How to get a site listed in ODP?

[marketraisecorp]

Well friends today I need your help.I have been trying to get my website submitted to the DMOZ directory for the last 6 months.The submission process is as follows.You read the rules and guidelines and submit your website to the directory manually.Once the submission is done a message is flashed across the screen that reads "Your submission has been approved .It will be reviewed by an administrator before it is added to our list."After this is done another message props up as a hint saying that for quicker reviewing of your website it is advisable that you sign up as an editor to dmoz as the review might take up to 4-6 weeks.Signing up as an editor will get the review done faster.Once you sign up as an editor the message is flashed again saying "your request will be reviewed by an already existing editor before being accepted."This might take upto 4-6 weeks.
As it is I am tired and have lost ideas as to how I could get my website listed on Dmoz. Kindly help me.

I sympathise.

I have submitted 5 websites to DMOZ. Only 1 of them got listed.

I am thinking it is volunteers who edit the DMOZ directory, and therefore it is a somewhat inefficient service. There are deadlinks galore in the DMOZ directory.

I am going to re-submit AGAIN. I think this is the only way to try and get listed.

If you don't get your site listed move on, quit moaning and quit wasting your time

Yeah. Dmoz is great. But it isnt the be all and end all of SEO.Pay to submit to Yahoo instead, a much better directory IMHO (unbiased 'personal' editors)

It's really hard and takes a lot of time to get listed at Dmoz. Better submit on other quality directories..

When you re-submit to ODP it over-writes your last submission. So if the last submission is now #50 out of a hundred in the queue, the new one will over-write it and be #100 out of a hundred.

Kindly help me.I can't see a lot of reasons to list the site in your profile (if that is the one you are asking for). There are about a zillion other sites offering the same you are and some of them are already listed in DMOZ -- unless you have a service or some info that those already listed do not have, then why would DMOZ want to list the site? Where is the 'unique content'?

Yep I've given up on DMOZ - submitted tens of sites over the past few years and only had one or two posted. Even when I offered to be an editor in a particular field - I was denied... whatever! There's better ways to spend your time...

No need to post your site on DMOZ again and again. The human editors at DMOZ are quite slow and it also depend upon the category of your website. One of our site got listed after around one year of submission and many are still waiting for the approval since long time.

Also to become an editor on DMOZ seems to be a tough and lenghty process as I have applied before a year and a half and till waiting for any response.

Better you post your sites on other quality non paid directories and paid directories, if possible.

all the best...

There aren't any editor applications 18 months old awaiting evaluation; in fact there are none older than a few weeks.

Yours either failed to complete the automated email verification process (and so was never seen by the meta editors) or was declined.

Try again :). There's good advice available over at the Resource Zone forum and you can subsequently ask for a status check on your application there.

I have tried to submit some sites for about 4 years and no luck :(

I applied about 8 months ago. Nothing yet. I even tried to become an editor, they didn't approve. I would say forget about it.
