You’ll be surprised what you may find in DMOZ!
Many webmasters ask, what are the true criteria to getting listed in DMOZ?
Well we will venture into some interesting DMOZ stats to find out what they truly like.
Here is a list I found that sorts the top-DMOZ listed sites by number of listings, so let’s see…
If you look at the list closely you may find a few surprises and disappointments, like this one on page 6 rank 2624 with 70 listings…
A pornography site with 70 listings, you may think that’s bad but if you scroll down a bit to 2984, I think you will lose all respect, if you had any, for DMOZ and its system…
Yes, that is right DMOZ believed that a child pornography site deserved not only to be included into directory but to be listed 61 times! I guess in DMOZ’s eyes child pornography was judged 61 times to be completely legal and not at all contradictory to their number one rule, “The Open Directory has a policy against the inclusion of sites with illegal content. Examples of illegal material include child pornography; libel; material that infringes any intellectual property right; and material that specifically advocates, solicits or abets illegal activity (such as fraud or violence).”
So if you still want to get into DMOZ after this, then you know what to do, otherwise just let them dwindle away.
