View Full Version : Can you have more than one listing in DMOZ?

I have been unsure about submitting more than once to DMOZ a few times, and decided to hold on it just because I don't want to do something unethical. However, I see some of my competitors do it and it's hurting some of my rankings at some cases. Today I came across this list:

The following is a listing of the Top domains in DMOZ with the most listings. Some find it hard to just get one listing. So we decided to make the Open Directory truly open. We are letting people know what those top domains are. We encourage people to dig around and do their own independent research. Help ODP out by reporting abuse. We don't want to imply that having multiple listings is bad thing in itself. There are several reasons that a site could legitimately have received multiple listings. But if you find gross over multiple listings and you feel really dirty just looking at it. Feel free to report your findings to Meta Editors or the ODP staff directly.
So, is it allowed or not?

>>is it allowed

Yes.

Generally speaking:

One category listing for main page
One regional listing
Deeplinks where the content is rich enough.

Deeplinks where the content is rich enough Just to emphasise that these are listed only rarely and at the discretion of the editor. We'd prefer that you don't submit them yourself.

Please don't be tempted to submit every page of your masterpiece; you wouldn't want us to think you're a spammer :D .

Huh? Those are either news sites or ISPs that give you free personal pages or free web hosting space or universities with research papers, thesis and personal pages or gov sites ... - each deep link is listed for the specific resources it provides. Extracting the domain from each URL and then saying that domain has so many deep links out of context of where and why the links are listed is very misleading to say the least.

I am not an ODP Editor. This is just MHO.
