Many search engines use results from DMOZ as supplemental results. So if you aren't listed in DMOZ or your listing is bad, it can adversely affect your search engine placement in Google, Yahoo, etc. DMOZ a.k.a the Open Directory Project (ODP), is a directory of websites that is manually edited and maintained by groups of individual human editors.

Get them to put it in robots.txt so jo-public doesnt have to download it. Also DMOZ needs a new spin on it somehow... something to drag the public in to do the work for them or something.

My main reason for becoming an ODP editor was to try to change the entry for one of the sites I was responsible for. Search results kept pulling the description and title from ODP (leftover from the Yahoo directory days), but I can't change it and nobody who can, will. Now the site's domain has changed too, so the listing is really outdated. ODP was a good idea, but it's just not very practical anymore. The web is just too big and if a site owner needs to get a valid change made, it's next to impossible unless you have high-level ODP access. Finally!

ODP rules limit your "sales Speak" in your description. At a web page lavel, you can snazz it up and as already mentioned, increase your CTR. Also, for different pages with different descriptions. :) Some good thinking from MSN. ODP rules limit your “sales Speak” in your description.
