How old is the odp db Google is using?
Ya, it was updated, but it looks like atleast a month old directory.

Still seeing a bit of swapping about on the ODP Google front. A site that I added to the ODP about 2 months ago has the directory category displayed next to it's listing on the Google main serps, but when I look at the directory category the site in question is not there.

I notice that one category of interest to me was updated a few hours ago, although they were using an ODP extract that was 1-2 weeks old.

Then about 5 minutes ago they swapped back to the old (unupdated) version.

Very odd.

Brett, I'll concur that it is within the last 30 days. I had a listing go live approximately one month ago and its showing in the current update, when its there! ;)

Yep, I had a site added between 2-3 weeks ago and it's not showing up in the Google directory. I can't say when it was added to Dmoz exactly because it still has yet to show on a dmoz search, I had to find it thru drill down of various cats.
