DMOZ requirements

1. Ensure that the website content is original, not reprinted, mirrored, or copied.
If your website contains only some membership product/service information and links, or a large number of copies of other website content, your website may be rejected by DMOZ. DMOZ removes images, copies, or non-original images from directories even if they are already indexed. Therefore, you must add original product or service introduction information to your website.

2. Do not use false, cheating, or exaggerated means
Search robots are also banned from directory editing. The following sections detail what is search engine cheating. Any false or exaggerated text in the website description will be rejected. Illegal content is not included.

3. Ensure the good appearance of the website
If a website contains a large number of misspelled characters, dead links, or "under construction", or the download speed is slow, it will hinder the editing of your website. In addition, there are very few opportunities for websites from free hosts to be indexed by DMOZ.

4. Ensure that the website contains specific contact information
A DMOZ editor said that if he could not find the actual contact address or phone number on the website, he would think the website was not credible. Therefore, if your website has only one Email address as the contact information, it is extremely unfavorable for the successful recording.

5. Make sure that the website is submitted to the correct directory.
Selecting appropriate category directories and subdirectories is the core of website submission. Many website logon failures are caused by incorrect directories. Therefore, before submitting a website, you must first browse the entire directory. It is best to know which Directory the competitor's website is located. After confirmation, click "submit webpage" in the upper-right corner of the directory page ".

6. Write down the submission date, directory name, and edit email address
After submitting your website to ODP, write down the submission date and directory. If the submitted directory contains the editor information, you 'd better remember the edited name and email. This information is useful when you need to query the processing status of the submitted website or submit the website again.

7. Do not submit the website multiple times
Because editing is performed based on the order of website submission dates, many websites in a directory are waiting for approval in the queue. From successful submission to final recording, it may take up to two weeks, or even half a year later. Therefore, you need to wait patiently for the results. If the website is very large and has many different content branches, you can try to submit different content webpages to the corresponding directories in DMOZ.
