Listing a website in Dmoz!

[decipher]

I figured it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to helping those who intend to list their website in Dmoz. If you would like to contribute any information on this matter please reply to this thread.

Thanks!

Its very difficult to get listed in DMOZ. I have tried it 3 times but DMOZ have refused to add my site into its list. I am too looking for some nice tips by which my site could be listed in the DMOZ. Please share your experience here too.

They also rejected my site. In my opinion, sites which have high page ranks are accepted now. I am now trying to increase the page rank of my site. I shall try again after successful attainment of high pr.
The other way to get your site added in dmoz is to have friendly relations with dmoz editors:D

Its really tough to get your site approved by Dmoz. I know and I have never tried to submit my blog until its becomes very much popular.

Can anyone tell me too which is the best way to get listed in the DMOZ? I am trying hard to get listed but unable to get my site listed there.

My understanding is that while there's a couple of reasons that DMOZ takes a very long time to get listed in such as backlogs of submissions to be reviewed, the biggest reason of all is that people don't get listed with DMOZ is failure to follow the submission guidelines.

There also seems to be a huge lack of editors. It's not unusual to be rejected but if you want to increase your chances of being accepted for an editor position, then you could familiarise yourself with the DMOZ Editing Guidelines. That way you'll have a foundational knowledge of what qualities and capabilites they look for in an editor.

For webmasters, that link also has sections like the Site Selection Criteria which gives you an insight into why your site may have been rejected in the past and what you need to do to correct that. If you take the time to go beyond the submit your URL page at DMOZ, you can find out a lot of helpful information to enhance your chances of acceptance.

Just follow simple steps to get a great chance to get listed in DMOZ

1) Dont try to Submit more than once, and try to submit in the correct category and strictly follow their guidelines.

2) Write description which explains your site better, Just read their TOS which category do they accept.

Dmoz is the most important directory to submit for webmasters. The problem is we have to wait a long because Dmoz manually edit the directory submission. Dmoz follows a strict guidelines for admission. I have tried two times without a success in two years.

I've had the same problem with DMOZ, I have probably tried 3 times over the past few years and I've never been admited to the listing. I have followed all the directions, so I'm not sure what the problem is...
