Submitting to DMOZ

#1

Post by mschenkel » Thu, Feb 25, 2016, 1:43 AM UTC

I am trying to submit my site to DMOZ. After following all the instructions on https://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/add.html I click the "suggest URL" link on the main page. Low and behold, it returns me back to the page I started on.

Surely I must be missing something.... Or is DMOZ more or less dead and no longer taking new sites?

Assuming you're doing this for SEO purposes in which case I would say honestly don't bother. As someone who managed SEO campaigns for years for Fortune 500 types I assure you that you're wasting your time with it.

What do you recommend then?

Dmoz doesn't really add new sites these days...

Unless you can find an editor for the category you're trying to submit too.
