"Its is obvious from your post, that your whinge is based on you not understanding DMOZ and DMOZ not meeting YOUR service expectations - in that case, I suggest to request arefund .... oh, hang on a minute, its free!!! "

why don't you explain to them what thir not understing?

Just remember you said it was free!

qoute from DMOZ:

http://dmoz.org/about.html
"The Open Directory was founded in the spirit of the Open Source movement, and is the only major directory that is 100% free."

Here's what their about.

Remeber they said it TOO.

"Obviously you are looking for a free listing service from DMOZ. As
DMOZ does not provide this service, can I suggest you go elsewhere."

Then why does DMOZ and you say it's free?

Oh yeah you just contradicted yourself and the DMOZ.

"Other direcories have a free and paid listing service. An editors job is not to review sites. An editors job is to build a category of resources ..."

Don't you think we submit our sites to help the editors? If the category isn't the I request for it and ask to help, but nothing is ever done.

I know their are some spammers out their, but they put them at the end of the line every time they resubmit. So how come the editors aren't putting us in for years?

we should be moving up in line when we wait so long, and the spammers always stay at the back. Was I spamming when I waited 6 months and asked about my site?

If you waited six months for a response and asked again you wouldn't be spamming, you would be courious and caring about what is going on. Also many people here have tried to help and been rejected.

"Why are you bothering to monitor it. The standard advice is submit and forget ... move on."

I can notice it on goolge search.
do a dmoz search on anything you want. find a web site. Now type in that company name at google. In the top of google's first page(Not always, but more often than not). You can also type in the directory name, at google if they have any SEO they will be on the top of those pages too.

So when you know that don't ya think we should care. I know I care about what I'm doing. And it sounds to me almost everyone else here does too, or else they wouldn't be so worried about this.

how many people our editors at DMOZ and also work in the SEO world?

"Maybe because we have to deal with so many who expect something for nothing and have a major misuderstanding about what DMOZ is about."

I thought it was free and I aslo tried to help, but it's not open.

Why don't u explain what the DMOZ is about rather than skiping over it. what is this "...major misunderstanding..." we have?

Quote:

"I don't see you coming here correcting factual errors. Have you counted how many not true statements have been posted in this thread."

By who?

Qoute:

"You are showing your misunderstadings. DMOZ (like any other "business") does listen to its users ("customers") ... webmasters trying to get a listing are just not the user/customer. The users of DMOZ data are the user/customer."

Customer = Google, and other search engines using their database.

How can sites for example like carpet cleaning companies, Archetecture firms, Reastraunts in local areas and other sites like this haven't been listed?

and don't blame it on developers, because we submit it, we are doing it for are client who might not be very web savy or just doesn't want to do it. When you see the same person registering more than 1 site maybe it's because they have made more than 1 web site each for a different company. I only submit a site when it's finished (or shall I say at completion of version 1.0).

Submitit and forget it!

I think they mean if you submit it then forget it!
Because we all know if you submit it nothing ever happens.
