How to get into directories that uses dmoz?

Submit again and again?

[silverbytes]

My site is listed in dmoz in 1 category. Competitor's sites are listed many times in dmoz in categories I think they shouldn't.
However my site though is in dmoz is not listed in many directories that uses dmoz and my competitor site's are listed there.

So when I see those directories and try to get listed there the submtit to dmoz method appears

Should I submit again to new categories (which I think is against guidelines)?
How do I get into all those directories?

The ODP clones pull data from ODP whenever they feel like it so ya just have to wait. These is no schedule when these partners update their data and they are free to do it (or not) at their convenience.

For the second part of the question: Resubmitting to DMOZ is not needed if the site is already apropriately listed there.

Many downstream users of ODP data update very irregularly, if at all. There are some ODP clones out there that last updated back in 2000 or 2001 and their directory is now completely worthless.

Write to any such site that you find with really old data and tell them to get a new copy from [rdf.dmoz.org...] for free. The RDF is produced about weekly and has been error free for many months.

The RDF download location changed late last year, so some users may have lost track of where to get the file from. Additionally, in late 2003, and early 2004, there were a lot of encoding errors in the data while a big project to convert all of the data over to UTF-8 was in progress. Many months, and a million edits later, that project was successfully completed.

the sites that use dmoz data live will show up your website right away. Those who use dmoz data once and try to build their own directory over it, you have to contact them individually. For those who update from RDF data, you will be there over a period of time. eg Google Directory.
