DMOZ is bizarre. I have a relatively significant site which DMOZ does not list. I submitted a few times and back when they had a forum to discuss it, I asked why my site was still not listed.
DMOZ said that in the category that I was going for, they would not accept subscription sites. I answered:
- there were 19 sites in that directory at the time, 7 were paid subscription sites.
- That as a policy, I felt paid sites for kids were much better since they were advertising free (and I think my six year old deserves her education without a commercial message).
The DMOZ guy who was in charge of my category told me that "that's your opinion" and now, after five years, I'm now number one in google for dozens of categories, a multimillion dollar business, and serving thousands of children. And DMOZ still doesn't list me. DMOZ is a series of corrupt little fiefdoms. Forget them.
