Just listed on Dmoz.org

[steven]

I, am needless to say very happy that my site was just added to the Dmoz.org Open Directory Project. And now if you click on the following link, vbulletin is paid some homage

http://www.dmoz.org/Home/Consumer_Information/Complaints_and_Protection/

look at what it says next to baddealings.com

Thanks VB

Steven

Thanks, it took a while, but after I e-mailed the editor today, I was added in a minute. For some reason, I knew that you'd respond to this thread eva, oh wait you respond to every thread.

[George L]

never... i have 6 of my sites in dmoz directory and the traffic ain't that good - 3 of the sites are cool sites/editor's choice too

It seems that the search engines are dropping it in favor of looksmart (they get paid for that i guess) which is a shame. I still use dmoz.com for search 1st and then google 2nd. Yahoo i don't use on principle knowing how hard it is to get a site in!

[Freddie Bingham]

Dmoz entries will get propgated to Aol and Netscape search so it is still important.

[George L]

yep and aol partnered with goto searches too

i always submit to

alltheweb.com
directhit.com
altavista
google
inktomi
looksmart
dmoz

and last yahoo

[George L]

and for me also to

animepitstop.com
animelinks.com
animespider.com

and the Yahoo of Anime and equally as hard to get into

anipike.com - tried for months to submit to it but they only accept 600 submissions per week and i always miss out

[Freddie Bingham]

Don't feel bad I have never heard of anipike.com so you didn't lose a hit from me by not being listed there.

same here

[George L]

yeah everyone has their little circle of sites they know of ...

[thetakerfan]

then again, I'm not into Anime much, so i haven't heard of any other those other sites either

The nice thing about dmoz, is that alot of targeted websites use there information for there link listing, i may only recive 5 - 10 people a month from dmoz, but i get about 50 - 75 from sites that use the dmoz database, and not the big sites like aol / go, but the small specialty sites.

Anyhow, congrats on the listing, and for some odd reason, i have never had a problem with getting listed in yahoo, of the 7 sites i tried to list, 6 got listed in under a month. You just need to find the right category, dont hype your site, and tripple check everything. (it dosent hurt to add "Thank you for your time, and I love yahoo!" in the comments box
