I finally got a site in the DMOZ!

VT-Football.com Almost after a year when I submited for the first time.

I was thinking the Directory didn't have any editors anymore. But guess they do...

Can you apply to edit a category that you would put your own site in?

awall19 · 06-13-2004, 04:11 PM

yes, but you can't make it seem like that is why you are applying or you will get rejected

thebassman · 06-13-2004, 04:12 PM

Hmmm... what would you suggest disclosing when you apply (or should I even bother?)?

awall19 · 06-13-2004, 04:23 PM

I just get rejected every time I apply, so my advice is probably not the best to take.

normally I get rejected within a day or two at the most, but I applied again about a week ago and still have not got my letter of rejection back...weird.

if you have an interest in the topic I do not think it hurts you to disclose it. i would shy away from sounding like you want to promote your site in DMOZ though.

Ok... I'll give it a try...

I'll report back.

I've tried apply several times too in many different categories but no luck. I think over a dozen times over the past year and tried different ways but no luck so I just gave up on becomming an editor and just submit my site and hope that I would get listed some day. I have several others I've submitted too still waiting...

It would be nice if they would have a way to determine if you are still in pending or have been rejected.
