A Right Royal Contradiction by DMOZ
———————————————
Direct from DMOZ -
“How do I get my site listed in more than one category?
You should submit your site to the single most appropriate category that is directly relevant to your site’s content. Please only submit your site one time. The ODP editors reserve the right to use their editorial discretion to determine which category or categories your site will ultimately be placed.”
This is the statement given by DMOZ on how to get your website listed in it’s world largest and renowed hand edited directory.
So why then (and many website owners will be interested to know this if they have had issues with multiple site submission with DMOZ) does royal.gov.uk have 89 seperate DMOZ listings?
I’ve often seen forum postings by very frustrated website owners who have waited 3 years to get appropriate responses from this organisation!
In this instance there’s no excuse why there’s one rule for the rich and famous and one for the minions!
