The biggest part of "how he did it" was creating something people wanted to share and link too. The feature on killerstartups got him past PR2, which I haven't been able to do after a year on any of my sites. Then Shady Email got him to 4.
It was much less hard work than I was hoping, it was much more the development of a fun idea related to another previously successful site, Shady URL
- thinkbohemian 17y agoIf you get your link included in a number of directories and that number is greater than the number of outgoing links you should be able to at least get up to PR3 without much difficulty. If not, use google webmaster to see if your site is being flagged for doing something wrong.
- sabat 17y agoalmost impossible to get included in these days Not true! I've been included within the past year or so. It took a year before I was actually included, sure. But it's not impossible. I have no reason to believe I was merely lucky.
- ericd 17y agoDMOZ is unfortunately inundated with requests for inclusion, the editors are all volunteers, and it takes a significant amount of time and effort to properly review a site for inclusion. (I used to be an editor, my category had a backlog of 150 sites when I joined)
