DMOZ Directory Lising..... 5 years since submission

[inhouseseo]

I submitted my  site to DMOZ 5 years ago. It has yet to be approved.

Is there any use in trying to submit to this site. I have an established e-commerce site that has thousands of pages indexed.

Anyone have any useful info?

I would resubmit it : ) it's been 5 years.. A Directory link from DMOZ is very strong. Just make sure you place it in the correct category and follow their guidelines.

Are you sure it is still awaiting approval? this year january i was crazy about it and i keep asking my seo guys to keep trying and we finally got a link from dmoz but then penguin came and the site got an algorithmic penalty . And lost all the ranking. Dmoz is a good linkback as its a very high link back. but I still have yet to see some benefits, I have change our strategy now working on Content to get more quality links

I'm an editor for one of the categories, and depending on the catagory you're trying to listed in, it can indeed take some time.

By the way, I actually don't think a link from DMOZ is all that powerful any more...just my 2 cents.
