Yesterday I wrote a blog article suggesting that HubSpot’s Website Grader no longer gives any weight to a website that is listed in the DMOZ directory.
HubSpot’s Dan Zarrella responded to my article with the following:
HubSpot products help customers use and measure internet marketing techniques such as social media, blogging, and search engine optimization. One of their free products is Website Grader… which will review your website (or any website) for its search engine optimization qualities and then give you a report card with suggestions on how to improve the website.
Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes at DMOZ? I kind of assumed that nothing happens there. Why would I make such an assumption?
Have you ever tried to register your website or blog with the DMOZ Open Directory Project? Registration is free and conventional wisdom suggests that you should register your site with them. All I can say about this is good luck!
