Its a directory - its free - it only helps those who list by giving them a link back to their site. It could take 6 months or more to be in the DMOZ directory, and Yahoo charges $300 to be in theirs.
Being in google isnt the goal - that happens alomst automatically - being in google and shopwing up high enough in the listings that people can actually find you - thats the goal.
The way you get higher in the rankings - is by many links back to your site from places like directories and other sites. Its one of the major reasons a site is on the first page or buried on the 30th page. Links.
These are the things we talk about on VB Webmaster Filburt1.
But regardless - this thread is just for links to VB.ORG member's sites from our directory - There is nothing for them to do on the directory except list their site.
