DMOZ submission
-
Has anyone had any experience submitting to DMOZ and waiting times.
The category i've submitted to has only a few links (http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/London/Westminster/Arts_and_Entertainment/)
Yet I submitted the site (www.capitalalist.com) over a month ago!
Can anyone give examples of waiting times, or a way to perhaps get some feedback from DMOZ?
Thanks in advance as always...

I hate to say it, but I'm with Marty. There's just no way to tell, and it's completely dependent on the editor(s) for your niche. Recently, I'm seeing many cases where people get a DMOZ listing and it's so deep in the site that the page isn't even indexed - so they wait months for this "great" link that then passes no link-juice at all. File a good submission and get on with life - that's all you can do, unless you know an editor personally.

From my experience you're looking at an average of 6 months of a wait time. There are some good articles from Dmoz editors on the web on why they decline sites. From what I've read the value of dmoz.org url's is slowly diminishing. The biggest issue is that it also feeds many other search sites.
Hopefully in the future, Google, Yahoo/Bing, Baidu will all but ignore Dmoz.org and sites feeding off it. There are so many reasons why I think this but I don't want to go off topic on you.
Good Luck

Hard to tell...i had i ite that got excepted in a month and other sites took me more then 6 months .. Feedback they dont give you just have to wait..

I've submitted 3 sites over the last 18 months, and all 3 were accepted within 6-12 months.

I've tried submitting various pages, some even authority news sites that have existed for decades (in print, at least...). Nothing has ever been accepted by DMOZ. I'm referring to German DMOZ, but I hear this exactly from every country.
Anybody around that has managed to get a DMOZ entry in the past couple of years?

DMOZ wait times are typically measured in months and/or years, if you ever hear anything. Don't stress about it; move on and cross your fingers!

Link from Dmoz.org
hi, first question on here. Just starting to get into link building and after a day already confused. I'm using the seomoz pro link analyser / open site explorer to look at my sites links against competitors. First up was dmoz.org. great rankings so a great link target, turns out though that I already have one!! Any ideas why it isn't showing up on my linking domains. Is this a seomoz oversight or am i not getting my alloted 'juice' from this domain??

Multiple Dmoz categories?
I'm looking at a competitor who outranks me and I see that some of their top links are several links from different dmoz categories. Is it common practice to get into several dmoz categories? I always thought you could just have your site in there once!
