A Quick Introduction to the Nomoz Web Directory Project
Dmoz Problems and The Nomoz Project:
The Nomoz.org web directory project came to life as a direct response to all the frustrations and complaints by webmasters and site owners regarding the Open Directory project (ODP), better known as The Dmoz.org web directory. The Dmoz web directory is one of the most important Directories on the web. When Webmasters try to get their websites listed at Dmoz they are faced with a multitude of obstacles that lead to frustrations and contempt for the project and all those associated with it. Some of the major problems with Dmoz can be summarized as follows:
For the above reasons and many others (too many to list here), we've decided to take the bull by the horn (so to speak), and try to come up with a solution for all the problems above. We didn't need to start from scratch. We decided to take the open data from Dmoz, and roll out a new directory that is fair and equitable to all, while keeping in mind that webmasters are the Internet's most important resource. We are giving them control over their listings. To curb SPAM and abuse of the new directory, we've instituted a fee based submissions, This will help in eliminating abuse (SPAM). Legitimate webmasters who aim to market their businesses, should not have any problems with our small fee. This fee will also serve to keep the directory healthy by provide for future development and help recover the costs of maintaining the directory. Our ultimate goal is to completely revamp the current data in the directory, including titles and descriptions, and also to remove all links that are no longer online, drastically changed or have simply been stuffed where they do not belong. We're also giving webmasters the ability to edit their listings anytime they like. This will translate into a more accurate and usable directory. We hope that Nomoz will be quickly accepted as the new and better alternative to the old and highly controversial Open Directory Project. Please note: We are not affiliated with the Open Directory Project (ODP) nor with its parent companies (Netscape, AOL). The Nomoz web directory is an independent project that aims to refine and improve the existing directory data with direct input from Webmasters instead of relying on "volunteer" editors who may have ulterior motives that usually leads to abuse due to conflict of interests.
