Default Is the open directory still important?

I remember when I started SEOing a while back getting listed in DMOZ was considered a must for respectability of your website in google's eyes. Anyone think this is still the case? It seems google is taking many more things into consideration these days.

Thanks

Some people will say yes, some no.. However, the waiting time is longer than a year so i think that it's not worth it.

DMOZ is important in link-building point of view

Many . . .many other sites copy their database form DMOZ as they allow it legally,so you get a link from all of them hence its very important

But most importantly you need to have good content , otherwise even if u advertise in 100 directories you will not get a sign-up in ur forum/website/etc.

Yes, you are right and there were very many free directories have come up these days which are of good and decent quality and google has started considering them too as credible source and hence it is not recommended very much to get listed in dmoz these days.

It's worth but the wait time is too high.
