    I'm not sure if ANY directories, including DMOZ, do much, if anything, to boost your site in the SERPs. Yahoo would be the next-most respected directory, though.

    Frankly speaking, I only know Dmoz under the free directory category.

    Have you ever been able to successfully place a link on Dmoz?

    Directories link building technique still works, but you need to be mindful with how to approach it. Directory link building requires judgement and critical thinking! so do not be tempted by low-quality directories, they will cause you more damage than good.

    Developing effective links is now difficult in the last few years, as Google continues to crack down on sneaky hyperlink methods, including web directories. Does this mean directory web sites are never a good idea?
