Ah, gotcha.

I thought you were giving advice that people should not try to get listed in DMOZ.

i have submitted to them more than once and they seem not to accept my site. i don't use promotions, and i also tried to be an editor and they responded back within like 3 days. i agree if your site isn't listed yet, you need to resubmit. i have heard your site has to be live for at least 2 years before they would consider placing you in their directory.

one question, if accepted in dmoz will that automatically get you accepted in google? i ask because i don't know where to find googles directory.

Thanks for the heads up on those links. I have a couple other places I submit my url to, but it never hurts having more.

Thank you for your advice I will resubmit my listing.

Haha, yeah DMOZ is practically impossible. I've spent hours trying to submit extreme quality sites, and nothing, years later.

@Eric: Yes, Google really does care which directories you submit to, even if the anchor text varies. If you're a large site, it can help you (as in you have about 3000 backlinks or more). Otherwise smaller sites are warned against getting spammy directory links.
