DMOZ - Can Anybody every Can get in the DMOZ Directory?

[RyanKent]

The issue with DMOZ is their structure. The site is run by volunteer category owners. The volunteers are only required to log in once every 6 months to maintain their status. Some categories are run by diligent volunteers who actively log in weekly and diligently manage their category. Others are run by people who simply don't care.

The result is some site owners are able to get into DMOZ very fast, while others cannot get in at all.

Whoever runs the social media marketing category quit years ago and no one bothered to replace them. There is only like 5 or 6 results!!

You can either APPLY to take over the category if it is open, or you can contact the category operator one tier higher and share your concern.

With DMOZ it is one of those sites where you submit your listing and simply check back in 6 months. But yes I probably have had about 20 sites accepted into different sections, I have also purchased a few sites already with listings in DMOZ.

As it is a free directory you can not really expect speedy acceptance as Ryan said with some niches things do live far quicker.

But to be honest DMOZ does not have the authority and weight it once did say 7 years ago.

It's still worth submitting a site to DMOZ. It's a trustworthy site.

If you're really concerned about getting trustworthy links but don't have much budget then consider whether you want to edit the subcategory you wish your link to appear in.
