The Open Directory Project web directory is a volunteer edited directory that charges webmasters no fee to have their website reviewed and listed online. Open Directory Project is one of the largest, most comprehensive directories online. The conditions of being listed are mostly more enforced than many paid directories, but Dmoz is volunteer edited, which leaves it open to abuses. Being listed on the ODP can also take a very long time, which prompts many webmasters to volunteer and add their own website (becoming an editor can also be a challenge).

• "Become an Editor to be Listed" Review submitted by "JC" from USA
  Waiting to be listed takes forever, which is understandable as the editors get NO payments at all to do the work they do. After becoming an editor (and being listed) I got a better understanding of an editor's frustrations!. Webmasters are either very lazy or very stupid. They take no time to read the Dmoz requirements, filling their titles with keyword spam, writing hyped up sales descriptions, and submitting them to the wrong categories!. If you have a good quality site, submit it to the right category, use the correct title, and write a good description you will have a much better chance of being listed.
  It's not the only web directory on the block though. Webmasters get to hung up about being listed on Dmoz. Submit your site and get on with promoting your site elsewhere!.
