    I have submited my site long time ago and didn't see any reaction, and was surfing around and found the DMOZ has cats in arabic too, so I added the site to the arabic cat and got accepted in less than a month

    if anyone have sites in other languages, you may consider looking at the available languages and submit to the right one :)

    That is great. True you should look around to see the secrets of getting in there.

    Just don't mention your listing, before you know your listing will be deleted for good.

    Good advice shows how much actual content is cared for these days at dmoz, you post url at dp it gets removed cause of existing war between dp and dmoz :D

    Congratulations?
    It might have been a good thing a few years ago...
    Too bad you got listed in a time when no one takes the ODP seriously...

    Well, knowing the fact that Google & Alexa directory downloading the ODP database and update it usually, I got listed in the other sites as well and that's just few extra back linking
    but you are right, it is not effective as it was once...

    Google hasnt updated their version in about two years.
    I do agree you will get a few backlinks but a lot will be discounted as duplicate content. I'm glad for you howebver... I hope it brings you some traffic. Good luck with your site.

    Congratz. My site was also accepted in dmoz. I was wondering why i am getting so much traffic from google last few days. Must be something on this. Authority :D
    Can't believe it.

    Total coincidence.

    Read this:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=3643449&postcount=44

    There is no proof that DMOZ has had "authority" for years. AOL lets is rot in its own juices and not made a single improvement since it took it over, and Google has not updated its version of DMOZ in two years. DMOZ is only a poor and inefficient mirror or Google SERPs, served in an archaic format, 3 years behind the times, listing only website homepages, ignoring the internal content.

    Google doesn't care for DMOZ, it has no reason to, it is light years ahead of DMOZ.

    While Wikipedia pages, like cream, have climbed the top of the SERPs, useless link farm DMOZ pages have sunk into the bowels of the SERPs. I rather believe that Google has "downgraded" DMOZ pages, and "upgraded" Wikipedia, either manually, or by letting popularity take its course.

    Many websites listed in DMOZ for over two years, and on PR5 pages, too, still have zero PR.

    Your observations are mere coincidence. Your recent blip in Google traffic must be attributed to other factors.
