DMOZ Turns 10 (DMOZ Blog)

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:25:00 GMT

For the last several months, I've been reflecting on what the 10th anniversary of DMOZ actually means. DMOZ is fundamentally the same site it was in 1998. In the social media landscape we're the old timer's with wisdom and tons of life lessons learned. But is that to say its day has come and gone? Absolutely not, and I don't just say that because I've spent the last nine of the past ten years keeping...

Thu, 08 May 2008 09:10:00 GMT

Isn't that awesome! We would like to thank to the good folks over at ISEDB.com for the love they sent our way in their post on 'How To Optimize For Google.' A great piece that takes a holistic look at optimizing for search engines and today's this portion spoke to all the types of webmaster tools-including directories that are available. Not that I'm biased, but I think we can all agree that the most...

Who knew? (DMOZ Blog)

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Anyone here from ? Perhaps Montserrat or the Cook Islands ? Reason why I ask is that the DMOZ team was amazed to see the global reach of our audience. In February, we saw visitors from 200+ countries to DMOZ.org. Not a misprint...200+. That's huge! Everything from heavily industrialized nations to protectorates on far reaches of the Earth with populations of less than 1200 people. The usual & expected...

Team DMOZ (DMOZ Blog)

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 15:19:00 GMT

As a follow up to our last post and as a chance to continue allowing our editors the chance to share their experiences with the world at large, here is a post that came to us from a fairly new member of the editorial community. Unlike the previous post about why folks join, this speaks to a perception of DMOZ/ODP as a group of elitist few or a tribe of warring editors. A popular mis-conception that...

I ( heart ) DMOZ...Why I Joined And Why I Love It (DMOZ Blog)

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 16:22:00 GMT

The background to me applying was simple. I have written a few websites over the last two or three years and of course during this time I had come across the ODP. The actual idea of many people from around the world coming together in a huge community really intrigued me and over time I decided that I wanted to become part of that community and try to be involved in making the Internet a better place....

What Topic Do You Care About? (DMOZ Blog)

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 17:30:00 GMT

Over the history of the project, DMOZ has had more than 70,000 volunteer editors worldwide. On average, there are approximately 6,000 active editor accounts at any given time. What's impressive (at least to me) is that we do this out of a pure sense of giving back to the Internet Community. Editors take the time to organize and create useful resources in categories and topics that are of interest...

Why Hasn't My Site Been Accepted Into DMOZ? (DMOZ Blog)

Mon, 08 Oct 2007 16:39:00 GMT

As the numerous responses to my first post show, this is one of the most common and controversial questions asked about DMOZ. To answer this question, it is important to consider what DMOZ isn't. DMOZ is not set up as a listing service for site owners. Site submissions are only one source for finding quality sites to add to the directory. Some editors choose to review submissions while other editors...

The Search For DMOZ (DMOZ Blog)

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 21:01:00 GMT

Yesterday the internet was all a flutter with reports and wide ranging theories as to why searches for "DMOZ" in Google were not returning the usual results. If you happened to miss those, I've included a couple of examples that can be found here , here , here and here . While these made for great headlines and no shortage of comments and link backs...they were 100% off the mark. Truth is, this is...
