Just was curious about peoples suggestions and predictions for the Google Algo. Heres some of my thoughts as i was going thru DMOZ looking for some link exchanges.

Much less emphasis on DMOZ. As i was looking for link exchanges this is what i found. About 5% of the sites listed don't even exist anymore. Alot of "this category needs an editor". Alot of tripod, geocities type sites. I can't get in myself, but i know my site is better than most in my category. I think Google is the best SE in the world, but don't understand the relationship with DMOZ.

Less emphasis on reciprocal links, more on sites linking to yours without a link back. Mainly because i could spend a week doing nothing but link exchanges and easily get hundreds. That's not hard it just takes time. I think it's more important if a site links to a site without a link back.

Maybe this is in the algo already, but more emphasis on if your site is in the other search engines. Why? Name a site with a PR 8,9,10 thats not in the other search engines.

Thats just a few, i could name more but football is on.

As much as dmoz will state otherwise-there is nothing "open" about there directory. Coruption exists in all walks of life, however dmoz is more prone to such abuse by virtue of the fact there is tangible finincial benifit gained by having a listing in the "closed" directory ;)
