News from the dead..

February 14, 2007

Dmoz is a large web directory but since a long time the directory is not taking any new submissions, from December 18th 2006 dmoz is taking new submissions.. Yeah right, this message from a dmoz editor will tell you more.

Curt Monash is a editor at dmoz, at his blog texttechnologies.com he makes the following statements about the directory dmoz.org.

  • DMOZ is dead. Fiction!
  • New site submissions are being processed. Partial fact.
  • Pending site submissions were lost in the outage. Partial fact.
  • Other non-public ODP data was lost in the outage too. Partial fact.
  • New editor applications aren’t being processed yet. Fact.
  • ODP editors are corrupt. Fiction!
  • The ODP is secretive and deceptive. Largely fiction.
  • If a DMOZ category doesn’t have a listed editor, it’s unlikely to get much attention. Part fact, part fiction.
  • ODP editors hate search engine optimization. Partial fact.
  • ODP editors hate SEOs. Partial fact.

Well as we all can read, dmoz is still dead. Read on in this interesting article about the directory dmoz.

In the mean time I would suggest to submit your website to a quality web directory like dirspace, avivadirectory, alivedirectory, botw or site-sift directory.
