Now that Google has dropped the recommendation to submit your site to DMOZ and Yahoo! Directories, will you still submit to these directories?

Even, Yahoo Directory is also dump now. IT's just wastage of money and time getting listed there.

Now they are only a big named resource but generate nothing for the websites.

Yea, Yahoo charged way too much (As if you would become PR6 + as soon as you were listed) and DMOZ was almost impossible to get into, which was gay to begin with.

I agree, Yahoo charges too much and in return not getting satisfactory traffic through it.

DMOZ sucks...good move by Google. I wouldn't go through the trouble to submit my blogs now.

Yea, saves you the time for sure.

Before 2 days Dmoz editors had checked my reviewed my website, it was under very suitable category, although they haven't approve it. it just waste of time to submit website in DMOZ. however i am not agree with Yahoo listing.

So you are also agree with this that DMOZ is not effective resource from the promotion point of view for websites.
