myths dmoz

A lot of seo info you read is two to three years out of date.

dmoz used to be a real gold mine, but like GG said, it was always also kind of a wierd place.

Now, while some people swear by dmoz still, based on my own measurements a link from dmoz is no more valuable than an equivalent link from anyplace else.

Now, we are talking about rough measurements here, so maybe google does still place a premium on a dmoz link, like it used to. But I wouldn't bet money on it.

Still, a links a link, and maybe half, maybe only 40% of the adult cats still get reviewed every month or so, so if you have sites in the niches that get reviewed, it makes sense to submit.
