ODP Web site (DMOZ directory) Submission of considerations

We all know that the new Web site into the ODP (DMOZ directory) generally take a long time, but you know: There are many sites will be included in a very short time, my first day of a website submitted, the next day was included, is my luck good? No no no! Below to tell you how I submitted the site.

1, honest and orderly to write a good site name and site description
Do not idealize the submission of the content according to your wishes to write, remember: This is the people's territory, the person under the eaves, have to head. Website Name must truthfully write the full name of the company or organization, I have seen a lot of irregular web site name, such as "China's largest XXX" "Product 1, product 2, product 3" and so on. Website description must be neutral, as far as possible "modest" point, not too empty, such as "production and export of various agricultural and sideline products." "You should write down the keywords you want to promote, such as" production and export of dehydrated vegetables, water peach and red bayberry canned products. "There is no actual limit to the number of words in the website name, but the website describes the word limit, Chinese is generally within 35 words, English within 30 words."

Editors usually take precedence over these site names and Web site descriptions that are standard, because many editors are easy to do, the work of small, no need to modify the site first to be included, and then spend time to modify those irregular submissions. Although the ODP internal regulations may not arbitrarily delete the website name and the website description does not standardize the website, but there is no rule as to when to finish editing the site, so as long as an editor sees the content of your site not pleasing to the eye, he puts it on the shelf for a long time until he's interested in editing the site. And this one, maybe six months, maybe a year, maybe ... Go to hell!

2. Carefully study the categories to be submitted
attention! Want to be indexed quickly, the greatest learning here. My principle is: when the content is suitable, try to submit to the "living" small category. What is "living"? Is the editor, if the bottom of the page is written with the name of an editor, OK, otherwise, if it says "This category requires an editor" "Apply for editing this category", then it means that the directory is less likely to be patronized by other editors. Here I would also like to stress to submit to the small category, because the editors of the small categories are mostly new, and the new editors have a sense of novelty to the directory editor, often log in to "Patrol" their own categories, a new site submitted, he will immediately edit. Another reason is that the ODP requires new editors to be able to be approved for a superior or other category of editors after they reach a certain amount of web site edits, while small-class sites submit smaller amounts, and new editors who want to mix "place" are usually "desperate".

In fact, a site can submit a lot of categories, such as regional categories (regional), Language line categories (world), industry category. And there are a lot of options in the industry category, take the website of an automobile manufacturer as an example, it can be submitted to the automotive industry category, can also be submitted to a category of production and manufacturing without a subordinate category, or submitted to other search found after the containing "car" category.

There's a little secret, I investigated the editor's activity record before submitting it to a certain category, and found that he often log in, I did not hesitate to think this category submitted the site, and sure enough the next day I analyze the visit log when I found that he visited my site, I went to EDITOR.DMOZ.ORG a check, found that was included, cool!!!
---------------------------------------------
Although the ODP has repeatedly claimed that their editors are obligated to work, they can only edit the site during business hours, so there is not enough time to edit numerous websites in time, which usually takes a long time to collect. That's not the main reason! Many editors don't have time to edit a category, and the real reason is that they are not interested in editing a category or some Web site. Most people are selfish when they apply for an editor, is to include their own site, once the goal is not so active to edit other sites, or some editors with multiple or full directory editing, the category of interest to themselves will be often edited, the other catalogs can only be a superficial ; There is also the abominable phenomenon that some editors, for their own benefit or the interests of their own company, will take the witch-hunt means, I found that in a large category in the Chinese editor of a company to control this category of editorial authority, the site produced by their own company will soon be included, And not by its production of the site will delay included time or even not included, you just go check this category, more than 80% of the site is included by the editor of the company produced, Heaven knows, why so!!!. The number of editors who can actually edit the site more actively and fairly is small, and part of it is to increase editorial volume and climb up the score.
---------------------------------------------

My conclusion is:
* The website name and the specification of the website description are all fundamental.
* Accurate category submission is a guarantee that can be quickly included
The purpose of *ODP (open catalogue) is good, but in fact there is widespread abuse of personal gain.
