      Hello,

      My website is not listed in DMOZ. Is DMOZ important? And how to submit website to DMOZ directory?

      Thank you!

        There has been a lot of questions on DMOZ already. Just type "DMOZ" in search bar :p.

        Just two examples :

        • Some SEO tools like Woorank consider it a mistake to be not listed in DMOZ.

        • If you look for expired domains at expireddomains.net, you can pick the option "listed in DMOZ" among other options like domain authority, page rank etc.

        Important = yes. Essential = no. Don't be mad if you're not accepted.

        To submit you site, use the search bar to find the most suitable category then "suggest URL".

          At this point in the game it's really not going to make much difference at all. It's one link that was at one time, thought to be critical. Now, not so much.

            It's also worth bearing in mind that if you submit your site to DMOZ some categories no longer have volunteers dealing with applications, so your submission may sit in the queue for the next several years going nowhere.  So even if it is important, it's not necessarily achievable  🙂

            So submit and then instantly forget about it and stop caring.

              That's why I'm probably not getting listed then! Haha 😄

                  Hi John and others. It's been over a year John, did you get listed yet? As noted above, some categories may not have editors who are active, and some editors reject listings for any reason, accepting only the best, most important, and most relevant ones. Some categories are almost impossible, even if your site is relevant and has quality content.

                  Were you successful in getting a DMOZ listing for your site?

                    403 Forbidden is coming now for DMOZ.org.

                    I am not sure if we need to list our website in DMOZ, my company website https://www.sellbuystuffs.com seems to be not listed there, and not sure how to add the listing.
