DMOZ Directory
-
Have not hear much good about DMOZ lately. Is this listing worth anything?
-
Thats a good idea, in that way we can remove competitor out as well and also notify DMOZ editors as well. But, according to me, they get a notification when the site is dead and there are some hosting or domain issues with the site
-
thanks. looks like this category has no dedicated editor. perhaps why there have been no new additions
-
In categories that have a dedicated editor, their name and link to their profile is usually shown where it currently says "volunteer to edit this category".
-
where does on look to find out how to contact the editor for the section in question? The section of dmoz is dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/Canada/British_Columbia/Localities/C/Courtenay/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/ but I do not see any link to contact the editor.
-
Yes, it's still worth it. Got listed a month ago. In addition to the listing, I've now got links from 50+ other sites that scrape dmoz. I'm sure those 50 don't do much, but I did get a noticeable bump.
I submitted it and then 5 days later I contacted the editor and let him know that two sites that were listed in the category were now dead. He removed them and added mine.
-
I have had the same experiences. First time submitted and waited a year and nothing. Re-submitted and after another 6 months nothing. I had heard the link one gets (assuming one gets one) has been devalued
-
Yes.... and good luck getting on it.
I've been waiting near 6 months for three submissions to be added (all different categories as well).
-
If you can get on it its worth it.....I think all the admins died and went to hell nobody will update my listing with the correct business name FML

Is it OK to disavow directory submissions?
I'm currently working on a website that has had a load of spammy links built in the past. From what I can see, it would be most efficient and effective to disavow everything that's there as all work performed previously is low quality, except for some local directory submissions. These local directory submissions are likely "no follow" and therefore, I'm wondering is it OK to disavow everything including these local directory submissions, seeing they are no follow anyway?

This directory looks great - would you agree?
I know people have mixed feelings towards submitting their sites to directories, but this one really seemed special, so I decided to share the opportunity with the Moz community, as well as open up a discussion on the value of being a part of this directory (and similar ones.) We recently submitted our site to Dial a Human (www.dialahuman.com) It is a directory of companies' phone numbers, which go directly to a person (bypassing the machines.) I think this directory actually does provide users with value, and is far from your typical link farm. The Page Authority is 56 and the Domain Authority is 47, and it is a PR5 site. The other companies listed are all extremely reputable (most of them are fortune 500 companies.) The fee to join is $75-$150, but to be included with this group of companies, we felt it was very worthwhile. We would join this type of directory over and over again. Would you? If you have any other directories which are of the same caliber please share!

Paid Directory Value
Hi All! Recently we scaled back the number of paid directories that we use for our clients, mainly due to them being devalued. To select which directories made the cut, we looked at things like Domain Authority, Page Rank, and Trust; all of the things you're supposed to be looking for in a quality link. We even used the list of directories here on SEOmoz as a reference. Two of the directories we use are Yahoo and BOTW, both of which seem to draw the ire of many professionals here. Is there something I'm missing? If these directories have solid numbers, why such backlash towards them? I appreciate any insight you can give me! Frank

Low page rank directories but high domain authority?
I just paid someone to submit me to a few directories and I saw were I was listed on one of them today. The url page authority of where I was listed was a "1" with zero moz trust and zero moz authority. The root domain authority is a "69". Is page authority or domain authority the most important for links? I believe all the directories I was submitted to have url page authority of "1". ( I watched a video yesterday and I think the head guy said that page authority was most important but I am not sure.

Where to find specialized directories
I'm looking to find some specialized directories, as I assist with a laboratory robotics group. These can be paid (actually preferred for now) or free. I know that seomoz has a helpful list of directories, but I was wondering if anyone else knows of a good place to find specialized directories like this. Thanks.
