Hi there,

Am i allowed to submit to more than one dmoz category if my website covers multiple themes. For instance my site has information on driving law, a car games section, jokes, and a driving theory test taker. Can i submit each section to the relevant dmoz category an i have made every effort to make each section as good a resource.

Thanks,

G

No, Not at all

Safest way is to submit to the most relevant and let the editors decide wether to list it in multiples or not.

Thanks, ill take the advice. I noticed that one of my competing sites has got listed in a top level category with PR6 and also the one we are meant to be in (which is pr 4). Do you think this may have slipped past the editors attention? It would be unfortunate if that was the case and someone told them

As far as what I read in various forums and the submission guidelines of DMOZ, you are not allowed to submit the same site in multiple categories. But I saw various sites got listed in various categories, some even under 40 categories. I still dont know how they made it.

The upshot of it is that DMOZ editors really don't care about the submit queue, simply because they know that 95% of the sites there will be auto-submitted crap from hundreds of travel, pharmacy, pr0n, affiliates, mirrors etc etc which don't stand a snowballs chance in a bonfire of getting listed. Of the other 5% 90% of those are most likely in the wrong place anyway.
Some cat editors will go through their queue and clear it out but the majority of editors will find good resources while surfing the internet and add those directly. Far more sites are added this way than ever get submitted. If the editor thinks that the site deserves more categories then they will tell the editor for that cat.
It actually takes much longer to look at a site in the submit queue than it does to add sites from surfing and as the editors are all giving up their own free time to edit just imagine what you would do in the same situation. Free time vs dredging through crap sites?

BTW I'm not a DMOZ editor, but I do know several and I do edit at other directories
