I just accidentally discovered in the statistics that a visitor from France visited our company's website, www.zjjred.com (Zhangjiajie Red Tourism Network) from the link address http://editors.dmoz.org/editors/editunrev2.cgi ), and when I looked carefully it was dmoz, haha. At that time, I thought that the website should be included in Dmoz. I checked it immediately and sure enough, as I expected, the website had been included in the Hunan/Tourism category. I was happy, but also Share with everyone your thoughts on the collection. First, let’s get to know Dmoz first.
1. Introduction to Dmoz directory:
Dmoz is a manually edited directory index search engine. Its editors are volunteers from all over the world. Currently, the number of volunteer editors has reached tens of thousands. In addition to providing search services independently, Dmoz also provides major directory search services for many portals and search engines including AOL Search, Netscape Search, Google, Lycos, DirectHit, HotBot, etc.
Dmoz is affiliated to Netscape Communications Company. It has a small number of employees, who are responsible for the guidance of manual editors, team expansion and management, and system engineering research and development. Dmoz first adopted the method of autonomous adjustment and independent operation of online communities. Through an autonomous management system, Dmoz's volunteer editors manage the growth and expansion of the catalog, ensuring high-level quality through a monitoring and balancing system.
Essentially, Dmoz is a collection of directories on the Internet, not a search engine. Although it also provides search queries, the purpose of Dmoz is to catalog the website and does not provide website ranking, upgrade or optimization for search engines. Dmoz is only a data provider. Search engines that reference Dmoz data, such as AOL, Netscape and Google, have their own search functions. Dmoz does not affect the search query process of these search engines.
Dmoz is a 100% free search engine. Whether you submit a website or use data, it is free of charge. Anyone can download or use the data provided by Dmoz. Likewise, there are no paid directories and website submissions at Dmoz.
2. Benefits of being successfully included in Dmoz:
Dmoz is the authority on global web directories, providing major directory search services for many portals and search engines including Google, AOL, Netscape, Lycos, DirectHit, HotBot, etc. It is also an important reference for search engine ranking algorithms such as Google. Under the same conditions, if A and B are included in Dmoz and B is not included, then the ranking of these two websites in Google will be much higher than that of B. Therefore, regardless of whether it is SEO Either the webmaster or the website administrator will try their best to get included by Dmoz.
As long as your website is added to the index directory by Dmoz, it will also be displayed in other search engines. Google's directory search results use Dmoz directly. Search engines and other directory indexes that use the Dmoz database also have their own adjustment algorithms, but public opinion believes that the ranking of websites included in Dmoz will be improved in these search engines. This phenomenon is especially inclined to search engines that focus on link popularity, such as Google. .
Joining Dmoz will also result in hundreds of links pointing to your site from other directories or search engines. Because search engines and directories recognize the value of your site, your site's ranking in search engines will increase. Why wouldn't that be the case? If two hundred people told you to go to a certain store to buy something, you would definitely consider that store very seriously, right?
3.Dmoz website login information:
1: Do not submit mirror websites. Although the content of the mirror websites is the same, the URL addresses are different.
2: Do not submit URLs that are the same or similar to the included content, as this will be inconvenient for users. Submitting large numbers of sites repeatedly with the same or similar content may result in the elimination or deletion of these or all related sites.
3: Don’t hide and submit the same URL repeatedly.
4: Do not submit websites with multiple addresses.
5:Dmoz refuses to accept any website with illegal content. These illegal contents include pornographic descriptions and defamation that are not suitable for children; contents that infringe on intellectual property rights; contents that advocate, launch or incite illegal activities (such as fraud, violence), etc.
6: Do not submit a website that is being updated. You can submit it after the update is completed. Websites that are incomplete, show "Updating" or contain invalid images, bad links are not suitable for submission to the directory.
7: Websites with pornographic content must be submitted to the corresponding adult directory.
8: Non-English websites must be submitted to the corresponding language directory.
9: Don’t submit websites that contain a lot of affiliate links.
10: Please use Traditional Chinese format when submitting. Why? Haha, of course it makes sense.
4. ODP/Dmoz login submission steps:
Step 1: Check on the homepage of the open directory www.dmoz.org whether the website to be submitted has been included. This will save time for both parties.
Step 2: Choose the most suitable directory for submission. There are a huge number of optional topics in the open directory. Carefully choose the most appropriate directory for submission. Sites submitted under inappropriate or irrelevant directories will be rejected or removed.
Note: Some directories do not have "Add URL" or "Update URL" prompt links, which means these directories do not accept submissions. You can choose other related directories for submission.
Step 3: Once you have selected the most appropriate directory, go to www.dmoz.org and click "Add URL". Complete the submission in the order prompted. The website description is for the website content and should be concise, accurate and not exaggerated. Submitted websites containing non-objective exaggerated descriptions will be delayed or refused inclusion. Automatic submission software is different from this step. If a website submitted through automatic submission is deleted after being included, you will not receive any prompt notification.
5. Follow-up work for Dmoz website login:
After submission, Dmoz editors will review your website to decide whether to include it in the end. There are many factors involved in determining inclusion, such as the number of submissions, etc. This will take approximately a few weeks or longer. Let me remind you again that you can only submit one URL at a time. Multiple submissions to the same or related websites may result in rejection or deletion; hiding or multiple submissions to the same URL are not allowed.
If the submitted website is still not displayed after three weeks, you can try to submit again or send an email to the editor responsible for submitting the directory to find out the situation.
Find the directory under the included website and fill in the "Update URL" form to change the title, description, etc. of the included website or web page. If you want to change the directory where the website is located, you can send an email to the editor stating the reason for the change.
After a website is included in Dmoz, it will usually be listed on partner websites that jointly use the Dmoz database, such as Google, AOL, DirectHit, HotBot, Lycos, Netscape, etc., 2 weeks or a few months later. Dmoz updates data once a week, but partners have their own update rules.
6. To summarize:
Whether it can be successfully included in Dmoz is not the responsibility of Dmoz, because Dmoz is completely free and includes the best websites in the world based on the principles of fairness and justice. So you have to start with the most basic content of your website. The content should be rich and healthy. The website should be updated frequently and try not to have dead links. The page should be as beautiful as possible. The navigation should be clear. Or your website should have a lot of original, unique and precious information. Content, so that it provides some unique content for this category of topics, is also a website that Dmoz likes to include. Finally, if the website is under construction, there is no need to waste the time of both parties to submit your website to Dmoz, because it is impossible for such a website to be included. It is not too late to submit it for inclusion after it is completed.
