Your site's not even listed. It hasn't been since 2004....

Oh, that's right. Thanks for reminding to me to always consider my sources. ;-) Of course, the only people that make those baseless allegations are webmasters on
SEO forums who are angry that they can't get their site in the directory.

What hard work? All I did was submit it, forget about it for awhile, then sometime later I said to myself that I should check to see if Dmoz listed my site. Not much worrying on my part. Not much hard work, either. The difference between me and someone who would complain about not being listed is that
SEO isn't my life, and I don't think being listed in the directory will make or break my site. I don't spend my every working hour trying to manipulate search engines with superflous results that will give my site an edge. So, when I submitted my site to Dmoz, I didn't know what to expect, I read the instruction, followed them, wrote a guidelines compliant title and description (it was used exactly as I wrote it), and finished working on the content of my site to keep my visitors coming back. When I checked on my site for the first time it was already listed.
I do credit Dmoz for my site being included in hundreds of smaller directories. The only reason I noticed that was because I started getting hits from directories I had never heard of. I went to check my back links, and saw that a lot of directories that use Dmoz data was linking to my site. Also, my site was quickly crawled by Google and the hundreds of other search engines that feed from Dmoz. I only submitted my site to Google's search engine and Yahoo's, so I was happy to see my site turning up in other search engines. And, because of Dmoz my new site, at the time, was crawled by hundreds of search engines that made it easier for people to find my site. Plus, I get some hits from Google's directory. I'm happy that people hit my site from those places, that means my chances go up of them recommending my site to others, which is really what I want.

Maybe so, if you think your site isn't worthy of a regular Joe actually visiting it. :-D
