz.

 

Nope. I didn't even bother. It might've been relevant years ago, but I wasn't big enough at that point to think it was worthwhile. And now, at a point where it could potentially matter, I don't think DMOZ holds nearly enough weight any more, so I don't really care.

 

Tried a couple of times but nothing so far.

 

Same here, some editors from my category were on Digitalpoint's forums, but I never pressed the issue to them.

@Cerberus:

With that being said, how much do you pay for the bribe?

 

Nope, never got a site listed in DMOZ, at least in the last few years. Don't think my current topic even has a category there due to how out of date the directory is.

I'm a little bit disturbed about how apparently you need to bribe the editors just to have a chance at getting your site included. Shows how utterly pathetic the management is over there now and how corrupt the whole thing is.

 

I've tried to get my sites listed on DMOZ, but it's such a pain in the @$$ to do so. They never respond back to your requests.

 

You know, it'd be nice if they actually contacted you after your request and outright said whether you got accepted or not. It wouldn't have to be immediately, just some sign that they actually look at submissions rather than just throwing them in the next rubbish bin and pretending they never received them. I must have submitted some of my sites about four times so far, and I have no idea whether they received even one of these submissions. They say not to repeatedly submit your site, but how's anyone supposed to follow that rule if you have no idea whether they even looked at it?

 

Are you an editor for DMOZ or something?

 

Well, then, could you look into getting my site listed? I've applied and its never be approved for the Virtual pets category, but one of my competitors is listed, and their site isn't updated frequently. And I think that's kind of wrong considering the amount of quality sites that are usually approved.

 

Heck, could you try and add the category my site should theoretically be listed in? Because there's not even a category to submit it to on the DMOZ at the moment, at least not in English.

 

You say it like you're proud of what you're doing. This is cheating.

What's worse is that you're bragging about bribing editors into submitting your site to DMOZ.

Then, to top it off, you argue with an editor of DMOZ. AWS is a tough person to deal with.

 

No.
