Directory: Dmoz.org
Made by: Group of volunteer editors
Submission Fee: Free
About: The largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory, maintained by a vast, global community of volunteer editors. The general directory everyone wants to gets piece of listing. A lot of search engine, most namely Google, use Dmoz as its reference directory. In which, gives Dmoz an enormous advantage over other directory. It is a common seo myth that dmoz-included website normally rank higher than other websites that do not listed dmoz.
Dmoz is also the ‘most talked about’ directory in any webmaster forum, largely due to its editorial process. A website has to be submitted in the ‘most-appropriate’ category along with many submission guidelines. In addition to that, a website can take from few weeks to few years (or, never) to be included. The inefficiency is largely due to its voluntary editors.
Pros: Successful listing will give enormous boost to search engine ranking.
Cons: Strict editorial. Not every average joe knows how to submit their site correctly. And it can take few weeks to few years to be listed.
