    I just got approved as an editor for a category in dmoz. I was wondering how often google directory synchronize with dmoz.org. The changes i made in dmoz 3 weeks ago are not yet shown on google directory.

    I heard they were updating about monthly, so maybe next week. Then again, they have been known to take over a year to bother with such things, so maybe sometime in 2009?

    Really, there is no way of knowing when Google will update it's clone.

    It has been as much as a year for an update in the past. Congrats on your approval for an admin on DMOZ and good luck!

    yeah thanks dude.
    Was rejected 3 or 4 times with my real name. Got approved right away with my fake half asian (Chinese) name. :)

    Crazy world isnt it.
