  • The Benefits of Being Featured in The DMOZ

    The DMOZ directory submission, or The Open Directory Project, is now so highly regarded that any respectable SEO services company is now presenting its customers with a DMOZ submission service. Another reason why the DMOZ site submission is now featured in the services lists of search engine optimization companies is that performing a DMOZ submission can prove to be extremely difficult, or even impossible in some cases, for anyone other than optimization experts.

  • Understanding the Value of a DMOZ Submission

    The Open Directory Project (DMOZ) data powers the core directory services for many of the Internet's most influencial search engines and portals. However, Matt Cutts once said: "if you can't get into Dmoz, I wouldn't necessarily worry about it. There are a lot of other great places to get links across the web."

  • Denali CTP3 - Semantic Search 2 (Lots of documents)

    - by sqlartist
    Hi again, I thought I would improve on the previous post by actually putting a decent about of content into the Filetable - this time I used the opensource DMOZ Health document repository which contains 5,880 files inside 220 folders. The files are all html and are pretty small in size. The entire document collection is about 120Mb unzipped and 30Mb zipped. If any one is interested in testing this collection drop me a note and I will upload the dmoz_health repository archive to Skydrive. This time...(read more)

  • SQL 2012 - MySemanticSearch Demo with Tag Clouds

    - by sqlartist
    Excellent demonstration of the new SQL Server 2012 Semantic Search feature available at http://mysemanticsearch.codeplex.com Just tried it out on a large Business Intelligence related Microsoft Word collection and also the health related DMOZ collection of html files discussed in my previous posts. I have included some screenshots below of each document collection. I have realised that the Tag Cloud may need to be a bit more configurable based on the results of any search term.

  • Submitting new site to directories - will Google penalize?

    - by Programmer Joe
    I just started a new site with a forum to discuss stocks. I've already submitted my site to DMOZ. To help promote my site and to help people who are looking for stock discussion forums to find it, I'm thinking of submitting my site to a few more directories but I'm hesistant because I know Google will penalize a site if it believes the backlinks to the site are spammy and/or low quality. So, I have a few questions: 1) If I submit my site to directories with a PR between 4 and 5, will those backlinks be considered spammy/low quality? I noticed most free directories have a PR between 4 and 5, but I don't know if backlinks from those directories would be considered spammy by Google. 2) I'm thinking of submitting it to Best of the Web and JoeAnt, but these are paid. Does anybody have any experience with these two paid directories? Are these two directories considered higher quality by Google?

  • Good places to submit a business profile?

    - by Rob
    We have a new graphic/web design site that we've created and we'd like to give it a boost in terms of back links. What are the obvious places to submit a website to achieve some good back links? And what would be the recurring work load (if any) that those back links would need? Are there any good industry specific websites we could submit a profile to? E.g Twitter, would need constant interaction and new content with back links to the website. UPDATE: I've always felt it's worth it but after several years trying to submit different websites, I've never successfully managed to get a site into DMOZ!!

  • How to get local business nationwide exposure? [closed]

    - by guisasso
    here's the situation: This company offers local home services (construction...), but also fabricates many custom items that can be shipped nationally, and even internationally. Since i started working on this website, it has ranked pretty well on alexa global and locally, and i have made many SEO improvements that doubled the visits to the website in 6 months. The website is listed in many different directories (dmoz & etc...), maps (google maps & etc...), business listing sites (yelp & etc..), trade specific websites (angie's list, houzz & etc...), state specific business listings and etc, there are many links to pictures displayed on the website, links to the website itself, i have a google analytics and webmaster tools account, with sitemaps, newsletters, facebook page.... the list goes on and on. All of which have been working pretty well locally. We have had some success with doing business in other states and even other countries, but it is still a pretty small percentage of the market. I also advertise on google adwords locally, and since this would be the obvious answer, my question is: Without paid advertisement, how can i improve the visibility of this local business website nationally to attract customers in all US States?

  • Creating a spider using Scrapy, Spider generation error.

    - by Nacari
    I just downloaded Scrapy (web crawler) on Windows 32 and have just created a new project folder using the "scrapy-ctl.py startproject dmoz" command in dos. I then proceeded to created the first spider using the command: scrapy-ctl.py genspider myspider myspdier-domain.com but it did not work and returns the error: Error running: scrapy-ctl.py genspider, Cannot find project settings module in python path: scrapy_settings. I know I have the path set right (to python26/scripts), but I am having difficulty figuring out what the problem is. I am new to both scrapy and python so there is a good possibility that I have failled to do something important. Also, I have been using eclipse with the Pydev plugin to edit the code if that might cause some problems.

  • how to get entire document in scrapy using hxs.select

    - by Chris Smith
    I've been at this for 12hrs and I'm hoping someone can give me a leg up. Here is my code all I want is to get the anchor and url of every link on a page as it crawls along. from scrapy.contrib.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule from scrapy.contrib.linkextractors.sgml import SgmlLinkExtractor from scrapy.selector import HtmlXPathSelector from scrapy.utils.url import urljoin_rfc from scrapy.utils.response import get_base_url from urlparse import urljoin #from scrapy.item import Item from tutorial.items import DmozItem class HopitaloneSpider(CrawlSpider): name = 'dmoz' allowed_domains = ['domain.co.uk'] start_urls = [ 'http://www.domain.co.uk' ] rules = ( #Rule(SgmlLinkExtractor(allow='>example\.org', )), Rule(SgmlLinkExtractor(allow=('\w+$', )), callback='parse_item', follow=True), ) user_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; MSIE 9.0; WIndows NT 9.0; en-US))' def parse_item(self, response): #self.log('Hi, this is an item page! %s' % response.url) hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response) #print response.url sites = hxs.select('//html') #item = DmozItem() items = [] for site in sites: item = DmozItem() item['title'] = site.select('a/text()').extract() item['link'] = site.select('a/@href').extract() items.append(item) return items What I'm doing wrong... my eyes hurt now.
