===Links from DMOZ and Best of the Web articles and main pages==
Getting your website or web articles listed in [http://www.dmoz.org/ DMOZ] and [http://botw.org/ Best of the Web] can be influential in terms of getting higher search engine rankings. [http://www.dmoz.org/ DMOZ] has an official policy that they prefer or require you to have only one submission to their website. The rule appears to be poorly enforced (at lest in the past at a bare minimum) though and some websites have a lot of DMOZ entries. I am guessing that within reason you should be able to have more than one submission. For example, I am guessing that it would be reasonable for Subways to have a listing under food service establishments plus also have a listing under franchises. It appears as if DMOZ wants volunteer editors who are unbiased so I suggest that if you apply to DMOZ you do not divulge any information that might lead them to believe you are biased. I would think submitting your own website as a volunteer editor would be a big mistake. If do apply to be a volunteer editor say you are applying to be a volunteer because you think it is important that internet users have internet directories that can lead them to high quality resources, etc. etc. And of course, it goes without saying that if you volunteer to be a DMOZ editor then you choose only high quality articles and websites to be submitted. When making a submission to DMOZ it is important that there be an editor for the category you are submitting to or it could take many years before the submission is put into DMOZ.
I have found that getting inbound links from [http://www.dmoz.org/ DMOZ] and [http://botw.org/ Best of the Web] articles and the main pages of these websites can be very good in terms of getting your articles ranked high by the search engines.
==Submitting Articles to Article Directories==
One way to have your webpages rank higher at the search engines is to submit articles to articles directories that link to your webpages. I have heard that there are software programs called "article spinners" which can create different versions of your articles so you do not have your articles filtered out of the search engines due to duplicate content filtering. I have heard mixed messages regarding the effectiveness of article spinners. I am looking into this matter via a friend who is an SEO.
