I've read that Google's Directory is a replica of the DMOZ one. I finally just got listed in Dmoz on Saturday (phew!), and now I'm anxious for Google to update it's directory to reflect my listing. Any one know anything about how often Google updates it?
Simple answer; Not very often. Twice a year is the norm, and it was done a couple of months back, so expect another 2-4 month wait, I would guesstimate.
i am not sure whether your site will also been indexed by Google Directory although it's based on DMOZ. anyone here can confirm that...
Google directory is a 100% mirror of the DMOZ content, so once you are listed in the ODP/DMOZ you will eventually get into the Google Directory. Google updated its directory on roughly the following dates: July 17, 2005 September 11, 2005 October 21, 2005 December 23, 2005 February 19, 2006 September 6, 2007 December 12, 2007 January 12, 2008 March 15, 2008 So it seems pretty random so far, with a lull in the middle, but a bit more recently. Who knows how that will continue.
Good to hear that you got listed in Dmoz. Google already updated its database in march so it will take 3-4 months time for next update.
