They have already made that judgement and their conclusion is no mystery. Their version of DMOZ is buried way back in an old garden shed. and they've already clearly stated that they assign no special value to DMOZ listings. ...assuming it does have high PR to begin with, and then, what Cutts left out, was the fact that whatever PR the page has to pass on is divided among all of the outgoing links, including navigation links, on that page. What that leaves in most categories for any individual listing is minuscule. And by the way, this also applies to any other directory, for those of you who are paying inflated fees to be listed in Alive, Aviva, and the rash of bidding directories. Their silence and inaction speaks volumes.
Regarding PR you are right but you imply that PR is the only thing used to determine relevancy. The obsession with PR is what lead to this explosion in directories. Regarding AOL, they are stirring,they show signs of leaping into action, but they may nod off back to sleep at any moment. There are some tangible (but minor) changes that the public will be able to see sometime soon, with possibly major ones on the horizon.
Yep, DMOZ has learned from nazi mistakes that is why everything stays hidden and removal reasons are secret since extermination of subhumans and creation of master meta race wouldn't be very liked by the public.
Ivan, you get sicker by the second. Such parallels are from a distorted and twisted mind, you make me want to vomit in disgust at your comments.
If the shoe fits? Honestly, take a step back, see things from the outside. You may be surprised just how the place looks from a 3rd party perspective...then, maybe you won't be *shrug* Yes, Ivan is talking in exaggerations, but just how far he is exaggerating remains a matter of perspective, because those parallels making you sick, do have a ring of truth.
for some one who defends the corruption and pedophile listings you certainly have a sensitive stomach.
Ah, Julian thanks for reminding me. We never got to the bottom of your stance of on pedophile listings such as those Tennie porn sites sites in YOUR directory. Don't you think that sites like "Just Asian Teens", "Teachers Nasty Pet", and "Teenage Pleasures" are little more than pedophilia? I think that the ODP should dump them as well. What do you think Julian?
I certainly do...and the rest of the adult categories. Though, you do know that your post there is against the guidelines of the ODP. You can now be terminated without a dashboard warning. Though, honestly, you can try to belittle people's sites all you want...the fact they own such sites says a lot about them. Though, the fact that DMOZ lists them says a lot about DMOZ. However, have you seen the teens in his sites? They are all over 40, unlike the 4 year olds that have been listed in dmoz
Why thank you, I didn't know you like me that much, you did read Biography in my profile? I'm evil... Dr. Evil
So, like many other things, he lies about their ages, perhaps that goes downwards for him too. Wonder if he is hiding some paedophile sites. Come on gworld where are your paedophile sites listed?
Are you projecting your desires to others? Selling links in DMOZ, defending pedophiles and corruption, is there anything that you won't do for a dollar?
You seem to know about all of these things, so you must be up to your neck in it, except that i do have an editor account unlike you unless yours is listing all that porn and paedophilia links you have on your sites, mr pornmater. I assume that's mister, are you certain of your sexuality or is that a problem too, do you have that porn site, and keep looking at all that porn to try and convince yourself?
I don't think Julian has actual pedophile sites. Just because he makes wild unsubstantiated accusations doesn't mean others have to. Based on the websites I have seen I think he is more into the pusedo legal teeny porn. You are getting confused again Julian. How many times have you been told that editors who try and sell links get removed, and webmasters who try and buy links get banned. Also regarding the "is there anything that you won't do for a dollar?" thing, I have found some very interesting sites of yours Julian. You don't really want to get into a "what I would do for a few bucks" type conversation, do you? Oh yeah, It is also hard to take allegations about defending pedophiles too seriously from someone who promotes teeny porn sites . But I guess you have worked that out by now.
Isn't clear that you are the one who is afraid, trying to hide your editor name while defending pedophiles and corruption? If you don't have anything to hide, you won't need to hide your editor name, do you?
Oh my god you are using some sort of smarmy quip generator. I have just analyzed your last 20 posts and I think I can see the basis of an algorithm forming. Every post you make is a variant of a discrete number of statements. Is Gworld a bot? And a fairly basic one at that. Is that why it will not talk about Julian’s Teeny porn sites, it is not programmed for it?
Can you three all discuss this someplace else, you are poisoning every thread and I'm tired of getting dragged into it. Gworld, stop bitching about the sites listed in the ODP if you are running similar content. Anon & Neb, stop pointing to member's pages if those (or similar) pages are listed at DMOZ. And stop asking for each others editor names...it's clear you are all too chicken to share it. If one of you steps up and gives yours, then feel free to ask the other one to do likewise...but NOT before. Threads can genuinely progress from one topic to another, but in the threads you three are in it does seem that each one turns into a discussion about child porn or editor names...that's hijacking and I'll start reporting posts about this crap in the future. So STFU, please...
