Google Directory Update

...or not...

Usually talk now turns to the Directory being updated showing new page rank, but I haven't seen mention of this. I thought it did last month, but are we assuming it won't be updated this month because of the ODP dump problems? On the other hand perhaps my category I monitor in directory-ex hasn't changed at all, but I think that is unlikely. Anyway, anybody see Google directory pagerank changes yet?

i have two sites in dmoz and directory pr is updated for both of them .

>> If a catagory you submit to does not have an editor, will you ever get listed? <<

Yes. Editors can edit in categories beneath the one they are listed in, and usually do.

For example, if I am accepted as an editor of Category/Subcategory/LowerCategory/, I can edit in that category only. If I am accepted to edit the parent category - Category/Subcategory/, I will probably resign LowerCategory since I can edit there anyhow.

The short of it is that any editor of a category above the one that you're concerned with can edit there, as can any editall or meta editor. We try to get to the unreviewed sites as quickly as we can, and I think that most categories have a fairly short turnaround.

If it's been a month or more and your site hasn't been reviewed, contact (politely) the editor of the category above it (or another higher level editor of the same category tree) and ask about it.
