How To Get A Real Estate Site In DMOZ

1. Go to dmoz.org

2. type in <Clien'ts Main City> real estate agent

3. go to that category . by clicking on a result's category link...

-- http://buyblueridgerealestate.com Regional: North America: United States: Georgia: Localities: B: Blue Ridge: Business and Economy: Real Estate: Residential: Agents (1)

Look at the descriptions the other people used and copy one w/ slight modification..

Generally something like this is fine :

Featuring home search, reports and local information for <city>.

Local agent offers free reports and forms, agent bio and scrolling homes.

(if a broker:)

Local broker offers free home search, reports, forms and local information.

Note: Keep the description of your site brief - no longer than 20 - 25 words.

4. Click 'Suggest URL' link. Its at the top next to 'about dmoz'

5. Enter the title. Never use the city in the title. They think you're trying to keyword pack. If an agent ALWAYS submit like this :

If a broker, then the <OfficeTitle> (the office title should be visible when you visit their homepage or you probably wont get added to their directory - again, dont use the city name in the title of site field.)

Look at how the others in the category have their listing. Don't try to do it differently or you wont get in.

6. Enter description (read above step 3)

7. Enter email. It doesn't matter if it works or not. Use either contact@domain.com or theirname@domain.com better to use theirname@domain.com It needs to LOOK legitimate. Nobody is going to email it though. This is a human editied directory, not a robot checking/verification system/directory, so an email that looks legitimate is more important than a working email.. info@domain.com always works, but looks spammy. Anything you cand do to make your entry look like an ameteur (who follows their rules) added the submission is a plus. Anything that looks like a script added the submission is a big negative.

--------------

Things to remember: If you're not in the right cateogry, you wont get added. This is probably the biggest reason a site doesn't get added. To be sure you're in the right category, look at who else is in the category. Would you say they're direct competitors? If not, you're probably not in the right category.
