Getting listed with dmoz

[The Old Sarge]

If DMOZ is obsolete, why does Google still use it over all other directories ... including its own?

Simple answer: Because DMOZ is the largest, most comprehensive, human-edited directory on the Internet. Period.

Those that hate and/or degrade it do so primarily because they either:

1. Do not understand what it does and how it operates, or

2. They cannot get their site listed because it does not meet DMOZ guidelines for listing... or

3. Because they attempt to twist DMOZ into something it never purported to be, never will be, and refuses to be intimidated into being ... or

4. Some combination of all three of the above.
