Dmoz - Is your site listed in it?

[kavin]

Just wondering how many of you got your site listed in it. 😀

I don't even know what that is, to be honest.

World's largest, human managed Directory.

So how do we check it out? Do we just type the URL to our forums?

If my site's there I didn't put it there, though I put it in some other directories. Haven't heard of this one to be honest. In my opinion directories don't bring much traffic, though they're a neat idea.

I've submitted my site like a year ago and still hasn't been added.

Don't remember if they inform you of whether the site has been accepted or not.

I've submitted 2 different forums and they are still not listed. I think that directory is dead.

Well, I did see a thing where they said it could take anywhere from weeks or months to get your site accepted into the listings. Could've read that wrong but that's what I thought it said anyway.

It was a hot idea in the 90's, but really died off during the rise of social media.

It's a human managed directory. I bet there are thousands of links being submitted daily, whether genuine or bot. There is no obligation to accept your site. It could take hours or years; it's up to them really.

If Wikipedia is correct, it appears DMOZ is still functioning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ODP_sitecount_top.svg

On my weather network, most of my weather sites are listed on DMOZ. To do this, I had to become an editor of the category I wanted them in. But I am an active editor 🙂 I didn't just get in, submit and get out. I am trying to stay true to the benefit of having my sites listed there 🙂

Directories don't bring traffic, which i accept. But even google give importance to sites listed in DMOZ. And its not so easy to get listed in it.
You should consider submitting yours Acorn. 😀

Yeah I understand that. But do you know if one gets a notice saying they got accepted or not? Or would I have to check it out myself every once in a while?

You will not get any notification, whether its accepted or rejected.
Its like you apply and forget. You can check it periodically though.

Well I guess I could do that. But honestly, if it weren't for this thread I would have forgotten about Dmoz.
