I've read on some blogs saying that google also rely on DMOZ, is that true?
Do we really need to get indexed in DMOZ? I've tried to submit few of my sites to DMOZ, but none of these sites get indexed!!!
What's wrong with DMOZ anyway? Any idea how to get idexed?
Thanks
u need to submit your site manually, and the editor will add it manually.

I did submit it manually, never use the software to automatically submit your site anyway.
The thing is DMOZ never ever indexed any of my site! That's wierd...being indexed by dmoz is like getting account at frihost. keyword: manual.
there's nothing weird about it. either your site is not qualified to be index on that category, the editors are busy, or there is no editor for that category.
don't bother to ask anyway. that might piss them off. just try to submit again.
hmmm IC thanks, so submit again is the way to go.
Don't submit more than once. They may list your website as spam. Submit once and forget about it.

Look like you two don't agree with submitting more that once, so what is the right way to go. Anybody ?Maybe if you improve your website's content, look, etc. they will let you on the second try.

The only right way to do this is to follow the instructions on http://dmoz.org/add.html and submit your website only once. Thats it!Hello,
Well, it depends when you last submitted your site to DMOZ.
After the late big crash on the DMOZ servers (from October till January) lots of site submissions have been lost in the failure.
So it might be a good thing to re-submit if you did it prior to that.

They were not accepting any submissions during their hardware problem period. And, where did dmoz state that they have lost website submissions in their hardware problem period?there is lot of flare that dmpz editors are corrupt and things like that
but we should to leave it without trying it.
just submit your site once and forget who know after a month or year your sites may get listed in the index of dmoz 
If I am not wrong, Google does make use of dmoz to figure out what a site is about. But then, it is not prefect.
And yup, been reading a lot of such corrupt editors. Come on, what is dmoz doing?

I can only speak for my country (France), and of course, you don't have to believe me; I just know what I say. And I did not say that DMOZ was accepting site submission during servers crash. | dacode wrote: |

Hello Dacode,
Dmoz does not have separate website or servers for any country. There is no separate Dmoz France. All the listings for any region or country is carried out on dmoz.org only. For example, for france it is http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/France/
Also, I am bound to believe you if you provide me with the source 
Hello manumiglani,
Are you a dmoz editor ?
If you want to be more aware of what's going on inside DMOZ, I suggest you apply.
And if you are a dmoz editor, I suggest you read the editors forums sometimes.
If I was speaking about countries, that's because each language has its own editor forums, and all the topics are not covered the same way, that's all.
So I will not provide you with the source, because what's said inside editors forums is private, and if you want to check anything about DMOZ, just apply like I did a few years ago.
PS : Of course, if you want to check that as well, look for my pseudo as an editor

Could you explain why ? You cannot go away with just a few links and the same old song that can be applied to everything in the world, the old strategy of putting all the eggs in the same basket.

It doesn't sound very nice to me, as a vicious personal attack.
I won't follow you on that path. I've just tried to answer and help nappa with my (inner) knwowledge on the topic. Hello dacode,
I just said that I believe you are a dmoz editor. This is not an attack by any means my friend. I just meant anyone can become editor if these dam corrupt ones can.
Besides there is much talk about DMOZ just plain out failing. For may reasons that already have been listed. I also know that since that DMOZ is so big that they do not have many editors and many sections and or Categories are left unsupervised and that many submissions never get accepted because of this. Many of things I have read about and agree to manumiglani already listed. So it isnt always a good thing to get in with the DMOZ.
