IIRC zero relevance (although some irrelevant SE might not support it?) but if your targeting visitors from entire World (like me) you don't have to worry about each language code page since utf-8 covers them all. One Encoding to rule them all, One Encoding to find them, One Encoding to bring them all and on the internet bind them!
Or could it be that editors own very profitable affilate sites and listing there sites can make them far more $$$$
That would be real waste of his efforts since his sites would be buried deep in DMOZ not gaining him anything, only good PR categories are first two-three levels but there is probably only few major sites listed in them. If his site is profitable it would be simpler to buy some good PR links and instead use his time to add something useful to his sites - that would gain him far more visitors, traffic and of course money. Over the years I got tons of deeplinks across entire Internet from related websites to my 1800+ pages content site and since most of them are PR0-1 they are totally useless - good ones give me maybe a visitor or two in a month, I get more traffic from my signature here then all of them put together - good thing it is a hobby site or I would be really depressed.
but sometime google shows results from dmoz. It's a great benefit for them. Not only google but also some top search engines uses dmoz database.
DMOZ would make difference if your site is new or has very few backlinks since in that case each backlink can make big difference but if your site becomes so good and gets backlink from some PR6/7+ authority site for free you would probably forget DMOZ (and most other sites) even exist.
yeah i agree with you but in dmoz my site get back links without any cost.In case of some pr6/7+ site i've to pay a fat check so that my site is listed on that page. this is the only difference.
I agree with your point. Dmoz is just another of those things that annoys me so much I've pretty much given up on it. The fact is that it seems the content should be the top priority. When I used to write briefly for About.com, I listed a site and it was approved almost immediately... why? b/c of the name. When I left, I got them to give up their exclusivity of the online rights, I took my content and posted to a new, smaller network. It's long been off of About's servers, de-indexed w/ them, etc. Yet my site couldn't seem to get approved, even though it's the same content, just as relevant as before. Now that it's off of their servers, and I've finally just created my own site, I'm not even bothering with them. It's almost as much of a waste as trying to add relevant, well-researched content to a wikipedia page that some editor is overprotective about (not even including your own links). Not worth the hassle, stress, and frustration at this point. Jenn
ya i also found a site www.himalayanitgroup.com it contain keywords stuffing and many which is against the law of se's.
