| 1) In my experience sites not in DMOZ get the same amount of traffic as similar sites not listed in DMOZ. |
|
This is also my experience.

We have two sites listed in DMOZ, and when I do a link back check in Google they don't even show up. That should give you some indication of the importance.

I would imagine Google give quite a bit of weight to a link from Dmoz.
In my experience that is all they are worth though, cannot ever recall seeing any human traffic referred from there!

I'm not too certain that is an indicator of anything. If I were a search engineer and I wanted to protect those properties that I deem to be of importance, I'm going to do what I can to stop you from reverse engineering. One of the simplest things I can do is make it appear as if the ODP is not passing any value. ;) I'm sure the Editors could vouch that submissions have died off over the past year or so. They are probably getting more quality submissions now that the word is out that a listing in the ODP is no longer of value. :)

Is it the word that's out or is it a fact too.
