  Google and Dmoz - Are They in Love?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Dmoz) is owned by Netscape, which in turn is owned by AOL, which is owned by massive media conglomerate Time Warner.
Dmoz is just one of millions of sites enjoying his attentions.
A virginal site with no other link to it could be listed in Dmoz on a Monday and find itself in Google and several other engines by the weekend.

 Advice for Webmasters Troubled by DMOZ - Webmaster Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Webmasters often think DMOZ is very unfair in their methods of accepting websites and editors.
The reason DMOZ does not give specific reasons on why your site or editor application was denied is because they should not have to (and the editors may not have time).
My take on the DMOZ directory is that it has unofficially and unintentionally become a listing of sites where webmasters have put their passion into their creation.

 My DMOZ Fan Page
There are many DMOZ editors out there who are good - they are so into their field of interest they really want to make a difference and take their position serious.
DMOZ editors have gotten so used to being kissed up to, they talk to people any which way they want.
We are being lied to and the term DMOZ is corrupt does apply in my opinion because of who has taken control.

 Account Security (DMOZ Documentation Project)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
DMOZ editors are privileged to have access to restricted information (Editor Notes, the contents of the discussion fora, edit logs, etc.) and the ability to modify the data contained within the Directory.
If editors insist on accessing DMOZ from a framed environment, it is recommended that they store the frameset document, and all related files, on a local disk, and use them from there.
As a result, if editors access DMOZ via shared computers / terminals they should take extra precautions to ensure that their credentials are cleared from their client after they have completed their session, or left their computer / terminal unattended.

 Submitting your website to DMOZ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
DMOZ provides a lot of search results for a good percentage of the most important search engines and directories, including Google.
According to DMOZ rules and regulations, you are only allowed to submit to one category.
As much as the DMOZ editors are looking for great content, all are only human and will probably be irritated by some typos or spelling mistakes.

 Web Design Forums.net - adding site to DMOZ
Thing with Dmoz is that each site is checked by someone and therefore for the more popular topics it can take your site longer to be checked.
DMOZ is a volunteer-edited human directory, and getting into it can be difficult.
I'm a DMOZ editor, basically all submissions are manually checked by a human before inclusion - this means that your site won't appear for a while if the category you submitted it to has a lazy editor or the editor who will check your link is away.

 DMOZ Isn’t Open After All
Perhaps the most popular directory is DMOZ, an open directory project that employs human editors for the submission/approval procedure.
SitePoint poster Kimberly commented about her experience with DMOZ, "I submitted under a heading only to learn 3 months later that the #3 player in my market was the editor.
To be fair, every editor that volunteers to DMOZ isn't going to mistreat your submission, although it may be awhile before it gets approved.

 DMOZ - Is The Open Directory Project Open?
I joined DMOZ because the website I had submitted was not reviewed and listed in a timely manner.
DMOZ has a penchant for throwing out good editors, so I really doubt they would hesitate to throw out the bad ones.
In the end, DMOZ may be slow moving, slow to change, outdated, unloved, unkempt, and insufficiently manned.

 Search Engine Reviews: DMOZ
The search engines that use DMOZ data add their own tweaks to it, but there seems to be consensus that being listed at DMOZ boosts your rank at those search engines –; especially the ones that take link popularity into account.
DMOZ does not have a spider that follows links from that homepage, so only the homepage is added to the directory.

 floating atoll: Integrating blogs and DMOZ
DMOZ currently publishes the category list (as RDF), so it'd be possible to assign DMOZ categories to posts on my blog, using DMOZ as a topic cloud.
Over time, I'd assign multiple DMOZ categories to the posts, and then publish the posts in a DMOZ-like tree structure somewhere on my blog (recursive tree-surfing html-producing plugin, I suppose).
Btw, I was thinking of DMOZ and ENT myself before (see comments).

 The DMOZ Myths
DMOZ was launched in June of 1998, as a response to the slow review process of the Yahoo!
DMOZ is nowhere near to being large enough to even moderately useful to Google.
Unlike BlueFind and SevenSeek, DMOZ listings may take months or years to be reviewed, and more often than not they are rejected or misplaced.

 DMOZ.org
DMOZ doesn't let you know if your site is accepted or not and there isn't that much info.
I am not sure on how DMOZ does things nowadays, but previously there were a few tricks.
DMOZ is "distributed" -- meaning, many different editors manage many different categories, and I do not think that they have any central tracking software to keep track of submissions, etc. So, my feeling is that you can submit to several different categories without too much worry.

 Possible to have more than one listing on DMOZ?
Dmoz is pretty much just a big piece o' crap...
Well the big thing with directories, including DMOZ, is the backlinks they provide you Some, like the DMOZ directory, are used by other websites...
so getting into DMOZ might have your site appear on dozens or hundreds of websites with a decent page rank It might seem like alot of work, researching all the different directories that you can submit to, but its often something you only have to do once...

 DMOZ - a.k.a. The Open Directory Project (ODP)
DMOZ, also known as The Open Directory Project (ODP), is a large, categorized directory of websites and pages, which is staffed by volunteers.
DMOZ's policy is to include sites that have unique content, which means that many sites don't qualify for inclusion.
They are keen to add websites that have unique content, and keen to improve the directory; in fact, they remind me of a colony of ants busying themselves in and around their anthill (the directory), building it up, each tiny bit by each tiny bit.

