This thread began in 2007 when manual directory submissions were still common. For historical context: DMOZ was the volunteer‑edited Open Directory Project; it was taken offline and archived in 2017 (summary and links to archives are documented on the project page). See Open Directory Project.

Practical takeaways for anyone arriving here years later: directory listings no longer move the needle the way they once did. Rather than hunting for directory submission, focus on content quality, technical SEO (mobile, speed, structured data), and earning topical, authoritative backlinks. If an older site claims a DMOZ listing, check archived snapshots to confirm and update or remove the citation — the Internet Archive is useful for that.

To tie this back to earlier replies: , the tool existed and mattered in a different era; and were correct in sensing its declining value. For site owners cleaning up legacy links, use Google Search Console to review referring domains, prioritize outreach to correct high‑value links, and reserve disavow only for clear low‑quality spam. For research or preservation, follow the archival pointers on the Open Directory Project page rather than trying to submit to an inactive service.

Arshad: dmoz.org. Just go to their site and follow the submission instructions.

At the end of the day, is highly overrated. Not many people regard them as highly as they used to before.
