    From DMOZ, Yahoo, or Google?

    Is it anything significant?

    I get less than 5% of traffic from directories, 20% from good links (text and banners) from other sites, 30% type ins and the rest search engines.

    long posts are ok, people come back to read them through. sometimes :)
    I try to get good links only, good links seem to work better with the search engines as well. You need only a few to help you rank.

    I only show 99 back links in google and my PR is a 5, is that good or bad for the number of back links? I'm totally new to this PR thing.

    PR should be ignored. It has turned into a game where Google no longer shows you what they really think about your site. It is overall weight created by age of indexing, amount of links from quality and related sites as well as other factors.
    PR is insignificant, what matters is amounts of links from good sites. If your rankings are moving up, keep on doing what you're doing. I got rid of the Google Foolbar because it distracted me from checking out if sites were most likely going to be helpful or hurtful long term.

    On a good week, I will see about 5 visitors from the yahoo direcory, invariably from the Indian or Canadian version.
    I think I got one from the ODP once.
