How long takes DMOZ to accept a site?

[z3nyt]

Hi,

I have submitted my website to Dmoz and I'm wondering how much time takes to accept or reject it?

I submitted mine ages ago and haven't heard a thing. I reckon they're so inundated by submissions they've effectively ground to a halt (although I'd be happy to find out otherwise).

Just submit and forget. It can take months, even years to get into Dmoz. There used to be a forum where you could ask Dmoz editors about the progress of your listing (haven't checked it out recently) and that could sometimes help, but there's just not enough editors.

Yeah i agree, it really sucks how unuser friendly that directory has become..

Don't worry to much about dmoz, there are better places you can submit your site, where they generally get listed either instantaneously or within a short period of time.

Sign up on the many dofollow/nofollow forums, and keep some links in your signature, most of them don't mind that you do this. This is both a great way to promote your site, as well as a nice source to backlinks in some cases.

Then we have Social Bookmarking sites, those are some of the better places to submit sites. Some of them also uses dofollow links, but in any case its still some nice places to promote your sites.

Guestbooks are mainly only good for backlinks, blogs is a bit better when promoting. Finally we have directories, other then dmoz of cause.


Simply submit your site and move on, dmoz is more or less useless, and the backlinks you get from a listing, is easily made up for within a few days of dedicated SEO.

Dmoz is a 100% free and human edited directory. So, it may takes months to review the submitted site.

So, it may takes months to review the submitted site

and this is the problem. Dmoz is pointless, like all the others gets just one thing - webmaster's adding their sites. They don't go their to search, they go to add sites.

A site where noone searches is pointless. If there are no searches, there's no traffic, and that fits nicely into the constant complaining about dmoz, which is on every forum going.

You won't get any traffic from dmoz - it's full of webmaster sites, and those sites dont get any traffic, so no traffic.

It may take forever!

I dont see what the big deal is, its easy to submit, just spend a few minutes submitting then forget about it, eventually you will get in.

i think there's a problem when they approve links..

they took a long time to index it
