Jim Noble is a big time editor on DMOZ, this is one thing you can believe, a link on DMOZ has very little value and some believe it can hurt your SEO
Jim, repeats what is now often said, but it takes about 5 minutes tops to suggest the site, pick the best category, add the site title that is on the site and then a description without hype that tells a surfer what they will find on the site. Press the button, go and promote the site anywhere and everywhere else, you have done all you an at DMOZ and it can take from a few days to a few years to be reviewed. If/when it gets listed it may help, but it has cost you 5 minutes.
