The
Open Directory Add URL - The Open Directory is a
human edited directory, meaning that all sites listed in the
directory are reviewed by human editors. The editors have no
control over individual category rankings they simply let
you know if you are in or out. How one achieves a high
ranking is a secret .
Getting listed in the Open Directory is crucial. Their
results power many of the major search engines on the web.
Before submitting your site, you should find the categories
where you want your site to be listed. Be aware that each
page in your site can be submitted to only one category in
the Open Directory.
Submission Times - Because this is volunteer based
editing and inclusion it can take up to 8 weeks to get
listed in the The Open Directory. You may be rejected by the
category editor without explanation, but a common cause is
that you may not offer unique content to the topic.
The thing to remember is that you must have suitable URL
content and be engineered to beat your competition within
The Open Directory before you register your pages.
Search engines that receive content from The Open
Directory are as follows:
AllTheWeb
Google
AltaVista
HotBot
Lycos
Netscape
