Doesn't rank in the top 100 for New York. So by your standard and Rand's, dmoz has no authority.
Glad we finally settled that.
New York is to competitive a keyword to use as an example. I think even you know that : )
There is no way you can rank for a high competitive keyword like "New York" with out off-site SEO.
Any way I think I have laid my position out clear enough and we don't seem to be moving ahead here : )
I think I need a bit of sleep.
