Ask HN: Is it still relevant to send you website to DMOZ

1 points by fffrad 11y ago ↗ HN

I rarely if ever hear people suggesting dmoz.org anymore. It used to be the craze when I was getting started in web development and SEO

Did dmoz become irrelevant? Do you even go to dmoz ever? Are search engines not considering its weight anymore?

I'm not so sure it's actually irrelevant, however it had been two or three months since I submitted a site that I'm working on, and it hasn't been added yet.

I would vote that it is not relevant. Maybe someone has information that I don't which would sway my view, but I doubt search engines rely on it anymore and nobody uses web directories anymore.
