In reply to Colleen. Oddly enough I just checked the links to one of my sites earlier. It had 4 DMOZ links to it. I have no idea how that happened. I started it last fall, so keep trying.

JR,
Use a backlink checking tool to monitor the progress of inbound links.

Else if you have a specific sentence in the article, you can use copyscape.com to check up on it.

Truth be told, I haven’t submitted my blog to DMOZ.

I’ve heard that they are majorly backlogged.

Shoemoney did an interview with them a few months back over at webmasterradio.fm.

If you are interested in directories, but have little time (or patience) to do it, you can get someone on Digital Point, the Warrior forum or one of the other big forums to do it for you.

I’d probably pay a maximum of $50, depending on the number of directories they were submitting to.

Do check that your blog submission has been accepted.

I don’t know of anyone who has been able to get into DMOZ in the past year. I always tell people to submit there, but it seems as they’re not reviewing or adding blogs right now…despite announcing they were open for business a few months ago.

Thanks Andrew,

This is something that I have not done very aggressively. Other than Technorati I have not listed my blogs on too many directories. It is something easy to overlook.
