It seems that DMOZ is losing it's umph as a major player. It's still going to be crawled by Google, for now at least, and that will help get you into Google for sure, but it's not such a big deal as it once was.
In fact, some SEOs advise against obsessing about DMOZ. Try it and if you get in, fine and if you don't then fine too.
Thats good to know!!! Thanks.
