Google & DMOZ

I finally found something to prove there's a deal between the two.

Look at the bottom.

 

well the Google directory uses dmoz, so yeh there's a connection

 

Yeah it's on the English one too, I knew it for ages - I thought the link between Google and DMOZ was well known and even "standard".
Should have reported my findings earlier then

 

It is pretty well known for years now. It used to be a good way to help your site by getting it listed in Dmoz. They are so slow listing sites that they make google look fast now. Google has sites in search results that have been down for over a year.

 

I knew this long time ago. But, I still can't have my site in DMOZ

 

I'm with ya, Sphinks. I've submitted my site twice in the last 7-8 months and still no DMOZ love.

 

it's not a new think. google directory is a copy of dmoz

 

It is a old story. If you go the submission page you will know the connection.

 

Another connection is, Google doesn't update it's DMOZ data for over a year

 

Google directory is a copy of dmoz but imo google is decreasing the value of dmoz cause the directory has not been updated for more than 400 days.
And also google uses your dmoz description as your sites description , this is a very old story.

 

You are pretty late, the google directory mirrors dmoz
