A DMOZ link is a good quality backlink, however its not the magic link that you must have to suceed online.

Keep in mind that the average surfer does not use directories to find websites. Other directories may use DMOZ to find links to fill their directories. Webmasters may use DMOZ to find other relevant sites in their niche.  Getting listed in DMOZ will help you in Google search but will not give you a huge boost in traffic from the actual page itself.

Suggest your site for free and then forget it . Continue  promoting your site by other methods. If one day they decide to include your site, simply consider it a bonus.
