Sabotaging a Competitors DMOZ Listing for Fun & Profit

The Wisdom of Weeding Out the Competitors
It's imperative to join DMOZ and sabotage your competitors. No offense intended, but if you don't join DMOZ you are ignoring a fundamental strategy for promoting your website. Your website's viability depends on you getting into DMOZ and sabotaging every single one of your competitors. If your competitors beat you to the editorship your website will be toast faster than you can say, "Am I homeless yet?"

Another corrupt dmoz editor had this to say on the subject:

"My arch competitor had a dupe content subdomain that they set up for traffic overflow and I changed their dmoz listing to the subdomain with duplicate content and it slaughtered their rankings for a couple of months.

Speaking as someone with 4 years of sabotaging experience, switch their listing from www. to non-www from time-to-time. Switch them from www.example.com to www.example.com/index.html, stuff like that."

Everybody is doing it. You should too!
I don't care if you believe me or not. The economics is enough motivation to make it happen. Here are the most common techniques for sabotaging a competitor:

• Let it be
  
  Let the site sit in the Unreviewed Queue. Don't edit it. Don't touch it. Never click on the link to visit the site. Just pretend it isn't there.
  
• Across the universe
  In the DMOZ editor dashboard you have the option to move the contributed website to a "more appropriate" category. Move it to the lowest level cat you can find, preferably a cat that is not currently edited, and one that has over sixty other websites in it. This cat must be related topically, but not really appropriate. After a year it will probably get bounced to another category and so on, and eventually end up back in your category. Wait six months or a year, then do it again.
  
• The long and winding road
  At some point you have to let in a competitor or two. Butcher the submission. Strip the title of important keywords and replace them with useless variations that nobody searches on. Mutilate the description because the last thing you want is for someone to actually click on it. A short and irrelevant description is the way to go. Don't go overboard. It has to be defensible. When your competitor's website reaches the end of the submission road, he or she will wish they never submitted.

AOL/TimeWarner own DMOZ and they treat it like the dollar chasing b***h it really is. And you should, too. Sabotaging your competitors is not simply about deleting their sites from the categories, but a more subtle and ongoing process of destroying their relevance for important keyword phrases.

You have to do what you have to do. The person who ranks at the top of the search engines sleeps better than the webmaster whose site is on page eighty six of the serps. Sabotaging your competitors is one way to get there.

How to Bribe a DMOZ Editor

When Will My Site Be Accepted?

That's a very good question. The answer is never. The reason is because as a submitter to DMOZ you must get wise to what's going on or get lost. You will not get in. So here are some tips to help you get into DMOZ.

Three Tips for a Successful DMOZ Submission
1: After submitting to DMOZ, contact the editor, tell him/her you have a number of websites related to the category, and would love to exchange links or even throw some one-way inbounds.

2: If you submit to a DMOZ category and are suddenly requested to link to a related website, don't be a dumb ass and assume it's out of the blue. Throw as many links as possible from your entire network at this website. This request likely comes from a DMOZ editor.

3: Be honest with yourself. If your website is lousy, you will not get in until you pay to get in. Well, if your website is decent, don't expect to get in unless you pay to get in.

How to Bribe A DMOZ Editor
Never ever correspond with a DMOZ editor and offer a bribe in writing. A decent DMOZ editor would never accept it. JUST GIVE US THE CASH. Don't be an idiot, just PayPal the cash using the email address that is in your submission. The first step in a successful DMOZ submission is sending cash through Paypal to the DMOZ editor. Then do the actual submission. For a successful submission be sure to submit using the same email address you used in your PayPal payment or the DMOZ editor will never know which website paid for entry.

How Much Should You Pay to Bribe a DMOZ Editor?
That's pretty much a sliding scale. The higher up a category, the less crowded a category is, how much PageRank there is in the category are factored into the price of the bribe. But perhaps the ultimate factor is how much money do you stand to make?

Corruption is Rampant - Get Yours or Get Out

That is the story in a nutshell. I was forced into this position by the liars and hypocrites above me who were corrupt. Now I am corrupt and find that I fit into the DMOZ culture better now than when I was honest.

I'm going to tell you everything I have done. I'm going to give you a blow by blow of every DMOZ inclusion I am paid to make. I will tell you how I shake people down, and punish those who refuse to pay me.

And how I must pay someone above me a cut of everything I take.
