I recently applied my site to dmoz and an my submission was hand reviewed in 2 weeks by an editor and I recived a rejection email.

He explained to me why my site why rejected, and I agreed. he told me why is DMOZ one of the best directories

1) its very deep
2) very strict
3) no junk

he explained that if they accepted all submissions, then all the categoires would have thousands of links and be very cluttered. They can only accept the top 5% of the sites for the category.

Despite that, I still feel google should boot dmoz and make a $300 a year directory like yahoo, people will pat

Just submit your site and forget it, check it once every 10 days or so. It is imporant some what as it passes a nice PR, will get you in the google ir, and has your pages inexed much faster. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.
