Googles Directory

not listed there now

[moomelman]

Hi when I search for my site using the Googles Directory tab Im not listed - if I remember right I was there not too long ago - but Im still in the Web listings - should I be worried? Do I need to resubmit my site to Google again?

I thought the Google directory was just a "mirrored" ODP listing (I checked ODP and Im still listed there)

Thanks

Hi Moomelman, I think there's quite a lag between the time your site is added to Dmoz and the time Google updates it's directory. First DMOZ must include the data in the RDF dump which is sometimes a month behind, then Google updates this data. So in total I think there's a 2 month lag. I'm not sure about this though so if someone has more information please clarify this.

I thought it was about 2 months, but my PR6 site has been in the directory for over 3 months. It still has had no PR in the listings so it makes me last. I am not sure why it is like that.

The URL in DMOZ has to be identical to the URL of the page in Google's index - I have some pages that are www.domain in DMOZ but just domain to Google, and they appear all white in the Google Directory, right at the bottom of the category.
