Local DMOZ or .com?

Is it better to post in a local directory or should one post in the .com?

I'm about to submit a dutch site to DMOZ, but now I'm wondering about the following question:
Should I submit the site to the local DMOZ (dmoz.nl) or would it be better to sumbit it to dmoz.com? What would the advantages be when submitting to the local .nl-directory?

- Would submitting to the .nl-directory help dutch people find the site better?
- Can the site still be found in the .com when submitted to the .nl-directory?

Hi,

[dmoz.nl...] is the same as:
[dmoz.org...]

The link 'toevoegen URL' on dmoz.nl points to dmoz.org, so it doesn't matter where you submit your site.

Hi misja, thanks for the quick answer.

Must be too early for me not to have noticed that ;)

So there are no apparant advantages/disadvantages when submitting to dmoz.nl?

If you submit to dmoz.nl, it will end up in the same place as a submission from dmoz.com or dmoz.org . There's no advantage to submitting to both.

To clarify further, dmoz.nl is not an official site owned by Netscape, it is a language/country gateway maintained by a volunteer editor. There are a number of these, including dmoz.fr and dmoz.ch. All of these volunteer-maintained sites, as well as the two official, complete mirrors at ch.dmoz.org and de.dmoz.org, display only static HTML output-- all submission processing is channeled to dmoz.org, which then hands it off to editors.dmoz.org for actual processing into the database.
