Any advantage to multiple listing in dmoz?

    Hey guys, I currently have two listings in the dmoz, one for the main page, the other for a specific content page. I think I might get more, if the editor of the categories I submitted for, eventually looks at my submission. Maybe 5 listings overall. Question: is there any advantage to this vis-a-vis the search engines or something else to having multiple listings in dmoz, or is one listing the same as 100 listings?

    From my testing, it seems to me that Google treats one link from a domain almost the same as one hundred links from the same domain.

    Therefore, additional links from the same domain have negligible additional value.

    Of course, if your current link is on a low-PR page and the new link is on a high-PR page, then you may see value from the new link.

    And then there is always the incredibly remote possibility of direct referrals through your DMOZ link. Hey, it could happen. :)

    Another one is if the links are in categories far away from each other. The various DMOZ clones, some of them don't import complete DMOZ, but might do so with only few sections. So in the end you might have a higher chance of ending up in more DMOZ clones than you would have with just one listing. That's just a theory though.... :)

    Which would just get whacked by Google's duplicate content penalty...
