Not Yet Listed At DMOZ

Some webmasters said that they’re waiting more or less four months before their sites were listed on the DMOZ directory. My previous site, “The Way To Know Sueboy” took only three months to wait before the editor added it to the Directory. But this blog is already waiting for almost seven months after the request had been submitted, but then until now it is still nowhere on the directory.

Recently, we’ve noticed that the DMOZ was down and I was really thinking that the chance of my blog to be listed is already dead. But now that DMOZ has back again, I wish and editor can bother adding my blog to the directory.

I was also thinking to resubmit this blog to the directory. But I was cautioned by Cooperdrum’s post at the Digital Point Forums:

The site suggestions have always just been one tool that the editors use to find good sites. The reason you are told not to resuggest your URL has nothing to do with a backlog. It has everything to do with it does you no good. Multiple resuggestions only help to slow down a review process not speed it up, and too many resuggestions could result in being labled as spam. The original suggestion never expires anyway, it waits until an interested editor takes action on it. . That action can be 1 of 3 things-move it to a better location to wait for review, add an appropriate title/description and list it, or determine it is not listable according to the guidelines and therefore it gets deleted. If the later occurs, there is still no need to resuggest because the vast majority of rejected sites could not be made listable without dumping everything and starting over from scratch. If you are concerned that the original suggestion was lost due to the technical problems dmoz had, one resuggestion to the proper category would not cause too much harm.

And I think, it’s true that the editors most likely picked some sites which look like they’re promising sites out of thousands sites submitted.

Think of it not so much as 1000s ahead of you, but more like 1000′s bobbing up and down beside you in the ocean. An editor comes along and sees all the bobbing heads and decides to pluck a few out that look promising. There really is no way to predict which ones, although a properly submitted site suggestion with an appropriate title and description may be more appealing to look at first. Since dmoz has never been concerned with SEO or PR, it is really irrelevant what credibility an SE gives to dmoz on such things. I doubt any search engine (especially google) concerns its self much with dmoz for ranking sites anyway, the only ones who seem to be hung up on that are the misinformed SEO’s that see a listing as an advantage when it really is just another link.

At this rate, nothing I can do but just wait for the editor to pick my blog and add it to the directory.
