IS Dmoz useful?

[etrade-union]

Guys,

I heard many times that Dmoz is useful, but I need to know that Dmoz is useful in which sense taffic or SERP?

If yes it is important, then does any company can guarantee about listings?

Thanks

the only people who can guarantee you a listing are corrupt editors. Don't waste your money!

Is DMOZ useful? yes as far a a back link goes.

Is what OWG just said true? very much so.

DMOZ is useful, other directories are said take their content from DMOZ, but it's only good as a backlink. Getting into DMOZ is a pain in the backside, some sites get listed in days, other equally good sites never.

There's no guarantee of getting into DMOZ, OWG is right corrupt editors are the only guarantee of acceptance, and is it worth it, I dont think so!

If you build enough, good quality backlinks, you don't need DMOZ, I think. Build links - not waste your money to corrupt DMOZ editors.

If you get listed in dmoz you will be there in google's directory too.
But there is none who can guarantee a listing in DMOZ.
You can Do it yourself. Use your sites name as title and 5 to 8 words of description can get you listed there. It may take some time anything from 3 months to a Year.
You don't have to pay a cent for it.

I think, not a lie, they're just corrupt editors.
