Thread: The attitude of DMOZ

Do you guys believe the way that DMOZ editors are conducting themselves in is justified?

I have been banned from the DMOZ forum because of this

I also want to drop this subject.

I have never even tried to get listed in DMOZ. Does it really make that big of a difference in the serps? With all the controversy and rumors surrounding it, I would think that it will end up making Google place less emphasis on it. Google is selling stock, who wants to buy stock associated with corruption?

Who even uses dmoz except people that are REALLY into the internet? I mean really, most of my clients can't even tell me what search engine they found me on. 90% of my clients are barely computer literate but know how to use that "search thingy".

I know nothing about DMOZ, but I know a whole lot about business and the reputation that is starting about them is not going to put them at the top!

Even though DMOZ is not being used a lot itself, it's results appear in the Google directory which does impact rankings depending on how you are listed.

If you have enough backlinks you can still overpwer someone with a DMOZ listing can't you?

Absolutely!

But the DMOZ lising will boost you and that is what gives DMOZ and it's editors a lot of power.

Hell with'em. I am banning them from using my sites in there directory! I absolutley hate clicky groups like that. Whatch'em fall. You can't run a business like that. The word will get out eventually.

I am going to just try and keep about a 10,000 link jump on my competition so that if they get a DMOZ listing I will still out rank them!
