What is Dmoz Directory (ODP )?
The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory on the web. It is owned by "Time Warner" and constructed and maintained by a vast, global community of volunteer editors, and is truly unique in many ways. The Open Directory, also known as DMOZ (the domain name of ODP), is a large, categorized directory of websites and pages, which is staffed by volunteers. Every website and page that is added to the directory has to be manually reviewed before it is included. |

Since its index is manually constructed and edited, categorization and relevancy is superior to any other index of its kind and equally as unique, is the fact that this data is open and free to the public for replication. As of July 2005, ODP had about 4.6 million listings organized into over 580,000 categories derived from the contributions of some 69,000 editors..
Submitshop Dmoz Listing Checker allows you to quickly find out if your website listed in the DMOZ directory, (also known as the Open Directory Project, or ODP).
The DMOZ directory, (ODP directory), is important to SEO, as many of the top search engines use the DMOZ listings as their directory listings, or as part of their search engine listings. |
