Okay, lets try and address your misunderstandings, but this is getting tiresome...
Quote:
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.
quote:
"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.
I did not contradict myself, but probably should have made myself clearer - by free listing service, I mean the mentality that exists that DMOZ should list every site submitted, that it somehow owes webmasters something. I should have left the word free out - and said something like DMOZ is not a listing service there for the benefit of webmasters - other directories provide that service for free and paid.

Don't you think we submit our sites to help the editors?
Yes you do and we know that, but the pool of submited sites is just one of many resources an editor can use to build a category. The point I have made several times is that it is the worst source and an inefficient use of the limited time a volunteer editor has.

Quote:
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?
kricpton answered that with the reasons above - there is already to much repitition in this thread.

Quote:
how many people our editors at DMOZ and also work in the SEO world?
I have no idea, but of the editors I know none are SEO's. I assume there are some.

Quote:
Customer = Google, and other search engines using their database.
There are about ~4000 sites using DMOZ data (not just search engines - none of them are complaining!!

Quote:
Why don't u explain what the DMOZ is about rather than skiping over it. what is this "...major misunderstanding..." we have?
Have you read the thead - I have done that several times....

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?
I guess you have not read the thread - if you have, you will see all the factual errors being corrected!!!

Quote:
Because we all know if you submit it nothing ever happens.
Another factual error. ~2000 sites a day get listed. Thats nothing ever happening?? ... that makes DMOZ the fastest growing directory out there - nothing else comes close to this number.
