old_crone Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Re: Status request for http://www.candybardesigns. the ODP's significance lies only in the importance Google places upon it when determining page rank. I see, so in truth you don't care about the ODP or what it's doing or not doing. You only care about Google's page rank and somehow the ODP is being placed in the position of being responsible for your sites ranking, or lack of it, on Google. And they are supposed to believe that listing your site, and the thousands just like it, will help their directory to better serve the consumer when your only concern is how your site will fare on Google? If you want consistency, then offer up the inconsistencies, I'm sure it will be taken care of asap. If you don't want to be a part of the solution, then you have no real complaint, or better said, a voice without the drive toward action can not be heard. But you don't really care about the ODP's inconsistencies, do you? If they happily listed your site you would go off and watch your Google rank increase and forget all about the ODP's inconsistencies, right?

I believe that if you read my earlier post you would see this is not true. As a matter of fact I do care about what you guys are doing and wish I could be a part of it. My statement was referring only to its influence on the traffic of a site. I'm sure this does not offend anyone since driving traffic to sites is obviously not the objective of this project. Sorry if the way I stated it sounded harsh. And by no means take my discussion in this thread as my complete feelings about the project. Through this thread I have gained a greater understanding of how the directory works, and there is nothing wrong with a little debate in my eyes, as long as it's done with respect for the other participants. And if you look closely, I'm sure you'll notice that when responded to respectfully I have always tried to be respectful in return. So again, aside from my frustration about this particular case have great respect for the project, and should I ever be given the chance to participate, I would do so with great integrity and pride.
