Submitting To DMOZ
DMOZ
is the open source directory. It's
edited by live people, so there really
isn't any way to "trick" it.
However, it's a very prime piece of real
estate for using to start getting your
website all over the Internet.
You
see, many search engines, directories,
and content farms use DMOZ's directory
to make sure they are offering relevant
content. DMOZ's human editors will
only approve websites that have relevant
content and are professional looking.
Read the Submission
Terms at DMOZ before you submit your
website, and if you don't comply, don't
bother submitting it. It can take
up to 6 months to get approved because
your site has to be seen by a human
editor. Make sure your description
of your site is accurate as well as they
may just reject you instead of editing
it.
The address for DMOZ
is
www.dmoz.org.
Here's a quick overview on how to get
listed at DMOZ:
Step One
Determine whether
a site is appropriate for submission
to the ODP;
-
Mirrored
sites are not allowed.
-
Duplicate
sites with different URL's.
-
Do not submit
the same URL more than once - no
cheating.
-
No redirects.
-
No illegal
content, or any work that
infringes on other's
intellectual property rights.
No libel, or child pornography.
-
No under
construction sites. Finish
you site before submission.
-
Submit
pornography (if you are so
inclined) under the appropriate
adult category.
-
Don't submit
sites consisting largely of
affiliate links.
Step Two
Do a quick search in the directory
dmoz.org to ensure that your site is
not already listed.
Step Three
The most important part of your
submission is finding the right
"category" to place your submission
in. Spend time on this or your
site will not be accepted. You
should also be aware that several
categories do not accept
submissions.
Step Four
Once you've selected the best
category for your site, go directly
to that category on dmoz.org and
then click "Suggest URL". You
will need to enter some other
information and it is in your best
interest to not turn this into an
ad. Just who, what, where,
when, and why will do quite nicely.
