Best tip is to read their guidelines most don't and get declined for these factors, one of my sites took six months at least to get listed.

I don't think there would be anyone in the world that can tell you the secret of being listed in dmoz. May be only the owner of dmoz can be certain of its listing to be get approved. I have submitted my website several times in dmoz but could not get it listed and I guess it is the case with more than 90% of the people who have tried to submit their site on dmoz.

One of the thing you have to consider - if your prospective section doesn't have en editor... well you might wait for ages. I tried to submit site once. Neither that section not the section above and above had editors. I suppose I could resubmit afterseveral years of waiting but the situation didn't change...

Thats all you can do. Doing anything more than submitting once to the one best category will be counterproductive.

All you have to do is:
1. Have a site that is worthy of being listed. It has to be better and have information that the sites listed do not already have.
2. Write a perfect guideline compliant title and descriptin - this may get an editors attention sonner in the cesspool of keyword stuffed title and descriptions.
3. Submit once to the one best category. Submitting more than once or to more than one category will hurt you
4. Move on and forget about it as there is NOTHING more you can do. Do not submit again. Do not email the editor.

When an editor choses to work on a category and decides that they want to add sites they have numerous places to go to look for more sites. The pool of suggested sites is just one source (the worst source) that they may or may not use.

It takes very long time to approve submission & even then it hardly approves. My 5 sites are still pending for approval. I think they only approves paid listings.

I got a response from the Editor of dmoz in 6 weeks, there is a clever way of getting approved very quickly, the clue is to study all the pages you click from until you arrive where you want to be listed then study that page thoroughly before submitting.

Hi,

I did it in your way. First time I added my weather site about 1 year ago, but didnt get any response. Maybe this time it works:)

DMOZ, also known as the Open Directory Project or ODP for short, is essentially a web directory much like Yahoo's except that it is maintained by a community of volunteer editors. Getting into DMOZ will increase your page rank but I've found that page rank matters very little to the actual search rankings.
