Just yesterday I posted on the fact that the index page of the open directory, also known as DMOZ, had fallen from Google search results and I mused about the idea that the directory may have died or at least in the eyes of Google. No dice! It reminds me of the baseball season that is coming to a close this week and as it comes down to the wire, ... - ODP/DMOZ Creates Community Blog (Search Engine Roundtable)
published on Wed, 26 Sep 2007 14:26:37 GMT
WebmasterWorld members announced that the ODP has created a blog which is run by AOL staff. That's great, some say. They always believed there was an intelligent force behind DMOZ and hope it persists. They hope that a new era is about to arrive with better quality. I'd love to see AOL make a sincere effort to diagnose and fix the weaknesses of DMOZ (no need to repeat that ... - Open Directory Launches The Official DMOZ Blog (Search Engine Land)
