DMOZ Interesting Facts

Spoketh by Greg Niland in SEO

The World category has the most sites and also the most unreviewed sites. 

These categories have more unreviewed sites than listed sites: Adult, Computers, Business, Shopping and Health.  This is probably because these categories are the most likely to be spammed

The categories have the most unreviewed sites (listed in order) #1 World, #2 Business, #3 Regional, #4 Computers  and #5 Arts.  These categories have a lack of editors or high spam or both.

These categories have the most sites (listed in order) #1 World, #2 Regional, #3 Arts, #4  Society and #5 Business.  Kudos to the human DMOZ editors in these categories. 

DMOZ is a huge project and not everything is perfect as I have mentioned earlier.  Before you start complaining about it ask yourself if you have helped the situation or hurt it.  You can help by volunteering.  You can hurt it by submitting your site multiple times with keyword stuffed descriptions.  This increases the work that the human volunteers need to do.  The more work means the bigger the backlog.

Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com has come through again with another big and generous giveaway. GoodKarma is proud to announce the 2006 Las Vegas Pubcon Giveway. We are giving away 3 Full Conference Passes to the Publishers Conference in Las Vegas.  These conference passes cost almost $500 online. As a thank you to the loyal listeners of GoodKarma you have a chance to get to one of the best SEM conferences out there for FREE.

Here is how it is going to work.  Starting October 5th, the GoodKarma Internet Radio Show on Webmasterradio.fm will announce a section of WebmasterWorld.com and a member name. Contestants then need to go to that section, find the title of the thread started by that member and submit their answer along with their contact information (name, company, address, phone, email) via the GoodKarma Contact Form  by the deadline of October 25th. 

You can answer once for each question.  This will give you three chances in our drawing during the show on October 26th from all correct responses.   

Winners need not be listening to the live show to claim their prize.  Conference pass can not be transferred, sold, exchanged or traded. (But who in their right mind would want to miss it?) Remember folks. Three passes. Three clues. One BIG drawing. Three lucky winners. And all because you did the smart thing and tuned into Webmasterradio.fm and the GoodKarma show. Good luck to everyone.
