The importance of a ODP Dmoz Listing and Google Search

Can anybody confirm the importance of a listing in the ODP with relation to a Google Search. I understand the link between a listing in the ODP and the Google directory but does a ODP listing make a difference to a Google search listing.

Basically I'm trying to find out if Google gives a premium listings to sites listed in the ODP for their search results.

Well it helps ur pagerank, because you get another link

ODP listing help out (from what I can tell) quite a bit. It ads another link which is always good and more importantly it's a very good link and Google knows it. I have sites posted without the ODP link with a PR of 2 and sometimes 3 lower that sites with similar optimization tactics used and vitually identical additional links.

So my answer would be ... an ODP link helps significantly. But you better have a good site that is otherwise well optimized as well.

Remember that PR is s multiplier and anything multiplied by 0 is still 0. ;)

Yeah, pagerank is great, but the keywords are what really gets you the results in google!

true enough but in this industry ...

take every advantage you can. if it helps by 1% then it's worth doing.

cheers !
