What is going on with Dmoz?

Does Dmoz links still have impact as a high quality link?
-
Definitely submit (it's a high quality link). However, do not have any hopes. Spend 5-10 minutes doing your submission in the right category. If you are a regional business, don't forget to submit in your regional category. That works really well, only if your contact page has the physical business address listed as well as in the whois (Yes, the editors check).
Submit it, Forget it. If you get a link. Celebrate.

Right, most of the time you won't get a response when you apply. But, there are some smaller and less commercial categories where I have heard of people getting approved within the last 18 months or so, so it's not a lost cause.
Definitely not worth more than 10-15 minutes of your time. Move on to greener pastures...

I dunno that I'd even apply to be an editor. DMOZ is basically a link club, and a very exclusive one at that. It's a good idea to apply for a link but your application may never get reviewed and, even if it does, you might get rejected anyways and never find out (unless you have a pal who is an editor).
And all that drama for a single one-way link...

It's nothing more than a solid link. Don't hinge your strategy on getting in, few of us do nowadays in competitive niches. Apply to be an editor and move on with your life...

When's Linkscape update going to go live?
I've been keeping an eye on the Linkscape update calendar and am a bit confused! There was meant to be an update yesterday, but Open Site Explorer is still showing "Last index update: 8/14/12". When will the new data reach OSE? Been doing lots of link building and want to know if my efforts have been worth it! Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks! Alex

2 links going to same domain but different pages
Hi, How is the link juice distributed when you have 2 links in the same article but they go to different pages on the same domain? I know some say if 2 links go to the same page in an article then only the first link passes juice. Would it be better to have 2 articles each having 1 link or 2 articles each having 2 links?

External links--Does it matter which page they go to?
I'll be doing some linkbuilding in which I will be asking manufacturers of the products we sell to link back to our site. My thought was to have a single page for our "Valued Suppliers" with a badge that I would give them the embed code for. If the URL goes to a "Valued Supplier" page on our site where there are multiple manufacturers, will this help my entire site or only the page that's being linked to? Thanks in advance!

Making deep links to your page on BBB or DMOZ - Effective or waste of time?
Hi, Has anyone tried making links to a deep links to a page on an external site (like dmoz or the bbb) which has a link to your website? Of course, you might wonder "it depends on the type of link" you make to this larger site. Let's say it's a link (without no-follow) on a forum or blog comment - low-quality but on a decent site. Anyone think this may have some benefit to increase the chance / rate that your own link from another site will be indexed more and provide more benefit? A dmoz link is great, but it's on the backpages because it's a huge site, opensiteexplorer hardly indexes dmoz links. Regards,

Multiple Dmoz categories?
I'm looking at a competitor who outranks me and I see that some of their top links are several links from different dmoz categories. Is it common practice to get into several dmoz categories? I always thought you could just have your site in there once!
