dmoz question

now that i'm in Dmoz, how long will it take for my site to show up in the dmoz clone directories?

 

Depends on how often they update, I noticed a change in Google Directory about 2-3 weeks after the dmoz change... but thats not alot to go on

 

google gets their listing from dmoz?

sweet

 

Yes, Here.. http://www.google.com/dirhp

 

Yeah. That's the sole remaining reason for anyone at all to give a damn about DMOZ.

 

lol dmoz is my new best friend

 

It won't last... DMOZ is too fickle

 

Yeah me and dmoz are not talking at the moment.. they stll call my sites blah.com instead of Blah - annoying

 

I think you will find this takes a really long time (with the exception of Google) as most people pull down the feed the rarely (if ever) update it.

 

Google doesn't update very regularly either. They have been slowly down their updates over the past couple of years, leading some to speculate that the DMOZ feeds will eventually be dropped. I think that since 2004 the updates have been approximately quarterly but don't quote me on it -- like everything else, Google does it when they feel like doing it.

 

DMOZ is not your friend but your worst enemy.

 

Now, now... that's a bit harsh... there ARE a few worst enemies:

• herpes
• Montezuma's Revenge
• hiccups that won't go away on a first date
• a cramp in your driving foot while you're on the highway
• splashing toothpaste in your eye
• the dentist
• the proctologist
• blind dates
• paper cuts
• and a few others
