Hi GG... yes most
most assuredly building quality links is important. After a couple of weeks
of investigating and the extreme number of websites that use the RDF from the ODP
and are included in the index, I have concluded they are nothing less than
spamming the index of Google, aside from just being affiliate type sites
shoving advertising into the users face.
Considering the extensive restructuring of G since the Florida update et al
emphasizing the "information" of the internet as opposed to the SEO advertising
methods, I would think that the use of the RDF from the ODP
would be considered nothing less than spam.
So how do we detect ODP RDFs... all RDF are suppose to carry a copyright notice,
and most often have at the bottom "become an editor" or similar linking back to
ODP.... that in itself would indicate a spam site built off of ODP.

Best regards GG... hope you are enjoying the free time with out the 'rents around :-))

Cheers and thanks for all the work you help out the gang here.
