DMOZ - the most important directory

DMOZ has to be your first port of call when looking to develop links to your site. It is commonly known that Gooogle will give you a better rank if you're listed on DMOZ. However, you must have patience with DMOZ and make sure that you submit to the right section.

Here are some good tips:
1. Take time selecting the most appropriate category within DMOZ.
2. When submitting the site, make sure that you keep marketing jargon to a minimum and hold back on the superlatives.
3. Read the submission tips page on DMOZ very carefully.
4. Keep checking to see if you're listed and, if not, submit again after 3 weeks.
5. Take a look at the DMOZ editors' forum to see if you can get any new tips.
