Improve Your Blog’s Google Ranking With DMOZ
Search the word “blog” on Google and notice that most of those sites in the first several pages of results have a "Category" listing, such as "Category: Computers > Internet > On the Web > Weblogs > Personal"
This is because every site registered with the Open Directory Project (ODP, aka DMOZ.org)
is guaranteed to be in the database Google searches (which itself makes up only a relatively small fraction of all Web pages). Also, a link to your site from Yahoo! or DMOZ is weighted with the highest value in terms of Google’s in-bound-link-based ranking algorithm (i.e., Google gives higher ranking to those sites with lots of URLs from other sites pointing in at them, particularly links from sites that are highly valued). Here’s a discussion thread on WebMasterWorld.com (a great resource about the niche of search engine optimization) that explains more about all this.
Therefore, if you blog and you care about showing up on Google, make sure your blog is registered with DMOZ. Here is the main page for Computers: Internet: On the Web: Weblogs — click where it says “add URL” at the top of the page.