 NOVELL: Cool Solutions: Using DMOZ Open Directory Project lists with Novell BorderManager
It includes background information on DMOZ, how to obtain the DMOZ ODP data, how to produce an extract of the data and how to keep the list up-to-date automatically.
The DMOZ open directory project (ODP) is a public domain project to provide a human-edited index of the web.
Whilst there are many tools available for extracting and manipulating the RDF data, there was not until recently a tool specifically for the Novell NetWare/Novell BorderManager environment to perform the task of extracting useful data from the list.

 DMOZ Directory
DMOZ is an international directory managed by thousands of voluntaries, joined together within the Open Directory Project (ODP): it is a free directory.
The Google directory is an adapted version of DMOZ, updated approximately only one time per month, where the sites are ordered according to their PageRank instead of the traditional alphabetical order.
To be included in DMOZ, browse the categories of the directory, under one sub-category of "World > " according to the language used by your site if it is not english.

 Rich Get Richer - Why Yahoo, DMOZ, Google and PageRank are Important
Yahoo and DMOZ are part of the elite directories that can jumpstart a web site's PageRank and help it establish visibility in Google's search results.
The DMOZ directory generally carries the largest weight of any directory in defining how fast a web site acquires incoming links because it is also the Google Directory and its listings are syndicated to many web sites.
The Santa Fe Institute did research on preferential attachment that found that "the probability of scientists collaborating increases with the number of other collaborators they have in common, and that the probability of a particular scientist acquiring new collaborators increases with the number of his or her past collaborators".

 Why is DMOZ So Important to The Web
DMOZ data is now used by the majority of major search engines on the net.
This fact alone makes DMOZ the most important submission you will ever make and is the reason thousands of individuals will spend months begging and pleading with DMOZ editors trying to get their site listed in the directory.
The search engines and other directories that use DMOZ's data make their own adjustments, but there seems to be consensus that being listed at DMOZ boosts your rank at those search engines - especially the ones that take link popularity into account (Google for instance).

 Corrupt DMOZ Editor: Sabotaging a Competitors DMOZ Listing for Fun & Profit
In the DMOZ editor dashboard you have the option to move the contributed website to a "more appropriate" category.
AOL/TimeWarner own DMOZ and they treat it like the dollar chasing b***h it really is. And you should, too.
Sabotaging your competitors is not simply about deleting their sites from the categories, but a more subtle and ongoing process of destroying their relevance for important keyword phrases.

 Submit to DMOZ Web Directory, Optimized Web Page Submission for DMOZ
DMOZ was broken for months on end at one point in time and people have submitted repeatedly to various categories.
DMOZ volunteer editors are strict on the criteria for being added to the directory, they strive to keep the directory clean and full of relevant content for web sites in their appropriate category.
To submit to DMOZ browse to the category you wish to be included in and click on "suggest URL" in the upper right hand corner.

 In Defense Of DMOZ
Featured in the article were comments from various forums about negative experiences people had while waiting for their site to be accepted or denied.
I should have included this in the first article but, if you have an indication that your submission was treated unfairly, or in an abusive manner, you are encouraged to contact the DMOZ hierarchy through this link and by selecting "Abuse Report" for the subject.
Because of DMOZ's stance of building a directory with quality content, not a place to submit your site for immediate approval, these ideas and guidelines are quite valid.

This may have been posted here before but I was not aware of the fact that Dmoz has a sort of support forum at http://www.resource-zone.com/.
One of the problems I have noticed at Dmoz is how unequal things are between areas with an editor and areas without.
Why I was looking around in Dmoz, I noticed another site that I am involved with that is in another interest area.

 DMOZ: Advanced submissions and listings
DMOZ is a very important, widely-used, and well-known Internet directory.
There are some advanced techniques available, but as with anything involving DMOZ, you have to be very careful to follow the published rules.
Before you can go on to advanced DMOZ submission concepts, you need to be fully conversant in the basic submission procedure.

 Open Directory Project: DMOZ: Frequently Asked Questions
The Open Directory Project http://www.dmoz.org, better known as DMOZ, is probably the single most important directory on the Internet.
The link popularity value in the search engines is quite high as a result of a DMOZ listing, both directly from the directory itself, and from the subsequent addition to many small dirctories.
DMOZ is indeed a bit of a nightmare.

 Tips for submitting to DMOZ.org (OPD)
DMOZ is also known as "Open Directory Project" (ODP).
If you manage to get your site listed in the DMOZ directory, you will improve your Google ranking considerably because your site will also be listed in the Google directory which mirrors the DMOZ directory.
If you submitted your site and it was not listed after 3-4 weeks, you may want to ask about your site's status at the public forum of the DMOZ editors.

 Demise of DMOZ?
That’s right there is no longer a link to the Google’s version of the DMOZ directory on Google's search page.
Then too given that Google has gone from updating their version of the DMOZ directory monthly to what can best be termed as "sporadic" is another bad sign.
Oh and nearly six months later DMOZ is still on life support as this guest article shows.
