I want to know Dmoz has how many listings? I hear from somebody that it has 8 million listings is it true?
CReed is correct, it's shown on their front page (which means a quick check would have been faster then starting a thread ) 4,830,584 sites - 75,151 editors - over 590,000 categories
That means the Dmoz has only 5 million listings Its correct Then I would overtake it less than 2 month
If there is an issue at DMOZ with competitors getting listed, how do you think a webmaster forum's directory would do (unless it was open, like WIKI or something).
Such a lie lol, there are maybe 200-300 or less active editors, they just list all the removed and banned editors in that big fat number lol, cause sql cannot tell the difference between active and inactive editor
They're actually just listing folks in the phonebook. Let's burn all the phonebooks for great justice! All your base are belong to Dmoz! Someone set them up the bomb! Sorry - you'd have to have seen the flash to understand the broken English is a poorly translated game from Japan. Yay for flash videos... let's make one called "All Your Directory Are Belong to DP". *snorts more happy powder*
I can't understand what your are saying? I was saying that Bigoole would overtake it in less than 2 -3 months!
I'd be interested in yur methodology for arriving at 200 or less active editors. I can see a number several times higher here: http://dmoz.org/profiles/ simply by grepping the number of profiles updated in 2007 alone. That number reflects editors who have updated their profile, or have received, lost, or dropped permissions to edit categories. If you take a simple copy of the profile pages each month you can build up an accurate picture of that type of activity (and, importantly, distinguish between category permission changes and simple profile detail updates). That is one way you can arrive at a justifiable lower bound for active editors. Is that what you have done? If not, what?
@dharmarucci lol that list is so old most have retired,kicked in the butt or stopped editing long ago, dmoz does not have time to remove or edit their webpages at all, they just let it be. I know from experience there aint many editors around dmoz those numbers listed above is the total so far dmoz have faced , not those that are currently "EDITING"
Bigoole Bot has so far indexed 500,000 listings in just 5 days So I assume it would overtake Dmoz soon Bigoole has a bot which only indexes one page from a site and displays listings for only for the keywords contained in META tags So if you search for hosting only web hosting sites will appear just like a directory It is custom coded by me and the listings are sorted by PR and I am also working on anew mtehod to sort out the listings By the way the Dmoz has not corrected itself over period of time It has following Deficiencies a)Bad editors b)Corrupt editors c)over 1 million pending listings d)and the directory has more scrap listings
What is it with these bigoole thing? They are claiming to be the worlds largest directory. When I do a search on "New York" I get 12 results. What has happened, have I missed world war three or something?
Just pretending top be prophetic. With the overhead of all that backlogging it is likely that mismanagement will cause its own demise. However - it may also cause a routing by Google/Yahoo and total cleanup. GMoz Imagine what would happen if Google/Yahoo dumped Dmoz and just said the hell with it, wrote them out of their engines, and made their own free dirs, or none at all?
