The directory is updates once in a while. So yes you will find sites in DMOZ that are not in the directory until it's updated.

Well, thats good news then in that at least im now in DMOZ by hook or by crook, even though i didnt submit anywhere close to the category ive found myself in Just by coincidence i discovered it via a link: search of the new msn beta search.

http://www.potn.com/ is listed within http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Vehicles/P..._Merchandise/P/ and has been for less than a month. It would appear to have been stumbled across and simply reviewied and added. Submissions are only one way that sites are found and added.

I would suggest that you also submit to the UK part of the directory as it appears that it is where you are based and serving. You could try somewhere like: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Uni...Motoring/Parts/

Shopping is a busy part of the directory so definately don't hold your breathe but hey... you have nothing to loose

That was the surprise, i submitted to regional one, not holding breath and then wham all of a sudden i found i was getting backlinks from people who use dmoz data.

I put 2 and 2 together and smiled

Hi Buster,

Is their a limit to how many different areas you are allowed to submit to? I thought you can only submit to your selected area and possibly the geographic area? Are you allowed to submit to different categories if your site is also falling under that category?

Thanks

Generally we say 'single' most relevant category however we make an exception with sites that have a local interest and therefore welcome submissions to the regional.

That is really all that I can recommend. Any decision to list in additional categories would be made internally and I would advise against submitting to anymore that once in regional and once in topical.

Hi Buster- what about web portals with lots of categories?

e.g.

www. theportal .com \ computers

www. theportal .com \ business

www. theportal .com \ fashion

www. theportal .com \ search

what would you suggest? to try and submit a wide one for the organic url or to aim each sub-folder into its most single relevant category?

thanks,
aka rizla
