Dmoz- deleting dead links - UK Web Hosting | Dedicated Server Windows and Linux VPS Forum

Seems Dmoz is reducing their size as they are deleting the dead links and hence there are good chances to get listed faster as editors are trying to add quality website hostings in different categories and subcategories.

Thanks for the sharing above information Paul. Now i can hope my website hosting (submitted but waiting) will be displayed soon in Dmoz directory.

Dmoz does take a few months for your submission to be finally approved (or declined) so it is quite some wait. Some categories need editors, so categories that aren't large I would presume they would take sometime to get your website hosting listed. I will be trying to become an editor on Dmoz soon, seems very interesting to do.

That's good, my good wishes, I hope our website hostings will be included very fast.

Yes, do we get some "preferential treatment" and expedited listings

Only if one of the DMOZ editors is very well known to you

All the best to Ben for applying for an editor's position on Dmoz

Yeah, really we need a dmoz editor from our community, and get an opportunity to see our website hostings in dmoz.

I'll be trying later today! I think I'll be going for the 'Webmaster' type categories, which suit me best

. Oh, and thanks all for the good lucks!!

I presume it doesn't take too long. I'll probably get a response by tomorrow morning.
