Sorry if this has been discussed already, I couldn't find a thread...

Is there any particular advantage (search engine wise for my sites) to being an editor for DMOZ or other directories?

I signed up with joeant.com so I could get some experience in writing submittal requests. They put me to work immediately :-) But I'm restricted to one topic so I can't (yet) submit all my urls for free.

I also signed up for ODP but have not heard back yet.

I signed up mostly because I like the idea of human-edited directories rather than pay-to-be-on-top listings. But I'd like to know if there might be some additional benefit to my personal sites that I submit ...

thanks,

Cheri
