How to Get Your Website Listed in DMOZ
Monia Hassan
It sometimes not very easy to get a website listed in DMOZ,
although it helps in achieving higher search engine ranks
especially in Google so its importance should not be neglected.
Through this article I will provide guidelines on what you
should do while submitting your website to this directory.
What is DMOZ? DMOZ is an important directory also known as The
Open Directory Project (ODP), classified into different
categories full of websites. Getting listed is free in this
directory where pages are manually reviewed before inclusion.
Benefits of DMOZ listing Since page rank is a significant factor
for high search engine ranks i.e. the higher the page ranks the
better the chance Google finds your web page. DMOZ has a high
page rank therefore it helps a website page rank value leap to
higher levels. Huge number of websites is in queue for editor's
review; therefore it takes a long time to see listing results
due to limited editors for each category. We ask ourselves
sometimes why our website is rejected by editors, what has gone
wrong when everything done seems so right. In order to know that
the delay is not your fault, concentrate on submitting website
in the most appropriate category because submission in different
category from what your website talks about will lead your
website to be improper place for review, what happens next is
the editor transfers it to somebody else & the process goes on
until the it reaches its category which might take very long
time. Also sites with unique quality content are included
therefore you should put emphasis on placing text content with
relevant keywords otherwise site could be subject to rejection.
Rejection of a website could sometimes not be notified, to know
whether your website is accepted or not, check by typing URL
address & see results. DMOZ editors are always seeking out
useful websites for review so once the above guidelines are
followed properly this means you have done your best, so leave
the rest to them.
