Hey All. Am from Wikipedia. There might be interest in taking on DMOZ. We at Wikipedia like your work. What is the best way to discuss this sort of thing? How big is the DMOZ community? Could it be run on a wiki? Who owns the logo, name, and stuff? BTW am user Doc James on Wikipedia.

I second what @Robert Sumner said here. I've been using DMOZ on and off since about 2001, made some suggestions on this forum with my registration in 2004, but study, work and a failed application as an editor didn't see me contribute much further. However, just like Robert and others here, I've always thought there was much potential in a human-managed directory, if only it could've been better organised. Every end, is a new beginning and a new opportunity to learn from the past. Just like Wikipedia is best because it's human-edited, a directory created and maintained by humans is still vastly superior to AI and ML these days (hear that zvelo.com?). Any technology…

Just wanted 2 drop a note that I liked the concept of the site but never really got around to using it much. Once I applied 2 be an editor but was rejected, so that cinched it. I came back time 2 time when I had a unique idea to explore. Search engines and web directories must had beaten the site. It was poorly organized in its later years. But I always thought I saw potential there 4 it. Pac-Man strikes again ....

Just like many other website developers/owners out there I also tried to have my website listed on DMOZ. Based on a significant amount of reading and research I came to the conclusion that trying to reach this particular goal is nothing but a waste of time and I'll explain why... Although everything about my website is 100% alright and the category I chose is the correct one... it still didn't get listed so I thought I'd do some research and try to understand. And I did. Based on my readings/research it wasn't too hard to understand what's going on with DMOZ! While googling information about the DMOZ submission process and other DMOZ related info, I found som…

Hi guys! I just got accepted as an editor. The username is: georgeb2008 I can not login however through the top-right corner of the main website. I enter the logon information exactly as I received it and it's not letting me in. I went through the 'Forgot Password' option and I got e-mailed the same password so I'm pretty sure I have the right user/pass. Why wouldn't it let me login ? Thank you, George

Good morning, What really happens whe someone request to edit his existing listing in DMOZ ? What about when someone request to edit only the URL? Is there an automated DMOZ crowl&update of the urls ? Once an editor edits an existing ODP listing, or accepts a new listing in DMOZ, the modification will be seen directly on public page, or not?.... is there is a periodical update ...some days after the listing is edited by the editor befor to show on public page (as i can remember when i was an editor in 2005) ? We already set 301 redirects in the .htaccess of ccTLDs to the .com/fr/, .com/ro/, .com/it/ new domain folders. Can you assist related to this or …

I have looked through the DMOZ directory, and have found the category my company should be listed in. I have submitted our site numerous times over the last several years with no response or addition into the directory. I am positive I am submitting into the correct category. One thing that I noticed differently on this category is become an editor is grayed out. I think this means that they have enough editors for this category. However nothing gets approved, which it clearly should based off the other companies listed. Any suggestions that would help?

Hi everyone, I have two professional web site, the first one was accepted on DMOZ the other one not. My problem is that Google uses as a meta description the one which is listed for the one which is not. Maybe because the url is somehow similar (they both have my last name in it). It is a real problem for me because those two web site correspond to two activites completely different. Doese any one have a suggestion? in advance thank you

Dear users, my website is on DMOZ for over three months and it is indexed as we can see when we google [ourwebsite.com dmoz], but it is not shown as a backlink in SEO Spyglass, Google Search Console or anywhere else. Our website has no penalty and other websites in the same dmoz category don't get a backlink from dmoz either. Our website and all of our backlinks are indexed very well, the only problem seems to be dmoz. What can be the problem and how can I fix it? Kind regards.

Hi there, I understand the purpose of DMOZ, ie it is for surfers, and not to service website owners. I understand that it is run by volunteers, who will look at websites and list them based on merit, with the description they deem to be appropriate. I understand why this may not necessarily be the same as the website owners priorities. I understand that you never remove a website once listed, unless it disappears. However, I submitted my site many years ago (5, 6) with my own description, and was delighted to be added, and my description be used as I had submitted it. Since then I have a website theme that allows me to set a meta description for my site, which I have …

Hi, I have a big problem with the reset of a new password. My editor registered email address is at Yahoo.com which rejects messages from DMOZ so I can't receive the reply from it. Therefore I need your help but, please, send me the password reset link from another mail system which has spf and dkim. Or you may request another editor email address which works with DMOZ (I have one with Google.com). Thanks for your time. MINDSPRING

Hello ODP community, I am new to the forums but look forward to involvement with the ODP. I currently work for the vaping industry that is becoming popular quite fast. During the begin of this industry product where mostly exclusive to devices that contained nicotine to replace smoking aka electronic cigarettes. As the industry has evolved so has the terminology. Most Vapers do not want there product classified as a tobacco product as it does not contain tobacco. On the same note; vaping is not smoking and should not be categorized as such. The 3 categories you can find vaping related sites are as follows: Shopping: Tobacco: Cigarettes: Electronic Ci…

My issue is not that uncommon, so I I feel I have to apologize for asking this .... but... I am not sure if the Reinstallment instructions apply in my case. I need to edit information on a couple of websites I submitted quite a while ago. And I have lost all account information. What I believed to be the email I used for registration is apparently not the one. Is there a way to restore account details in this case or would it be better to register a new account, just to amend the information on an existing website that is already in DMOZ? I'd be really grateful if someone could point me to a way to restore my account details!
