About two weeks ago, I submitted my site to dmoz.org. My site concept keyword was originally 'song writing'.

I just realized that it would be better to use the synonym 'songwriting' instead, so I have made changes throughout my site.

What should I do now? Should I make another submission to open directory project with the new keyword? Wouldn't that be considered as spam? Any advice would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you,

Mantius.

Mantius,

I'm no DMOZ editor or expert, but as long as you haven't changed your domain name, I wouldn't worry about it. Resubmitting could move you further down the "que".

I wouldn't think the synonym should cause them any concern once they arrive at the site.

Hope this puts your mind at ease.

Mantius, I wouldn't invest much time thinking about a submission to DMOZ. Because your site includes affiliate links, there's a very slim chance they'll actually list you in the directory anyway. Focus your time on getting links from websites that don't have a prejudice against affiliate links.
