is dmoz database available ?

is somewhere dmoz database avaiable ?

 

You can try differnet scripts that comes with dmoz database i think Jim Westegren released one script anyway checkout http://www.phplinkdirectory.com check thier forums and go to modifcations section there are alot of mods for importing dmoz links etc to your directory
Edit:LOL Someone gave me rep with reason:its no jw's site (JW=Jim Westegren) well dude you should have mentioned your name i would have not given you red rep..but I was just saying that Jim also released one but you can check David site(phplinkdirectory.com) theres alot of mods there for this stuff... I am not complaining
Thanks,
Saad

 

http://rdf.dmoz.org/ for the database itself. Beware - it contains (very) hard core pornographic links.

 

(very) hard core= illegal, underground porn.

DMOZ is definitive authority directory of illegal sites.

 

that's wonderfull . they are giving their db

 

thts wht they are supposed to do

 

The "a" key on your keyboard doesn't seem to be working all the time.

Not exactly giving - for every category you use you are supposed to give them a link - that is the deal. If you republish all 600,000+ categories then that is 600,000+ links in a format of their choosing.

 

Im not saying that its a good idea but i know a guy who has a PHP script that will clone the listings in a directory, as i said, im not saying its a good idea to it im just saying that yes, it would be possible to get DMOZ's database

 

Well... yes... it isn't just possible, there is a link on the DMOZ site to the database download - see my post above for that link. What might not be a good idea is that it contains unsavoury links that might make you puke if you are not careful. I am sure I once suggested internally that a version of the download minus the filth would be a good idea, but clearly they want to share it all.

 

Yes, it is available...but beware. That would be one hell of a dowload for the whole DMOZ database! Also, think of how many other ppl have cloned DMOZ. The big three search engines won't like you for having duplicate content, and believe me....DMOZ is very much duplicated.

 

actually i dont need to make a directory from that database ..i have something else in my mind

 

Now you've stirred my curiosity -- what do you have in mind?

 

me too I want to know your plans aswell.. I cant thing of many other thing to use DMOZ database for apart from another directory

 

Very good finds guys buy I tried to downlaod and I see 1MB of 311MB downloaded...
The database is so big so I need to upgrade my hosting for it!
Maybe, I'll do!

 

hmmm. well this is a million dollar question ... if i would have a few thousand dollars available... i would have doubled them until now

 

I did not exactly make a mod.

Just a few PHP files and you have it. Easy to change design.

WARNING: Using a copy of DMOZ will lower your trust in Google and you will risk have your entire site going in the supplemental index no matter how many backlinks or if you have PR6 and it is a super site. I know.
