DMOZ is the step-mom of Google, however Google still loves it

DMOZ editors seems like land on planet earth once in a blue moon from their UFO spacecraft .

If you can manage to get listed under a specific regional category of DMOZ, your rankings will SHOT TO PAGE 1.

DMOZ listings under general categories dont weigh much, but surely regional listings can do wonders for your site. For example if you manage to get listed under "New York" region, your rankings will shot to page 1 whenever somebody search Google.com from New York.

DMOZ is slow, fluffy and works like a snail, but still it is Google's step mom and we cannot ignore that.

Submit to social bookmarking sites, forum signature and directories. Great way of getting some off page optimizations.

1.) Link exchange/One-way links
2.) Directory submissions (mostly in dmoz)

There are a couple of ways to do some off-site SEO. I've found that finding sites with similar niche's to yours and linking to them, then mailing the owner and telling him/her about it. You can then suggest that they link to you, but remind them that whether they do or not, you're still going to keep on linking to them. It's funny how they'll spend more time thinking whether they should or not just because you were polite.

When linking to someone do it in a contextual matter while providing good information to your visitors in the process.

Post comments on blogs related to the topic of your site with your link in it. That counts as backlinks.

Try gaining between 5-10 unique links daily, nothing more and nothing less. If Google picks up that you're gaining links too quickly you'll be blacklisted and seen as a spam page.

Apart from the Dmoz directory, Yahoo! directory is just as popular if not more popular, but just as hard to get it, however there's a paid option for the Yahoo! directory as well as free option. The paid option guarantee's submission.

If you have a tutorials-based website you can submit your tutorials to a site like tutorialized.com and if accepted (within about 2-3 weeks) you'll see you'll end up getting hundreds of visitors for each tutorial you add.

Hope this helps!

Mine are social bookmarking and forum posting.

For me, customizing error pages (Yes they work wonders) and submitting to web directories.
