R.I.P. DMOZ
We used to cherish links from DMOZ like they were some holy grail. It must have been our desire for a high PR link from an authority site, or perhaps the exclusivity (meaning that it was poorly managed and therefore very hard to get your link included.)
It has gotten to the point where getting a DMOZ link is virtually impossible, and not just due to the lazy editors. DMOZ had some serious database errors or something like that, causing lots of data to be lost. You can’t submit and you can’t edit.
And best of all, it shows no signs of improvement! The “unavailable” page has been up for months now, and SEOmoz has given up. I decided to follow suit, I mean, spamming Wikipedia is the cool thing to do anyway ![]()

Hey,
It looks like dmoz is back online. Or so their front page says. Do you know anything about this?
