    Yes. This and Yahoo Directory (if you can get included inside of it). But it's kinda hard for DMOZ to accept your site... same with Yahoo Directory.

    Agreed as far as DMOZ is concerned. I've tried several times to get one particular site listed with no luck. And they never tell you why they don't list you - very frustrating coz there's basically nothing you can do since you get no feedback. But, getting listed in Yahoo!, from what I can gather anyway, isn't that hard, provided you're willing to fork over the $300+ annual fee! But, the rewards as far as Google ranking value is concerned can be substantial.

    It has a high PR and it is one of the highest ranked directory. I think it is important. But having said that, how to be listed is another important question. I had tried for ages and never managed to get my site listed.

    Is it a must have? Probably not

    Nice to have? Yes

    I think its slowly becoming outdated. DMOZ still contains a good amount of juice however, I feel like it has become diminished from the amount of power that it use to have.

    Bottom line, get it if you can, but you don't NEED it.
