I dont see how people are saying that the directory-sj is the new one.

My site now has a PR7. I am ranked 6th. The number three site has PR6. 4 and 5 have PR7. Same problem with directory, directory-ex, etc... that same site with PR6 is ranked second [it used to be PR8 last month]

Did google know about the new ODP dump and is waiting for it?

Ahmed,

Yes, we are all waiting for it. When the final dump is complete, it'll be very big (and very good) news.

I have another weird thing with google

I got a site added to the ODP a long time ago .. Junish ... domain.com/innerSite

Google has it in the directory, but every month when it updates, it shows it as offline [no PR bar next to it]. But if you visit the page, it shows a PR6 - and for a VERY important key1 key2 search phrase, the innerSite comes first.

WHY is google not showing PR next to its own directory link?

No need. Google spiders the ODP direct, and bases PR on that. Sites that have been added since the last ODP dump are showing ODP backlinks.

I can't wait until my very-old description is updated in the Google-Dir, though...
