Guest Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 It seems that we are now listed in DMOZ, however for over a month we still have not been listed in the Google directory which uses DMOZ. Any ideas? It would seem that be now, if we were to be included in Google, the updates from DMOZ would be available by now. Thanks http://directory.google.com/alpha/Top/Computers/Software/Industry-Specific/Construction/Estimating/
beebware Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 If you look through past posts on this board, you will see that there are currently severe technical issues affecting the RDF dump that ODP produces and that is used by "downstream data partners" such as Google. Staff @ the ODP are more than aware of this problem and are working to resolve it as soon as possible: but the problem is it takes around 4 days to produce each dump (due to the amount of data in it) and it's been failing in the last few hours of the dump - not fun for someone trying to debug it <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> Other than that, we have no control whatsoever over the usage of the data by Google et al. [note: the "Site Submission Status" forum was probably not the best place to ask, "Bugs+Features" would have been more ideal]
Guest Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 Thank you very much for your input. At least we now know that it is not something on our end. Regards, Bid2Build
