| You
will need to go through all of your web
pages to make sure that your website is
elegant and professional. Your website
design should be already completed at the
time you make the submission. That means
that the design of every single web page
should be finished. Unfinished websites
will be rejected. Also make sure that
your website contains valuable and
relevant information or your website will
get rejected.
One of
the benefits of being listed with the
Open Directory Project is that your
website will sooner or later appear in
other search engines like Google and
Yahoo. This happens because the DMOZ
listings are used by numerous search
engines and directories, including
Google.
The
submission process is relatively
uncomplicated. Your first step is to
visit the website of Open Directory
Project: http://www.dmoz.org. You will be
able to select a category and
subcategories for your website and add
your website’s URL. Make sure that
you selected the correct category and
subcategory. Incorrect selection may
result in longer waiting period or
rejection. Also read and follow the
provided instructions and requirements
very carefully
The
title and description that you submit
should be carefully prepared and reviewed
to make sure they accurately describe the
content and the main theme of your
website. If DMOZ editors will disagree
with your description or title, they can
either change it or completely reject
your website.
It may
take some time (sometimes 6 months or
more ...) before your website will show
up in the Open Directory Project.
However, do not resubmit your website
during the waiting period as this can
only result in a longer delay or get your
website rejected. Be patient and
regularly check the status of your
submission by doing the search on DMOZ.
If your website does not get listed for a
long period of time or gets rejected, you
can also check on the status of the
submission or the reasons for the
rejection by contacting the editors for
the subcategory that you selected.
