dmoz is an important directory also known as The Open Directory Project (ODP), classified into different categories full of websites.

is really one you should try to list your site or blog. Google’s Directory is created by volunteer human-subject matter experts who contribute to the Open Directory Project (www.dmoz.org). The raw open-source directory is used not just by Google, but also by Netscape Search, AOL Search, Lycos, HotBot, and DirectHit. The volunteers evaluate, classify, and annotate each entry. The entries are then ranked by Google’s PageRank algorithms.
also another great place for you to list your site or blog. You can submit it for free if you have non commercial site or blog, but for those of you who have a commercial site or blog, you have to pay for a listing fee for $299 (non refundable), after you pay for the listing, your site or blog will then be reviewed by yahoo staff in 7 days. But the poor thing about this paid listing in yahoo directory is that your site or blog may not be accepted.

The higher the page rank of the open directory, the easier for search engine spider to crawl and find your site.
