lol- this post is actually spot on. So many people think DMOZ is the hero of seo and serps..once upon the web yahoo used to depend on them No more.
Totally agree with you Brian ... well now a days what happen every new webmaster wherever enters in this world they heard from somewhere that if you got listed in Dmoz then you got 1 position in Google and like that but there is nothing like that .... Well if you get listed in dmoz but still you do not have the quality link more then other website then you're there where you're at first ..... well it is good that if you got listed in dmoz .. because it's a good reputated Directory .. and we all knows that Google love this directory but ... it doesn't means that you have to start working to get listed in dmoz only ...
Directory Listing is old method and now we can get huge number of visitors from Social Media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Most of the directories takes too much time to approve so its just wastage of time to work in directories. Always use Forum Posting and PR, these are best methods for getting huge back links in just few days.
You live in a dream world mate. Google is a corrupt as the Federal Bank. Today if you have 10.000 of dollars to invest in SEO, for almost any niche, in one or two years, u will have 20-30.000 visitors per day. It not hard work it's money. But yes you can do it without it, but very hard, and it takes lots of time and knowledge to get around 10k per day.
You're right! But OP's thread is about Directory Submission, Its values, Alternatives, Other link building methods etc
