I am seeing Error HTTP 403 Forbidden on your site -- and with such a site, there's no chance to get listed on DMOZ
It takes anywhere from 1 week to 2 years to get listed on DMOZ. There are sites, even with quality content, that can't get listed on DMOZ fast. The key is to make sure: - your site has unique, useful and valuable content that DMOZ editors would feel compelled to include you in DMOZ - make sure that you put the right descriptions and titles in your DMOZ suggestion Then wait -- if after a month or so, your site has not been listed -- resubmit again. Do it every 2 months until they list your site, if ever they will list your site. Remember DMOZ is human edited, so you need to be able to impress that editor with your site |

I'm a little confused. As an internet consultant specializing in search engine optimization, I believe that it is a good idea to submit your site to DMOZ (a.k.a. ODP or the Open Directory Project) --in fact, Google even encourages you to do so! However, being an ODP editor myself, I can tell you from personal experience that perhaps only 10-20% of all the site suggestions we receive actually follow our guidelines..
This is a pity, not only because it wastes the time of the ODP's volunteer editors, but also because it severely reduces the odds of your site being listed within a reasonable amount of time! So, for the benefit of all Workers of the Web, this article will show you how to suggest your site the right way. I will walk you through the Guidelines and point out things that typically go wrong. |
