Too much weight on DMOZ/Google link-text This is a bit silly

No matter what change google makes to their algorithm, someone thinks that it is some sort of stupid change. But then lots of people start abusing the change, so google has to change it again.

You ignored a factor in your SEO and it happens to be a highly ranked factor right now. Consider it a handy wake up call, showing you a weakness.

By the way, are you sure that it is because the it is anchor text on DMOZ/Google, or is it just anchor text that happens in this case to be on the two directories?

Do you have *any* links to you with "used widgets" as the anchor text? Do they have additional links with that anchor text?
