DMOZ Cool Site Award
SEO Dave
Got an email from a DMOZ editor informing me one of my sites got a
DMOZ Cool Sites Award.
The entry-
http://dmoz.org/Arts/Literature/World_Literature/American/19th_Century/Twain,_Mark/
My sites the first one with the yellow star-
http://mark-twain.classic-literature.co.uk/
My first cool site award :-))
Not bad on the speed of inclusion either, I submitted it less than a
week ago!

Congrats! I didn't know DMOZ handed out an award - at least none of
the sites in any categories I look at ever have a site with a yellow
star like yours does.
If handed out at time of submission then I am 3 years too late for one
for any of my sites. *sniffle* *chuckle*

Mark Twain tops the list, on my side, of favorite authors. It was this
story, listed on your site, that first hooked me onto his writings:
http://mark-twain.classic-literature.co.uk/a-dogs-tale/
I would blame him for inspiring some of my humor - but I cannot; way
too corny of humor at times over here so I blame the cornfields that
used to line the backyard of my childhood home instead. ;)

to-do list?

That is cool!!! I didn't know that star meant cool site award. I thought it
was editor's pick or something. Wow, that is real neat Dave!

That is amazing there! That is almost a record.

I didn't know they had a cool site award either, now I've checked a
few dozen cats you do see the odd yellow star.
BTW Good call on adding Mark Twain, thanks Stacey :-))
Any other author suggestions?

I was pleasantly surprised at the speed, I submitted it a couple of
days before finishing the site since it tends to take months for a
review. So I listed it as complete works before it was since I knew it
would be complete works by the time you'd expect a review. If it had
been reviewed a few days earlier it wasn't quite complete (won't do
that again :-)).
Checked the editors profile and he/she has won several DMOZ awards, so
there are some editors on the ball.

Ah, gee 'twas good luck that's all. :-)

Not, yet, but will keep you in mind if I come up with one. :-)

Short of asking DMOZ, do you know if there's a way of seeing if a
submission has been considered but refused?

Hi Andy,
You need to wait. Ask after a month or so. I know it is real frustrating
waiting with new sites. Just get busy getting links from other sources(well
indexed sites) and see how it looks in a month or so. There are a few sites
out there that would exchange links with you. Check artist supplies, etc.

Yep, ta. I've been busy doing that whilst also checking my pages against
advice regarding keywords etc.
What's really frustrating is that a hobby website I set up about 8 years
ago still turns up in searches even though that site has been effectively
dead for three years (though I apparently never took it down) :)

This is a little off topic but my site has been listed in DMOZ for years,
but I place way down on my keywords. However, I do pretty well with the same
keywords on Google and Yahoo.
Does anyone know why DMOZ would burry me while Yahoo and Google are nice to
me?
Thanks a lot,

I'm very new at this keywords thing but as I understand it, DMOZ uses only
the title and description submitted/edited for its keywords while Google
indexes the page content. I don't know what Yahoo do.
