How to get your website listed in Dmoz
by admin on March 18, 2008
Dmoz also known as the Open Directory Project is a multiple language open content directory of World Wide Web links which originally owned by Netscape. It contains all popular categories and divided into further subcategories to cover almost every domain. So if your website get listed in this directory you will surely get benefit and easily spread the business services without spending any dollar ($) for featured or premium listings. Dmoz offers totally free listings but for before approval you have to fulfill the below mentioned terms and conditions:
- Website you’re submitting shouldn’t be a mirror site because Mirror sites are sites that contain identical content, but have altogether different URLs.
- Always submit unique content site and also multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites.
- Deep linking of your website or different pages of same website submission is strictly restricted. Example: http://www.dmoz.org and http://www.dmoz.org/index.html
- Keep in mind that never submits a site with an address that redirects to another address.
- Site which is having any illegal content is against the OPD policy. Examples of illegal material include child pornography; libel; material that infringes any intellectual property right; and material that specifically advocates, solicits or abets illegal activity (such as fraud or violence).
- If a site is “under construction” then don’t even try to submit it and wait until your site is complete before adding for inclusion.
- Suppose you want submit pornographic sites then select the appropriate category under Adult.
- Avoid submitting sites consisting largely of affiliate links.
So if your site passes all these stages successfully then surely you would be listed in Dmoz freely and wait for some 8-9 days which administrator asks for.

my site has passed all those conditions above, but never get listed on dmoz
^^ same as above, have tried once a year for three years, all original content. DMOZ wants you to think they are an improved animal since the meltdown, but it’s the same as it ever was.
