What I dont get is why the search engines are prasing DMOZ so high – it oges against all their “rules” – at it’s best, DMOZ is a link farm with no original content, period. Only because it’s non-commercial, doesnt mean it has better quality. Since Google ranks links from DMOZ as the highest level of link possible, the Google statement that “there is no human interaction” means squad.
You dont need DMOZ link to rank high, but, damn, it helps a lot
