For the development of their site in order to be constantly present in the top of well-known search engines, professionals advise each webmaster to add their projects to directories, for example, a directory from Yandex or DMOZ. This will guarantee the stability of your site, but it will take an effort to successfully navigate to these directories.
It is necessary
Website optimization for adding to the DMOZ catalog
Instructions
Step 1
Before you send your brainchild to such a directory, do not forget that you will need to do a lot of work on the site. Any little thing that the moderator of this resource does not like will cause your application to be rejected. Therefore, first of all, you need to check the site for broken images, links, incorrectly designed pages, etc. Roughly speaking, a general cleaning should be carried out.
Step 2
If you are not optimizing articles for specific queries, try to create them using some keywords that could be in the name of the site or your project. As part of each article, check the correctness of the title and description of the articles (Title and Description fields). Note that the meaning of these fields should be similar to the Title and Description of the fillable registration fields in the catalog.
Step 3
An important role in the application is played by the choice of the category in which, after approval, your site will be located. The wrong choice of category can play a cruel joke, because the editor may think about the inadequacy of the choice. If you are not fluent in English, use online translators. The most common one at the moment is Google Translate
Step 4
Also, when choosing a category, keywords taken from your site will help. Pick a couple of keywords that are most relevant to your site's content and enter them into a search. Select a category from the search results. The category should not necessarily be on the first lines, but not on the last.
Step 5
After choosing a category, you can start adding your site, i.e. fill in empty fields with your data. Please note that your application is not reviewed in a couple of days. The processing time of the application sometimes reaches up to 2 weeks. After this period has expired, it is recommended to view the list of sites in the catalog category you selected again.
