Google knows DMOZ is tough to get into, because every single website/blog submission is monitored by human reviewers. All the hard work is done by Volunteers, this not only saves money but it removes computer errors. So it means when ever you will submit your site to DMOZ, no matter when happens your site will be reviewed by a volunteer till it gets approved.

If you want to see your site listed in DMOZ, then using software to submit a site is totally against the rules and regulation (Guidance) of DMOZ guideline. You should keep in your mind that, any site submitted with the software would be rejected straight away

Submitting the same website again and again to DMOZ can annoy the volunteer. So don’t over do it, just keep it simple by submitting your site once. After submitting your site, wait for few months to get the desirable results.

6. Avoid copying others Content:

If you site is full of affiliate systems, and your site is overflowing from the content which is copied from somewhere else or any content which violate DMCA copyright law then no matter what happens DMOZ will reject your site submission.

7. The Editors Guidance

Just like choosing the correct category for your website, it’s very vital that you read all thebasics guidance present on DMOZ before submitting your website/blog. If you failed to do so, then it may cost you and your site listing.

8. Looking For Active Category Editor:

Even if you were able to choose the correct category for your site, but if there is no active Editor (Volunteer) available for that category. Then you’re going to wait annoying long time to get your site listed. If  you have noticed, when you are viewing any specific category at DMOZ.com at the very bottom of the page it says Last update: [Day, Month Date, Year Time]. If the category that you are thinking to apply is not updated from couple of years, then it means the editor is maybe not active.

Now in this case you have to choose in between two options. One to apply for editor or second to select the category which is updated on regular basics

9. Get the domain already listed:

The easiest technique to get listed in DMOZ is to buy the domain which is already listed in DMOZ. Sound pretty childish but it is the single shortest way to get listed.
