Dmoz: ever got a site listed?

I think you're wrong here. Just because someone isn't cheating, they're not trying. I have tried every possible way to get my site listed on DMOZ; the boring way, and the "attractive" way. "Attractive" as in, targeting the editors so that they are compelled to approve your site. So, since I've run out of ideas, I gave up. I think DMOZ is the worst directory out in existence. I don't even know why AWS is so "strong willed" enough to look into your claims and try to remove the "weak" link.

I just think you're taking the easy way out of beating the DMOZ system. Just like those campers in a Call of Duty game: They camp so that it's easy for them to be in the top 3. Cheaters in Call of Duty are worse at this aspect. Join a game of COD4 or MW2 as a normal player, and see how you like cheating in video games.

Okay, so you run a website that allows talk of exploiting the various websites that are out on the market. In reality, it's people like you that put companies out of business. Lockerz was a really nice service, and I kind-of liked the idea, but I gave up on it because I really can't be bothered to put the effort to get the stuff that's on that service. I mean, a month of credits to get Xbox 360? While cheap cheaters like [you or] your general readership get to get the system the week after their plan? I'm telling you, it's not fair to the website owners that put out thousands of dollars out of their @$$ over cheaters like you or your readers. You better thank god that your site does not cover Google Adsense because you will piss off not just site owners like myself, you will piss off bloggers, writers, and business owners so hard that they will file a class action lawsuit against you for putting them out of the ad game. And guess who's going to represent that class action? Google.

You hear a lot about people getting banned on Adsense these days... I know a few people losing money because they were banned from GA. Google gets a lot of spam these days, and not only that, they get a lot of cheaters like yourself and/or your site's readers.

But hey, enjoy what you're doing. It's your site.

 

Proud to met Mr. AWS! Please, tell me if some of these 3 websites has a chance to be in DMOZ:
www.seo-forum-seo-luntan.com (international SEO and Non-SEO forum)
www.red-moles.info (about the red moles in medicine and politics)
www.where-is-ip.info (about the IPs)

Because I saw in the http://www.resource-zone.com that a person said "Times vary between a few days and several years. " and I hope you can answer me now weather I have any chance for some of these 3 websites or not. Thank you!

 

Back to the topic of the DMOZ...

I don't care if people try and manipulate it or bribe people to include their sites. Because whether the last few editor hold outs like it or not, absolute NO ONE uses the site to find websites or useful content any more. Directories are generally dead, to the point I'd say about 99% of their audience is probably webmasters looking for free links to their sites. The Open Directory is dead, the directory concept is generally dead and quite frankly they may as well just accept their audience is pretty much 100% webmasters and spammers now.

And hey, at least that true cheaters site looks to have content people might be looking for. If there's a relevant category for it, why shouldn't the guy above's site be accepted in? The DMOZ thing is meant to list useful sites, and it looks a lot more useful than a lot of the long dead garbage cluttering up that directory.

Hell, here's a question: Why doesn't the DMOZ just shut down already? Even Google dropped the whole thing as a service.

 

There isn't a "suggest URL" link for my niche, so no I haven't.

 

I believe there's a lot of sites that give your IP. The resource-zone, isn't it owned by TheAdminZone's management or is it owned by someone else? Personally I'd love to get my board listed on big-boards directory one day as well.

 

Ya, that's how I became confused about it. Thanks for explaining things to us. Also, did you manage to get the DMOZ listing for me? I pmed you about it.

 

I guess I got lucky, I submitted mine and a week later it was listed.

I haven't checked dmoz is years, I really need to sit down and submit the new sites I've started in the last 3 years.
I really like how the conversation is coming along, let's not let it get personal and be thankful to those who have been listing off their experience

nice work!

 

I've never had success with getting listed on DMOZ. It's really discouraging really, but I just keep waiting and hoping that one day my site will get listed.

 

I have tried (many times) but never had a site accepted or any feedback, this was a long time ago. But I've been thinking about it recently now that I have a few new projects that I'm working on.

 

Hmm, I think I might have a go at it this weekend.
