How often does Google Directory update?

    I got a new domain name about 6 months back, and managed to get the entry changed in dmoz more than 2 months ago. But it doesn't seem to update in the Google Directory at all (still gives the link to the old domain). How long does it take for dmoz changes to become visible in Google directory :confused:

    Not sure the exact time frame but, usually in every 2-3 months.

    Many thanks for the info :) - hopefully it'll update soon then. Getting Yahoo to change the entry is a totally different ballgame :(

    No, the PR has updated alright, it's just that Google directory is still displaying my old URL which has been changed in dmoz quite a while back (I was talking about content update rather than directory PR update). Sorry for any confusion caused...

    Google updates its DMOZ feed whenever it feels like it. In the past, it was as frequently as every 1-2 months; it has also been as infrequently as 2-3 times a year.

    Recently, some DMOZ editors have been claiming that Google is back to updating monthly. It doesn't appear that's true.

    I have been waiting and waiting for some of my site listings to update at google directory and when I emailed them, their reply was kinda like minstrel said "when it feels like it".
