Especially with the new update I see a lot of SEOs who register expired dmoz domains in order to get a high PR. Then these people use these expired domains
in order to build their site in a completely different niche than the dmoz category and link to 100 more sites in a completely different niche.
Of course these domains will not be deleted from dmoz because they are registered at the same day
they expire and the dmoz editors don't check all sites in a category.

So thousands of domain names are only ranked high with Google because they have one
link from an unrelated category at dmoz.

This is pure cheating.

I bet there are already 1.000.000 sites cheating this way.
I am not sure why Google won't stop this.

So report it to Google - that's all you can do.
