Probably you have heard DMOZ before. DMOZ is an open directory project maintained by human moderators. In other words, all the links included in DMOZ is manually accepted by a human being in order to keep quality high.

The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a vast, global community of volunteer editors.

There are nearly 75,000 human editors at DMOZ, nearly 600,000 categories and 4 million included sites. It means if you get your blog into DMOZ, the search engine spiders will find your blog and index it. It is the easiest way to get your site indexed in the search engines. However you may not expect to happen quickly. Also there is no guarantee for that.

Tips For Submitting Your Blog To DMOZ

You should be careful before submitting your blog to DMOZ. There are some requirements for your blog to be accepted into DMOZ. If your blog is a brand new one, chances are it will not be accepted.

1) You need to have some good content in your blog. Suppose that a human moderator from DMOZ visits your page and finds nothing except some links and Google Adsense ads on it. No way out! Don’t expect your blog to accepted by DMOZ if this is the case. You should have at least 20 published articles in your blog. Your blog must be at least 1 month old. Otherwise the human moderator will reject your approval.

2) You should submit to the best category in DMOZ that matches your blog topic. Be careful not to submit for more than one category. This may ban you from ever getting into DMOZ.

The best idea is to select the best category, complete the DMOZ submission process and then walk away. You may check back in a month or so if you made it but other than that leave it alone – it’s simply not worth spending much time on.
