    I don't know of any. IMO, it would be inappropriate to advertise an SEO service by mentioning a volunteer position as a DMOZ editor.

    Why would you want to hire a DMOZ editor for SEO? That would seem to me to be a contraindication of the person's SEO knowledge, if anything, not to mention his ethics. An ethical SEO person would respond to your inquiry by pointing out that DMOZ and DMOZ listings have virtually nothing to do with SEO.

    Agreeed 100% ..

    The value of DMOZ listing has consistently declined over the years and most SEO's now know the fact that a link from DMOZ is equivalent to a link from any PR-5-6-7-8 website... The only advantage of being listed in DMOZ would be getting links from other directories which use dmoz data, (why dont you try some dir submission service ;) )

    As for a DMOZ SEO.. visit their SEO section and try sending a PM to the editor there.. for all you know he might have his own SEO services ;)

    You know as well as anyone that "SEO project" got nothing to do with actual SEO. You will be just paying the unofficial inclusion fee for DMOZ directory. ;) :D

    Whether it is a crooked editor or an SEO with fully declared interests editing why the hell would anyone want to pay for something more or less completely worthless in marketing terms? I keep saying this but check the Google version of the DMOZ directory. Good place to start, find the SEO categories. In the Google version it shows the PR of the listed sites. Note that there are SEO's listed in DMOZ with zero, yes zero, PR. If a DMOZ listing was worth anything in terms of PR then it should not be possible to see PR0 listings should it. Spend your time and money on something more worthwhile.
