DMOZ: Open to business again

DMOZ-the open directory project is open to business again.

Will the search engine professionals try DMOZ again?

It's possible to happen that search engine professionals will try DMOZ again. Who knows there might be new features now compared before. I think DMOZ improvement is for the better.

I guess it is time to re-submit sites again to DMOZ for some of our clients and a couple of our own sites.

I'm glad you posted about the DMOZ being open again. I didn't know they were closed. I guess that could be why my site was accepted. How long were they closed and do we know why they were closed?

DMOZ was closed to submissions for a few months due to a problem on the backend. They are open for submissions again but if you've already submitted prior then it shouldn't be necessary to resubmit.

Are we allowed to submit blogs to the DMOZ? I've never tried to and was wondering if anyone here knows. I've no idea if they consider blogs as websites or not. Some people and companies do.

I think I submitted my site the first day the DMOZ was open again for submissions and haven't heard anything or seen my site listed. I think they're still very backlogged as far as adding new sites. I've heard folks are finally starting to appear that requested before the site went down onto backup servers. For us that missed getting in before then, I guess we just have to wait....
