Submitting your website to an open network directory (http://www.dmoz.org) is an extremely important step in website promotion. This is because there are many very important search engines and online portals that use DMOZ search results as their own search results. As one of the largest web directories on the Internet, DMOZ is not like Google and other search engines to use automatic search program to index and edit the site, and its browse catalog of the editing work is done by manual. Therefore, when submitting your website to DMOZ, to ensure that the site is included, you should pay attention to the following matters:

1. Ensure that the site content submitted is original and not reproduced, mirror or copy

If your site content is just some affiliate links, or other site content cloning, then your submission is very likely to be DMOZ rejected. DMOZ is not included in those reprinted, mirror image or copy site. For the site included, once found that they are mirror image, copy or not original, DMOZ will also be removed. So if your site is really about affiliate products, you can add some information or additional information to your site. So DMOZ's editors will think your site offers at least some original content.
