    I am curious to know what perks go along with a site when it is listed in DMOZ?

    Does it add quality to the site?

    Does it draw more interest?

    Well yeah. You gain solid backlinks from an authorative site.

    well most of the search engines crawl through dmoz. So, if it is in dmoz, it on most engines!!

    It gives you a backlink and gets you in the google directory (which is just a DMOZ dump) - although google has stated it is treated no differently than another link for PR. With a dozen DMOZ listed sites, I do believe it helps with SERPS a little - although I think the benefit is greatly over-estimated. You couldn't tell one of my DMOZ listed sites from a non-listed site by looking at SERPS.

    Google has discounted or ignores all the DMOZ clones now and the amount of traffic received - even from a top level listing - is very, very small (and I think much of that traffic is webmasters looking for link exchanges).

    DMOZ is worth the time to submit to - but don't worry too much if your site isn't accepted as the vast majority of sites are rejected - and it can take days to several years before an editor even looks at your submission. Make sure you take the time to submit to the right category - this is critical, and don't submit the same site more than once.
