where does this leave the pr0 thoery?

dmos gets pr0

[soapystar]

i just found a cat. in dmoz where the page shows a pr0...now how can dmoz get a penalty?...can i post the url?

[JuDDer]

I'm guessing that it's one of the 'link exchange' type cats?

If so, look at the Google directory as I think it's PR0'd there too.

Linking to "bad neighborhoods" is supposedly dangerous, soapy, and DMOZ editors usually don't use PR as one of their review criteria. Link farms, or other dicey SEO sites, could cause a problem (although it seems to bomb that page only, not the whole domain).

[soapystar]

nope..it wasnt a link cat. but damn..ive lost the link myself now..it was a directory type cat.

Yes soapystar, two instances of DMoz.org PR0s have been found to my knowledge.

When Google penalised the word 'guestbook' earlier this year, the ODP guestbook category was unable to pass PR on. It's fine now.

A while ago, the Link Popularity category couldn't pass on PageRank, and at first glance it now looks as though the Promotion category can't either.

ODP links are normally OK here, but I'll post these addresses without linking them.
