Dmoz (the Open Directory Project) is one of the largest internet directory systems which is maintained by human editors. It is a great idea to submit your site to DMOZ. However, it may take from 2 weeks to a year to get listed in or rejected. Here are some tips that can help your site get listed in Dmoz.
- To have good quality contents is the most important thing for you because Dmoz is edited by human editors.
- Submit your site to the correct category. Submitting your site to a wrong category will slow the sites’ approval.
- Don’t submit your site if it is “under construction”. It just wastes your time to submit an “unfinished” site because it will not get listed in Dmoz.
- Don’t submit duplicate sites. If you have two sites with same contents, it’s better to submit one domain to Dmoz and redirect another one to this one.
- Don’t submit individual URLs from the same site. Usually, you should just submit your homepage to Dmoz rather than the inner pages.
- Your site will not get listed in Dmoz if consisting of many affiliate links.
- Your site will not get listed in Dmoz if it has any illegal contents.
