Drat!

I just looked and saw it said "RDF's Pushed" and thought I had an exclusive.

Oh well, perhaps second place is not bad.

Could be some major changes in store in the Google SERPs with a couple hundred thousand (estimated) new listings in ODP since the last RDF was pushed to the Google directory in September or whenever that was.

[quotations]

Yes, there are some major changes to the structure of some categories I follow.

This looks like a full RDF dump, without errors or duplicates. Google will probably pick that up, to use with their directory, sometime in the next few weeks (though the ODP has no control over when they do this). It is 5 months since the last one, and there have been a massive amount of changes since then. Should be interesting to see the updates ripple through the rest of the internet (though there are many sites out there using data they have not updated for 3 or more years).

I take it since no one was watching close enough in the past, there are no statistics as to how long on average it takes for Google to pick up the new listings? This could be very exciting if it gets merged with the complete reindex (assumed) at the end of February...

[g1smd]

Google used to take the dump about once per month, the update usually appearing late in the month (and taken some indeterminate time earlier; probably a few weeks). The data seemed to be just over a month out of date whenever I checked a category and compared it to the native ODP version.

It will be nice if google updated the directory before the next crawl. I have a site that has been in dmoz for months but not in the google directory.

DMOZ has just had a successful RDF dump with catids. [rdf.dmoz.org...]
