I struggled to get in DMOZ and was expecting great things when I finally managed it, but I can’t really think there’s been any benefit.

Will try the Yahoo Directory and BOTW though!

I agree to lucio I submitted a site on DMOZ and I still wait for a long time but my site still not included. I don’t see any problems with that submission and a lot of SEO said that it is really hard to list on DMOZ while yahoo directories is more important and valuable even though it is paid I get a lot of backlinks on yahoo

Lucio ... I like the way you explain that certain keywords are useful at different points in the sales cycle. This sort of thinking helps us understand how we may want to structure our keywords across the site as a way of accelerating a sales funnel. .-= Gavin Heaton´s last blog ..Last Minute Call to Men =-.

Seth, Yes, screw you DMOZ was more like – I won’t bother to kill myself or my clients to get them listed there.
Yes, it’s good sense still to try to list it there however it’s not the biggest thing ever, there are other places you can get listed, generate credibility and have the same (if not) even more effect than get listed on DMOZ.

Very good article though I would not say “screw DMOZ”. It is always wise to try and get a submission in and it will not take that long either. If they index you then it is always a plus above the websites that are not listed.

BOTW and Yahoo are absolutely directories you should get listed in since not only serps but also users seem to value these directories. It makes your website/business much more trustworthy as well.
