No telling really. It's a human edited directory. So whenever they get around to it probably. The next issue is... did you do it right or put it in the right subsection.
I find it hard to get in.

Your chances of being listed on Dmoz are low. They reject the vast majority of applications. This quality control makes them the most desirable directory; Google is known to be heavily influenced by Dmoz listings.

If your site is genuinely among the most useful web resources for its subject, then you will probably get in. Otherwise -- no chance.

Submitting to DMOZ is an artform. Whole companies have sprung up to deal with submissions.

As an ex-editor I can tell you that submissions can take up to two years to be accepted or rejected.

You are well within your rights to re-submit after twelve months, although resubmitting often will only alienate the editor and likely get you binned before you start.

It really depends. Rob here seems to know much more than the rest of us as he just said he's been an editor of it.

I've got listed several times myself fairly quickly (a few weeks) but I entered into a relatively small category of local listings for my nearest town.

i tried to become a editor but failed.

Is it worth being in Dmoz is it that seo friendly.
Ps. there site is rubbish

It can take months, and most of the time you have to submit it a few times. At the end of the day its people who decide if you get in, and some of them have motives for not letting you in - they may even run a particular category because they own a site in that category.

I have a few sites that have 3 or 4 listings each , but it has taken ages for that to happen, it certainly wont happen over night.

Yeah for some people it could take a couple years. A friend of mine submitted his like a year ago and has not gotten anything yet. So the time varies

This is an issue wih me too. I submitted one of my created websites to DMoz like www.mahaviratents.com to it and it was indexed in the directory but when i submitted my own website www.csquaretech.com to it it was rejected. I dont know why??

Spyros · Oct 28th, 2007, 10:07

Hi!

DMOZ is a human driven directory which means that submission to it has do go through a human character. That could mean many, many things and unfortunately creates unpredicted circumstances. So, I don't think anybody could say that there is a specific time in which you get results.
DMOZ is one of those sites you submit and forget about it. If you are in you are in, if not... don't sweat, you can try more sites to submit your website anyway!

Cheers!

hi i ahve a PR3 for my current website www.csquaretech.com, now i am trying to do a revamp at http://beta.csquaretech.com. The probelem i feel is that the new site has a different directory structure and my current pages that are indexed by search engines will be invalid. will this affect the PR. How can i improve my PR??
